Welcome to my stop on the Flower Pot blog hop!

Rose Garden quilt in Flower Pot batik fabrics

The Flower Pot collection is a signature collection from Island Batik for my friend Jennifer of The Inquiring Quilter. When she asked if I wanted to join in the blog hop and make something with the fabric, I knew exactly what I wanted to make!

Mini Exploding Heart - Drivin' Down 9

Thursday, August 22, 2024

Lysa Flower designed this Drivin' Down 9 fabric last year, and I made a Suitcases quilt with it (remember this one??). I had some scraps left over, so decided to make a MINI Exploding Heart quilt with them!

Pretty in Pink!

Thursday, August 8, 2024

I recently went to a quilt retreat, and knew it would be the perfect time to make a quick and easy baby quilt! A relative of my husband recently had a baby girl, and I had made a quilt for their son, so I *had* to make a quilt for their daughter!

Going Bat Crazy!

Thursday, August 1, 2024

Last month, Missouri Star sent me a bundle of Halloween fabrics to sew into a Bat Crazy quilt!

It was such a happy stack of fabric! The collection name is Hey Boo, and it was designed by Lella Boutique for Moda. I love the subtle colors that aren't as bright as the usual Halloween colors!

When life gives you farm fabric, you make a chicken quilt!

Clucks chicken quilt

Several months ago, I picked all this fabric from Missouri Star Quilt Co., including the 10" stack of Country Life fabric by Jennifer Long of Riley Blake Designs. I knew it would make a fantastic Clucks quilt!

Split Arrows in Batiks

Thursday, May 16, 2024

I get to share a finish this week that was actually finished almost a year ago!! This quilt was made to show off the Reflections fabric collection by Island Batik, and it appeared in their catalog to sell the fabric. But that meant that I had to make it in secret - starting over a year ago!

It's been a few weeks since the total solar eclipse passed across the US, but I wanted to share the quilt that I made to mark the occasion!

A Third and a First

Thursday, February 1, 2024

The Exploding Heart quilt pattern launched in 2020, and four years later, there's now a MINI Exploding Heart quilt pattern! When I was looking for fabrics that would work well for the smaller version, I was immediately drawn to Tilda fabrics. They're from Norway, and more pricey than typical fabrics. This makes them special - and perfect for making a wall-hanging sized Exploding Heart quilt!
