Best of all the beautiful winter light is just wonderful to take photos if your clients are willing to don their best outerwear! My friend Kelly contacted me in November…

Quilt Along.net
Haven’t gotten much quilting done this week for a few reasons: I got frustrated that the paper piecing pattern I created had two blocks that came out the wrong size. I’ve yet to fix the pattern and have been kind of a grump about it I had an awesome idea for an ironing board cover…

Chris & Katie’s Engagement Session

Jeepers, I hadn’t checked my mail for a bit and turns out I’m on the hook for a new quilt bloggers post today (not to mention the perfect picnic blog hop post due on Thursday!) I wasn’t sure exactly what to post then I popped open light room and figured I’d show off my latest…
That’s a Mistake Thursday: Fixing a Block Facing the Wrong Way
To run some tests on the new machine I decided to put the quilts to the side for a few days to sew up a pillow. The pillow uses scraps from Dreaming in Honey (the extras when making the diamond in a square blocks and will let me practice piecing, quilting, making piping and general…
