A Quick and Easy Holiday Gift: Thimble Blossoms’ Merry Stockings Quilting Pattern

Quilted Christmas stockings with the ‘Merry Stockings’ pattern and “Reading Nook” Ruby Star Society fabric for handmade holiday magic!

When it comes to love languages, mine is gift-giving β€” especially the handmade kind. However, as much as I'd love to knit a sweater for every friend and their dog, time's not exactly on my side. Cue Thimble Blossoms Merry Stockings Quilting Pattern! I took a break from my current works in progress to create these fun (and incredibly quick!) Christmas stockings for knitting friends.

WIP: Tula Nova EPP Quilt

WIP: Tula Nova EPP Quilt

I’m falling in love with English Paper Piecing all over again!

Remember my post about visiting the Jane Stickle Quilt at the Bennington Museum in Vermont? It was so beautiful, that I felt inspired to make my own "Dear Jane" quilt (despite its infamous tagline "The quilt most often started, least often finished"). At the time, I thought, "Challenge accepted!" Well, after letting the idea percolate and making a practice block, I have to confess – I got cold feet. 😬 Making that practice block was a little preview of the mountain I'd have to climb β€” which, to be fair, isn't all that scary. Let's just say it would involve...
Tula Pink Wonky Star Quilt

Tula Pink Wonky Star Quilt

I made a quilt for my niece following Kate of The Last Homely House’s Wonky Star Quilt tutorial.

My Tula Pink fabric obsession continues! This time following Kate of The Last Homely House's Wonky Star Quilt tutorial. Talk about a fun, fast, and easy project! I'll definitely be making more versions. I made this one for my niece, Jules using Tula Pink fabric. The prints are ridiculously fun with friendly snakes, raccoons in trash cans, dandelion hedgehogs, and hot pink squirrels β€”Β can you even?! While working on the top, I couldn't help thinking how much she might like it since she's into nature, animals, and bright colors. So, at a recent family event, I showed her some photos...
Bionic Gear Bag

Bionic Gear Bag

The ultimate travel project bag for my English Paper Piecing supplies!

I needed a project bag to store my EPP (English Paper Piecing) projects, tools, and notions. After a quick Google search, I stumbled on the Bionic Gear Bag β€” a PDF sewing pattern byΒ @ripstitcher. You can purchase and download via Etsy. Now, let's get real about the making process. This pattern was no walk in the park. I've sewn my fair share of project bags, but none have tested my sewing skills and patience like this one. I got very friendly with my seam ripper, and I'll admit, if you look too closely, my craftsmanship is pretty janky! Alas, sometimes...
