Hi friends! Today I have a really special (long) post for you! Today I want to share a quilt that took me two years and about 85 hours to complete - my Postage Stamp quilt! I got so many questions on Instagram every time I posted pictures of this project so I will try to cover all the FAQ's here. First, let me start at the beginning... THE INSPIRATION My grandmother passed away in October 2019. She was the one who taught me how to quilt and who my pattern company is named after. After she…

I was inspired to start a Scrappy Postage Stamp Quilt after seeing Amber's from Gigi's Thimble. This is my long-term project for 2023 and throughout the year I'll update my progress. Good morning lovely! Earlier in the week I shared my thoughts on slowing down and creating with intention, and I encouraged you to start a long-term project for 2023 - today I'm sharing mine.

I had coffee and a chat with one of the "In the Beginning" fabric designers and President of the DC Modern Quilt guild, Jessie Aller! I am hoping Jessie posts the photo SHE took of us as I was a slacker and didn't get one. I have SO MANY photos from the show, that I thought I'd just share a few of my favs.. then I'll share more another day.. ok? OK! I stopped into That Thread Shop that carries all the…

a very large quilt with many different colored squares on it's sides and bottom

Since moving my business to a new studio I have had loads of stuff to sort out. (kind of an embarrassing amount of stuff) My original studio was also a building we used for storage before it was opened up so we had boxes of things stored there as well as we traveled so often. We have been renovating and trying to sort things out for the house and I have been sorting stock piles of things out of the studio. My thought process on this all was if I couldn't re-use it, re-work it, find a new…

We inherited this from my husband's grandmother when she passed away. I'm trying to convince my husband it would be so much better out and in use than tucked away in a cedar chest.

I've been saving scraps in the hopes of someday finding time to do a modern take on this.
