I was lucky enough to get chosen to test this amazing new pattern by Whaling City Quilt co, called Fission! It always amazed me how quilt designers find new ways to use the HST. Geese! It’s really just four huge blocks put together, that make an amazing design. See what I mean? There is a…
So I bought 12 yards of this purple fabric, yep 12 yards. Why 12 yards? Well you see, I bought 4 yards of the same fabric 3 times. My only excuse is there was wine involved with internet shopping. FYI this fabric is called “vivid violet” by Bella Solids. My goal for the year is…
Did you know I am a pattern tester? Yep, I test at least six patterns a year, and let me tell you not all patterns are created equal 🙂 I was so excited when Ashley from Whaling City Quilt Co selected me to test her new pattern Jagged Edge! I knew I wanted to make…

My new scrappy quilt obsession. The X and + Quilt Block could be one of the easiest ways to use up your left over fabric. You really don’t need to put to much thought in to the fabric choices of this block. Just make sure the background is lighter than the X and the +,…
I had found this colorful fabric in my stash that I got from a yard sale several years ago. For some reason, I now felt that I needed to make something out of it now. No idea what I wanted to make, I started with 6.5 inch half square triangles. This is my go-to block…
Vivilux has created a 3 in 1 laser that can be attached to any sewing machine with magnets or velcro. The laser is cordless and is re-chargeable meaning no batteries needed. Right now the Fat Quarter Shop has this laser on sale for $54. At first, I thought that was a little pricy until I…
