Welcome to the Winter Haven Project Hop! I’m thrilled to be participating in the Winter Haven Project Hop, celebrating Winter Haven, the newest fabric collection by Rachel Rossi of @designsbyrr for Benartex. Winter Haven was inspired by peaceful winter landscapes, woodland wildlife, and ...
It is always a lot of fun making patriotic projects, especially with things made from around the house. Here in the United States one can see a lot of red, white and blue, especially in the summer months. If you are anything like me, you like to show some patriotism by decorating your home with ...
In the fall of 2024 I designed and released a new quilt block pattern. It was a bit different in that it is not square, it’s a triangular shape. Not only that, but it is for paper piecing and the individual triangles come together easily. The block pattern works perfectly with 2 ...
In this episode of my “Working Our Scraps Off” YouTube series you are getting 2 free projects instead of just one. Not only that, this episode is sponsored by Hobbs Batting and we are having a quilt along to celebrate (details later in the blog post)! The holidays will be here ...
This month the Island Batik ambassadors got to play with triangles. I used some of their lovely fabrics (more about them later) to make a fun and striking wall quilt. With the leftover strips I decided to make a fun tutorial. If you want an incredibly easy and scrappy project then you will want ...
I am in love with the new purple gradation hand dyes from Island Batik. I am a 2022 Island Batik ambassador and this is the bundle of 20 fat quarters that they sent me to work with. Aren’t these colors incredible? For my January ambassador project I made a gradient quilt, but I was lucky ...

This month the Island Batik ambassadors were challenged to create a quilt that would spread love and joy with AccuQuilt®. What a wonderful challenge to get. I came up with my quilt “With Love” which I gave to the staff of the nursing home where my father lived for the last three ...
I don’t know about you, but I am really enjoying making my new YouTube series “Working Our Scraps Off.” It is fun bringing you a new scrap fabric project each month. This month is no exception, and with summer right around the corner it is time to dig through our red, white, ...
For May of 2021, the Island Batik ambassadors were given a bundle of fabrics from their newest lines and challenged to make a modern quilt with them. I was lucky enough to get the Holly Holiday line designed by Kathy Engle. This festive assortment of greens, reds, and golds shipped to stores in ...
Table runners are always a fun project. For the most part, they are easier patterns, they don’t use up a lot of fabric, and don’t take up too much time. They are also an ideal project for the holidays. I think most of us like to change up our décor around the various seasons, and ...
