Exploding Heart Jacket!

Almost immediately after I published the Exploding Heart quilt pattern, I had the idea to turn it into a denim jacket. And nine months later, it's done!! 

I can not express in words how much I love it! I'm so thrilled with how it turned out, and I want to wear it everywhere!!

Don't let the looks fool you - this is one of those projects that needs a "this took forever" tag!

Rain Showers - A FREE Quilt Block Pattern!

April showers bring May flowers! And in this case, Quilt Block Mania brings rain themed quilt blocks!

I decided to go with a modern interpretation of rain, using simple lines to make my quilt block.

Pi Day Mini Quilt

Pi Day only comes once a year, and of course we celebrate big! We always have pie (this year we had apple and chocolate chip cookie pie!), and I always make a quilt! This is my fifth year of Slice of Pi Quilts, and this was my fifth time making a Pi Day quilt!

When hunting for other pi and circle themed quilts, I came across this amazing one by Three Owls Handmade, and I knew that was just the jump start I needed.

Rose Garden - A FREE Quilt Block Pattern!

This month's Quilt Block Mania theme is flowers - and I have a sweet and simple pieced block to share with you!

Let's Take a Road Trip!

My friend and pattern designer, Heather Black of Quiltachusetts, has so many great things happening! She is now the author of TWO quilting books, and her second fabric collection was just released too!! Of course I jumped at the chance to sew something up with her newest fabrics! 

The collection is named "Road Trip" - a nod to the memories of Heather's family road trips. When brainstorming what I might make, I kept circling back to travel themed ideas. I knew suitcases would be a great way to feature the prints in the collection, so the idea was born!
