Surprise!! I have a new quilt pattern releasing today! Get it HERE!
I first made the Suitcases quilt last year, and when Riley Blake announced the new Pan Am fabric collection, I knew it was the right time to write the pattern!
Tammy of Tamarinis and Kate of Kate Colleran Designs have joined together to create a new block-of-the-month pattern called the Sisterhood quilt! I'm one of thirty bloggers that's teamed up with them to make a block from the quilt and share my own story of "sisterhood!" There's a quilt along happening for the quilt too, which sounds like a wonderful way to sew with friends and create your own quilty sisterhood!
Just a few weeks ago, a young mom in the local homeschool co-op that my kids attended was diagnosed with breast cancer. I'm teaching a quilting class for the kids at the co-op (we meet once a week for an hour), so I decided it would be a wonderful life lesson for the kids to make a quilt for the mom!
Knowing we just had one week to make the blocks before the mom was going to have surgery, I wanted to make a quick and easy quilt. But my husband reminded me that the Exploding Heart quilt was really the best choice, and I knew he was right.
I grew up in Kansas singing about living in the lands "where the buffalo roam," but thanks to the internet, I've learned that it should be "where the buffalo roam!" No matter how hard I try though, I just can't seem to call this a bison. It's a buffalo to me!
It's a new panel from Riley Blake - and they call it a bison! What do YOU call this animal??
I learned to sew in 4-H. Now, my own boys are in 4-H, and I teach quilting to 4-H kids in our county in Missouri. 4-H holds a special place in my heart, so when JoAnn Fabric & Craft Stores asked if I would make a quilt with their new 4-H fabrics, I shouted YES!!
Happy Pi Day!! Of course we're celebrating the big day! We are having circle foods for every meal - and pie of course! And I always make a Pi Day quilt! This is my sixth year of Slice of Pi Quilts, and this is my sixth Pi Day quilt!
Take a look back at all the Pi Day quilts I've made! 2017 , 2018 , 2019 , 2020 , and 2021
