This was what my dining room wall looked like on Sunday night. The quilt tops were laid out and I had stitched 2/3 of one top together. I finished the diamond in diamond top on Monday. I’m pleased with the top and for the most part the points actually line up. I’m excited to start […]

Hometown Reunion & Working Big
Hometown Reunion (52†x 52â€) I pieced together 144 5†squares of Hometown and Reunion fabrics with some Ash Kona and 4 squares of unknown origin that came with the Hometown charm pack created by a local quilt shop. It’s backed in medium gray Kona and quilted in concentric squares – my favorite method of […]
Upcoming Projects and Ideas
Hometown & Reunion fabrics Sunday was a blissful day. I had taken over the dining room on Friday and Saturday for the Pezzy Thread quilt and instead of putting away the folding table and returning my sewing machine to my studio I happily cut squares and stitched while watching my husband play a video game.

Pezzy Thread

Now Stitching
This ticker tape quilt has been unfinished and tucked in a drawer for almost a year. Life has been crazy lately and stitching square after square is relaxing.
Play Fabric Book
I started this fabric book last November. I worked on it in bits and finally dove into it last week. The book is constructed from felt and flannel fused to a dreamy cotton gauze and a vintage table scarf cut into smaller pieces I embellished the pages with fabrics, cheesecloth and trims I had dyed […]
Fabric Book for Ashley

I printed the photos onto Jacquard Inkjet Printing Cotton fabric sheets. I constructed the book with canvas and cotton batting […]
