This Girl is Headed to The Quilt Show
My first (and currently only) school house was at Market in fall 2016. I was excited about my presentation, and was sharing the time slot with John Kubiniec. John was speaking about his new book, A New Spin on Drunkard’s Path, and had made some quilts using Alex Anderson’s new line of fabric being releasedContinue reading “This Girl is Headed to The Quilt Show”
Matching a Fussy Cut Print
I wrote an entire book on precision piecing so it should come as no surprise to anyone that I love fussy cutting and matching prints. It’s been my experience that quilters either love it or hate it. Regardless of your preference, I’m a fan, and think it adds great interest to quilts and blocks. IContinue reading “Matching a Fussy Cut Print”
Mimi’s Modern Flower Garden
As usual, I started this with just a concept in my head. For the most part it worked. Until I got to the borders. Then it got tricky. And that’s saying something since the borders are just kinda borders, right? Well, now they are. If I actually sat down and drew out a plan (eitherContinue reading “Mimi’s Modern Flower Garden”

Piecing Makeover
My book arrived last week. Friday to be exact, yet it took me a day to open the package. I’m not quite sure why. Maybe it was because it meant the exciting chapter of writing a book was over. Maybe I was a little scared. I know I was anxious about seeing it, which isContinue reading “Piecing Makeover”
Pointed
Every so often I make a quilt that requires me to sew points at a bulky intersection. Over the years I have tried different things but find my best tip is to use pins. It seems counterintuitive, right? The pins will shift your points when you go through all the layers of fabric. Or willContinue reading “Pointed”
