USA Block Tour - Missouri

Welcome to Missouri!

I am so excited to share about this quilt block! I partnered with Denniele of Louanna Mary Quilt Design to design a complimentary Missouri quilt block pattern for the Around the Block - US Tour! This is part of a larger project with dozens of other pattern designers. Each week, a new FREE block pattern is released representing another one of the 50 US states. If you quilt along, you'll be able to make a quilt representing all 50 states!

Going Batty! - A Finished Quilt!

Welcome to my stop on the Halloween Hoppin' Blog Hop! Hosted by Marian at Seams To Be Sew, the hop is a fun way to meet new quilters and see what spooky things we've all been stitching!

I knew the hop would be the perfect excuse to sew up a quilt using my Bat Crazy pattern! 

The Houses on the Hill

Back in April, a customer messaged me through my Etsy shop to commission a quilt. Due to a series of unexpected events (all related to the pandemic), the quilt took WAY longer than anticipated! But I am thrilled to be able to show you the finished quilt now!

Pumpkin Spice Season

The leaves are beginning to change color here in Missouri, and that makes me want to sew autumn things! Do you remember this quilt? When the fabric designer, Nancy Archer, mailed me fabric for that quilt, she also sent a half-yard bundle of her Pumpkin Spice collection too!

Paper Chain Family - FREE Quilt Block

This month's Quilt Block Mania theme is Family! Dozens of pattern designers have come together to share FREE quilt blocks with you every month! Carolina from AlwaysExpectMoore is spearheading the project, and it is so fun to see what everyone comes up with each month!

Last year, when I made this quilt, I also made a cute "paper" chain made from fabric. The people are holding hands, and it creates hearts in-between them. 

I really love the paper chain, and it sits on a shelf in my sewing studio. When this month's prompt was "family," I knew the paper chain people needed to be featured again!

Diamond Star Quilts
