Two-By-Two Baby Quilts

Two-By-Two Baby Quilts

Two-by-Two quilts for my cousin’s two boys.

Pattern: Two-By-Two by It's Sew EmmaFabric: ABC XYZ Fat Quarter Bundle by Stacy Lest Hsu My cousin is expecting a baby boy in April, so I made these adorable "Fraternal" baby quilts — the second is for her two-year-old son. This pattern, Two-by-Two by It's Sew Emma, was so fun and quick to make, I'd love to make it again using scraps or fussy-cut novelty fabric. When I was browsing for fabric, I immediately fell in love with a fat quarter bundle called "ABC XYZ" by Stacy Lest Hsu for Moda Fabrics. The bundle came with thirty-two fat quarters which...

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 — 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 — 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...

As with most of my creative obsessions, I have a tendency to nerd out on the history; how a particular craft originated, how it evolved, and the individuals who shaped its development. Having recently fallen in love with quilting, I came across the Jane Stickle quilt, affectionately known as "Dear Jane" and my inner history buff rejoiced! When I discovered that the Bennington Museum in Vermont only showcases it from Labor Day Weekend to Indigenous People's Day, I checked the calendar and... wow! I had just about three weeks before it would be tucked away for the season. My husband...
