Olivia’s Baskets

I am so excited to finally share this pattern with you!  It has been a long and exciting process to release my very first pattern, but it is at the printers as we speak and will be arriving very shortly. However, I didn't leave you hanging - the PDF version of this pattern will be available during my Cyber Monday special!  You will also receive 20% off in my shop using the code CYBERMONDAY.   My Olivia's Baskets pattern is being released just before the arrival of my 2nd niece, Olivia.  My oldest sister is due with her first baby in just over a week! Yippee! I crafted these sweet fabric baskets for her nursery.  They are made with Soft and Stable, which offers a perfect construction, and, most importantly, a design that's safe for babies. The baskets on the cover feature Lella Boutique's fabulous new line, Sugar Pie, that will be available in...

Many of you may be fans of Annie, and follow her blog, and Facebook.  You are probably aware of our deep love for sweet little girl named Emma Grace.  If you haven't heard about Emma Grace yet please let me tell you about her.  Emma Grace is the sweet daughter of a dear friend of mine, Shelly.  Shelly's mother Kathleen Starr of Starr Fabrics, has been a long time friend of Annie. They often team up and help each-other at Quilt Shows all across the country.  I met Kathleen while I worked the rounds on the Quilt Show with the ByAnnie team.  Shelly and her girls often accompanied there mom, and grandma and helped at the shows as well! We have become great friends. So you can believe that we were so sad to hear about the diagnosis of sweet Emma Grace.  This was taken from the GOFUNDME page...

Design Yourself

So I started another semester of college this week.  It's been a couple years since I've been in school, so it's definitely been an adventure. My first assignment was to create a collage that tells about "Who you are."  Which I actually kind of dislike, I don't believe that what we do, or what we are interested  in really make up "who we are."  I believe we are much more than the things that happen to us, or the activities we do each day.  Regardless.  I did manage to figure out how to incorporate some sewing and fabric into my project. I wanted to make a small quilt block to show my passion for creating, sewing, quilting... etc.  So I found one of my mini quilt patterns.  This one happens to be Rise and Shine by Camille Roskelley. I just made one of the quilt blocks instead of the...

Goody Goody Binding Kit

I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to meet Vanessa while attending quilt market in Pittsburgh last year! She is adorable, and I'm grateful that we have become friends!  I am excited to share with you today this sweet little binding kit that she has posted a tutorial for on her blog! The instructions were fabulous and very easy to follow!  My fabric pick came from a few different lines. I mixed a a few Moda prints with some lovely Gooseberry fabric, which Vanessa designed and will be shipping to stores in October!  I was so excited when Vanessa asked me before Market to make her a bag for her booth!  I made this Carry-On Travel bag.  It is one of Annie's patterns!  It just so happens, that I had just enough quilted fabric left over to make my Goody Goody Binding Kit!  So the first thing I did a...

Tula Pink: ELIZABETH

At Houston Market in 2014 I attended Tula Pink's (don't know who Tula Pink is?  Read her about me) School House presentation of her fabric line ELIZABETH.  Her presentation was incredible.  I was so inspired and I knew that I would be making a quilt out of that line. If you want to hear about the line check out this fun podcast from Modern Sewciety Tula shares very similar thoughts about the inspiration behind the design and other very exciting news in her world. Lucky for me my favorite local quilt shop ordered the line in. I saw this quilt at Market in Tula's Booth... SO that is where I began. The quilt pattern is called Victory Garden by Busy Bee Designs.  Tula made other adaptions to the pattern to make it look true to the Union Jack flag.  I stuck to the pattern as closely as I could, although there are a couple minor changes:            ...
