Packing my Rifle Paper Suitcases!

As soon as I learned that Rifle Paper Co. had released a travel-themed fabric collection, I immediately went to their website and ordered a fat quarter bundle! I knew it would be perfect for making a Suitcases quilt! 

DIY Fabric Mouse Pad Tutorial

This project has been on my want-to-make list for quite awhile! I had an old mouse pad that was still in great shape, but it had an outdated calendar on it. I wondered if I would be able to recover it with fabric, so an experiment was born!

A WOOD Exploding Heart Quilt!

Sometimes, I get a hare-brained idea and just can't stop thinking about it. This was one of those ideas, and I'm SO excited to share the finish with you!! It's a WOOD version of my Exploding Heart quilt!!

Suitcases - A New Quilt Pattern!

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!

Bloom & Grow - Sisterhood BOM Quilt

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!

An All PINK Exploding Heart Quilt!

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.

Where the Buffalo Roam

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??
