Morrison Park - Exploding Heart

Tuesday, September 29, 2020

A few months ago, Pat Sloan emailed me asking if I'd like to join her social media tour for her new Morrison Park fabric collection. Of course I immediately said YES! Fast forward to today, and it's my turn to share my Exploding Heart quilt!

Plan to Quilt - A Quilty Planner Review

Thursday, September 10, 2020

I have had a thing for office supplies since a very young age. I remember the feeling I got when opening a new box of 64 crayons, and it's the same feeling I get when opening a new pack of pens as an adult. I love pretty notepads, washi tape, colorful pens, and all things paper. I've started a small collection of quilty planners, so I'd thought I'd share them each with you over the next few weeks. I'll do a round up post at the end to share what I love (and don't!) about each one too!

The Plan to Quilt project planner is an undated organizer great for tracking and recording quilty finishes!

First up is "Plan to Quilt" by Shannon Gillman Orr of Eva Blake's Makery. (You can read about two other quilty planner review posts HERE and HERE.)
