3-D Sewing: Sail Bags!

Ever since visiting a shop in Annapolis, Maryland that sold tote bags made from sailboat sails, I've wanted to try making one myself! I loved the idea of using something old to make something new!

My husband and I recently bought a sailboat to use on our local lake, and we joined the sailing club too. It didn't take long for word to get out that I knew how to sew! Some of our new friends gave me this old and broken sail to use to sew some tote bags!

A Logo Quilt for the Craft Industry Alliance

I have been a member of the Craft Industry Alliance since 2017 - just after starting my business. The membership has been so valuable to me, and I continually am impressed with their contributions to the crafts industry. 

Earlier this year, Abby Glassenberg, one of the founders of Craft Industry Alliance, asked if I could make a logo quilt for their H+H Americas booth after seeing the logo quilt I had made a few years ago for my own business (see that one HERE!). Of course I agreed!!

A Crayon Quilt!

Sometimes I get to work with cool people and make cool things, and this is definitely one of those times! Riley Blake Designs sent me all the fabric to make this Crayola quilt!

Party in the BACK!

Shout it from the rooftops! My friend, Kelly of My Quilt Infatuation, has a new book that just released this week!! And this time, it's all about the BACK of the quilt!

It's time for the county fair!

Did you learn how to sew in 4-H? I did, and I'm paying that forward by teaching kids in my county how to make quilts in 4-H! 

Twist & Turn

I have such a fun thing to share with you today!! My quilty friend, Cinzia White, has just released a new book! Cinzia is the author of many quilt books, and her newest one is a stunner! (Here is a blog post about one of her previous books too!)

Summer Twilight Hydra Pillow

The Summer Twilight collection is a new batik collection from Island Batik by my designer friend, Tammy of Tamarinis! It's a mix of rich blues, purples, and pinks. I've been wanting to make a pillow from my Hydra quilt pattern for quite awhile, so I jumped at the chance when Tammy sent me some of the fabric to play with!
