The Great American Quilt Hop

Welcome to the Great American Quilt Hop, a celebration of quilts and quilt projects inspired by 250 years of American history, heritage, and freedom. I'm sharing a peek behind the seams of the Patriotic Exploding Heart quilt as my stop on the hop!

Hear Me Roar!

In my quest to blog about all the quilts I've made, I'm throwing it back to a Dino Roar quilt I finished in 2023 but never shared here! I made the quilt for Riley Blake Designs, and it appeared on their blog in December 2023! 

H+H Art Installation

I'm at H+H this week in Chicago, and I have a fun thing to share! (H+H is the new Quilt Market. It's a business trade show for fabric companies, designers, and others in the quilting industry to show off all their new things.) I am an exhibitor at the show (I have a booth showing off my new things), and several months ago I was invited to be a part of a group project. 

Each participant was tasked with making a specific portion of the "h+h" logo in a very specific size to create an art installation at the entry doors of the show.

Patchwork Bible Bag

Some projects linger on the want-to-make list for a long time, and some projects (like this one!) just get made without ever getting onto the list!

Bunny Twitches

Shortly after designing the Puppy Kisses quilt, I had dreams of making a version with rabbits. I'm finally sharing the Bunny Twitches quilt and pattern here on the blog!

Puppy Kisses - in Pink!

You might have seen the Puppy Kisses quilts I've made before (HERE and HERE), but they were both made with blue and green fabrics. I wanted to make another one in pinks and purples, so today is the day for that quilt!

Puppy Dog Quilt

In my quest to share quilts that I've made but never blogged, I introduce you to the first Puppy Kisses quilt I made!

Besties - KC version

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.

 

Besties Affirmation Quilt

Last week, I shared the original Besties quilt (see that post here), and this week, I'm sharing my favorite version I've made!

Besties Friendship Bracelet Quilt

I have quite a few finished quilts that I've never shared on the blog, so I've set a goal to start sharing those this year! First up is the Besties quilt!

Dancing Through the Lightning Strikes

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?!?
