Thursday, February 5, 2026

When Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce started dating, I wanted to make a quilt to join in the Kansas City fun!

I've now made three different Besties quilts - but this one is the most likely to be seen during a football game! You can see the other versions HERE and HERE.

It feels like it's been months since I've done any sewing, but I'm here to show you my second finish for 2026! (The first one was made with fabrics that I can't share yet, so you'll have to wait until May to see that one!)

Jennifer from The Inquiring Quilter has another signature collection from Island Batik, and she asked if I wanted to play with some of the fabrics! How could I say no to that?!?

It's always such a fun day when I get to play with new fabric! Jennifer Thomas of Curlicue Creations asked if I would like to sew with some of her new Berry Crush fabric collection from Island Batik, and of course I jumped at the chance!

Fabric Shoelaces: A Tutorial

Thursday, August 21, 2025

Do you have projects on your someday list that just never seem to bubble to the top?? I have lots of those! Twice a year, I go to a quilt retreat, and I pick something off that list to work on there. I've come to really look forward to experimenting and doing something just to scratch an itch! 

The project I chose for my recent retreat was making homemade shoelaces for a pair of shoes!
