Yes! It's time for AQS Quilt Week in Daytona Beach! While I am not going to be able to be there the entire week as I had originally planned, I will be there on Saturday, February 24th. I plan on seeing all the quilts, walking through all the booths, and…
I've been accused before of only liking Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP). It made me think about it, I do find that I like more modern quilts. Most of the modern patterns, especially ones that to me seem fun and unique are made with the FPP technique. I have made a…
I've had a love hate relationship with basting since the moment I started quilting. I know I'm not the only one who doesn't like to baste a quilt top! Since I taught myself to quilt through YouTube and reading books, I honestly didn't know enough about basting at first. I'm…
This week has been a bit crazy for me. I've been learning how to use template plastic for the first time, and trying a new to me basting technique. We also had a 12 hour EEG scheduled for my son, that turned into a 7 hour EEG. We won't even…

I know I am late to the game, everyone has tried to make a new sew quilted Christmas ornament... except me!! Here's my first attempt at them and a few tips I found helpful along the way. I have been wanting to make holiday ornaments, but I have a huge…
How is it December already!? I know this is cliche, but this year definitely feels like it flew by. I had a whole bunch of blogs planned for before December with ornaments/holiday items. And then life got in the way, as it usually does! So this week, I'm sharing my…
