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…

Quilters Planner Cover Finished
I was so excited to get my Quilter’s Planner on my birthday last week, the timing was perfect and (as I often am at the end of the year) I was ready to get planning, scheduling and starting some new organizational habits. I’ve been elbow deep on some exciting “super secret” things in the craft…
Triangle Baby Quilt
I remember the night I started this quilt very clearly. I was home by myself, in my old apartment on a Saturday night. It was getting down to the wire before moving and I had a list of things a mile long to do. Mostly cleaning, purging and packing. Do you know what I did instead?…

Anchor Pillow
Sometimes I’m hit or miss with gift giving but this year I want to try and break that habit, so this other day when I was scrolling through my Pinterest boards & bookmarks I came across an anchor quilt block and thought of my friend Amanda.

Pincushion Finish
After having a tricky crafty start to my week with the paper piecing fiasco of 2014 I needed a little win. So I followed the wrist pincushion tutorial over at Planet Jane to make myself a wrist pin cushion. My final finish of 2014. I cut into two highly coveted stash scraps, a Moda twill…
