Mom asked for another Dionne Duster Cardigan (which is yet un-made…sorry Mum) and in the order from Nature’s Fabric, I added 3 cuts of bamboo stretch fleece to make a second sweatshirt pattern after the successful Hudson Hoodie from the spring. This one used the pattern Around the Block by Ellie & Mac and I…

Hudson Hoodie in Bamboo Fleece & Chickens
I’d picked up a few yards of an adorable chicken fabric last fall (2019) and a yard of a grey ribbed knit from JoAnn online when I was first trying to get a feel for all these not-quilting-cotton textiles. When I ordered the fabric for my mom’s cardigan from Nature’s Fabric I added some of…
Two Dionne Duster Cardigans
At the end of 2019, when I decided to give knit wear sewing a real go, I started thinking about what I wear the most and picking colors and prints that would work well with the rest of my wardrobe. I’ve always been a layers girl. So I scoured the Pinterest boards for an indie…
Fruity Blue Lane Raglan

I wanted this Lane Raglan to be a bit shorter so I cropped the body pattern pieces by 2¼”. Sizing Cut: LargeAlterations: Cropped 2¼” length.My Measurements: 39½” bust,…
My First Lane Raglan 💛
Me made May – and this year…well, I’ve made things! In the late fall 2019 I started dabbling in sewing apparel. The Lane Raglan by Hey June Handmade was one of those patterns I’d bought years ago, with aspirations, but was never brave enough to pull the trigger and just cut into it. Curves were…
Rainbow Medallion Mini Quilt
Oh what a winding journey this quilt has made. This little mini quilt has a long story behind it. In the center of this quilt is a star – I sketched this star in 2016, back in the early days of Mini Barn Quilts. There was an idea I had which would have added an…
Logo Quilted Pillow
I was in the craft room the other day – I should have been cleaning and packing but as I often do, I got distracted and decided to make something instead, This idea has been percolating for a bit now; the geometric nature of the logo at my job has quietly whispered “quilt me” for quite…

If you are on the Mini Barn Quilt newsletter you’ll have already gotten the news but the Mini Barn Quilt shop will be shutting down at the end of this month and effective yesterday all kits are deeply discounted to 50% off! I’m planning to write a bit more about this from a perspective of…
Watercolor in the Mountains
This weekend B and I traveled up to camp in the Adirondack Mountains. Even though we were there for less than 48hrs, it’s amazing how relaxing a bit of outdoor time and pure , unadulterated sunshine can be. Last year when we went up for a week in August I had impulsively run to the…
Photos from the Woods
Recently the beloved and I took a walk through the woods. We’ve been trying to make time (not find, make) to spend time together outside the house. Hiking is cheaper than going out to dinner and for me it’s great to use my body hiking since my weekdays are filled with a desk job and…
