Dresdens Decoded Tutorial

I’ve been surprised to meet so many quilters recently who haven’t tried a dresden yet, including some who’ve been quilting for years!

Scrappy Disappearing 9-Patch Tutorial

Hi Friends! Since I snapped a few pics along the way of my improved disappearing nine patch quilt for my little girl, I thought I’d throw together a quick little tutorial for anyone interested in this super easy, versatile block.

Invisible Machine Sewn Binding Experiments

So, I cranked out a couple more mug rugs last night for the church raffle, and this time they were cuter, wonkier, and FASTER. Sure, the improv piecing whips up pretty fast anyway, but as 1am approached, I had to kick things into overdrive and go for a speedy machine stitched binding. I know, I […]

Embroidery Hoops- Gaga or Gag?

What is it about these little things that is so darned cute? It’s hard to hate them. Why? Well, first of all they’re cheap- love. Match any decor- love. Perfect cute circles that come in a zillion sizes- love. Seriously people, they are EVERYWHERE. They’re modern , they’re quaint, they’re magical, and apparently they’re even […]
