The Willow collection by will forever be one of my favorites, and this Perfect Place quilt was such a lovely one to make. I gifted the finished quilt away and sometimes think about making something similar again.

Sharon Holland’s newest collection, Charming One, is giving me a lot of the same feelings I loved about Willow: soft, pretty, a little romantic, and full of prints that would be so good in this pattern. And now I can’t stop thinking about making another Perfect Place…this time one that stays at my house.

What do you think—should a Charming One Perfect Place be added to the WIP list?! 🤪

I have spent hours sitting on my sewing room floor surrounded by fabric, pulling things out, putting them back, making little piles, abandoning little piles… you know the drill. 🤪

I originally thought my South Beach quilt was going in a completely different direction, but somewhere along the way I decided I wanted it to feel like it was heading toward fall—without giving up all the bright, cheerful color I love.

The print in the second photo by one of my longtime favorite designers, , was one of my starting points. Then I kept coming back to the completely different floral in the third photo from another favorite, . On their own, they really don’t have much in common. 😂 But I loved them both and wanted them both in this quilt, so I just kept pulling fabrics until somehow they started to make sense together.

And I think they do?? The mix of print styles is honestly all over the place, but the colors are tying everything together in a way that feels warm and fall-ish and still bright and happy. I am VERY excited about this one.

I’m making South Beach by after loving making my Crossroads Quilt so much, and right now I’m considering using the low-volume prints on the left for the centers of each block. But I’m not totally committed yet. Would you use the low volumes there, or keep the whole quilt colorful?

Stellata is having a bit of a moment. 🌟

This pattern has always been a top seller for both me and my co-designer Lisa, .quilts, but over the past couple of days we’ve both noticed a pretty significant little flurry of Stellata orders—and I am absolutely here for it.

Mostly, I just keep thinking about how many lovely Stellata quilts are about to come into the world, and I can’t wait to see them!

If you recently bought a copy of the Stellata pattern, please tag me when you start choosing fabrics, piecing blocks, or sharing your finished quilt. I genuinely love seeing what you make.

And if Stellata is what brought you here for the first time—welcome! I love this little quilting community and getting to know the people behind the quilts. I’m so happy you’re here. ❤️

Crossroads Quilt blocks are coming together fast and fun, and I love them! I’ve had my eye on this pattern by for awhile and decided to try to squeeze it in before summer ends. I’m so glad I did!

The finished size will be a nice throw, and I’m wanting something cozy for the backing. What would you use? Minky? Flannel? Something else?

I’m waiting on a few extra fabrics for my scrappy Halloween quilt, so naturally I decided this was the perfect time to cut into something completely different and add another quilt to my WIP list. 🤪

This Crossroads Quilt started with a bundle that then grew quite a bit as I started pulling from my stash. I’m so excited about this soft, outdoorsy mix of blues, greens, creams, and little pops of ochre and rust.

Swipe through to see a beautiful print by of my favorite place on Earth. It’s been sitting on my cutting table waiting for a frame, and once I laid out these fabrics next to it, I realized just how perfectly the colors belong together. 💙🌲 I’ll have to get it up on the wall to enjoy while I’m working.

Okay, I think I’ve found my next project! 🎃 Because my 40-ish project long WIP list obviously needs one more.

I pulled out every Halloween print in my stash, and apparently Past Me has been preparing for this moment for quite some time. 😂

I’m going to use these for a scrappy Great Heights quilt by , with the blacks and grays doing most of the background work and all these Halloween colors scattered throughout the rest.

But looking at this pull, I definitely need MORE color. I’m loving the pinks, purples, oranges, and mustardy golds, and I’m thinking some greens and teals might be exactly what it needs.

So help me shop my stash: what colors would you add to this mix? Would you go green? Teal? Both? Something else entirely?

Time to go digging through the fabric bins. 👻🕸️🎃

One thing quilting has taught me is that I don’t have to think about the whole quilt while I’m making it.

When I’m sewing, I’m usually just thinking about the next step. Cutting today’s pieces. Finishing one more block. Sewing one more row.

Eventually, all of those small steps become a finished quilt.

I think that’s one of the things I love most about quilting. It reminds me that beautiful things don’t usually happen all at once. They come together one piece at a time.

What’s your favorite stage of making a quilt? Cutting, piecing, quilting, or binding?

I organize most of my fabric by color.

Not because I’m especially organized (my scraps would tell a different story 😄), but because it’s the easiest way for me to pull fabrics for a new project.

When I’m choosing fabrics, I usually have a color palette in mind before I have specific prints in mind. Seeing everything grouped together helps me notice combinations I might have missed if they were organized by collection or designer.

It’s also a good reminder that beautiful quilts don’t have to come from one fabric line. Some of my favorite combinations mix fabrics from different designers, different manufacturers, and even different years.

How do you organize your fabric? By color, collection, designer… or something completely different?

A few years ago I decided to try hand quilting a clamshell design. I was convinced it looked terrible. 🤪 I ripped it all out, loaded the quilt onto my longarm to quilt it that way instead, and called it good.

So when I started this quilt and was planning to hand quilt it, I was honestly a little nervous about tackling curves again.

But something about Baptist fans kept calling my name, and I’m so glad I listened.

Will I ever claim these stitches are perfect? Absolutely not. But I’m genuinely happy with them. Every row has gotten a little more comfortable, a little more consistent, and a little more me.

I think that’s true of quilting—and honestly, most things worth learning. We don’t get better by waiting until we’re naturally good at something. We get better by trying, making imperfect things, learning as we go, and trusting that each attempt teaches us something the last one couldn’t.

Handmade isn’t beautiful because it’s flawless. It’s beautiful because you can see the hands, the learning, and the person behind every stitch.

And I’m completely here for that. 💙
