Here's hoping that it doesn't take as long to get past the 260s posts. Those ten numbers in the 250s took much too long with all of the interruptions. For 261 I thought I'd show you what I've pinned lately. All quilts. All modern. All the time. "heart, quilts" is the place.

Welcome to the last installment in my scrap quilting series. In my first article I discussed turning your random scraps into valuable precuts leaving the tiny pieces left over as crumbs. If you haven’t seen it, be sure to check out my previous article: “What Am I Supposed To Do With All These Scraps?”. These

I realize that this is NOT a news flash, but I've been playing with scraps again. Ha! It's messy work, but someone has to do it! I made these banner blocks for the Minneapolis Modern Quilt Guild. The only requirements were to use brights and white fabrics and they needed to be 6.5" square. I had a lot of fun making them. This one is my favorite! It's a mini version of my bright birch trees quilt. The block is made up of 31 teeny tiny scraps....and one big white scrap. I love it so very much! I like this one, too, although not quite as much. It also uses 31 scraps...that must be the magic number or something. After making these teeny tiny ones, the pinwheel pieces felt absolutely huge! I could have kept going and made scrappy blocks all day long, but I kind of ran out of time. I'm counting these blocks as scrap project #58/101. These name tags are for some of my friends at the MMQG. (Can you tell that it's meeting night?) Also made from scraps. I love making these because they use small scraps of batting, too. There is never a shortage of those floating around the craft room. These are scrap project #59. This is an orphan block-turned-pot holder. Each square finishes at 1"! I used Insulbrite AND batting, so the quilting got a little bit funky....but it will just get used and stained...so, to quote my daughter, "it don't matter!" This is scrap project #60! Woo-hoo! And these are still waiting to be sewn up into something, someday! I wonder what they will become...
I stumbled upon this cool tutorial over at Sofie Legarth's blog . It's in Danish, so I endeavored to make an English version because I'm ...

I have to admit I have become a little obsessed with Liberty of London fabric. I have been getting a monthly bundle of Liberty from Ava & Neve and every time I get a new package I get excited …
This is one of those blocks that start with two squares. It can be made in different sizes though for this demo I’ve chosen a 10″ pre-cut also called layer cake. How to make 4 disappear…
Aleesa Kobi's beautiful new selvage quilt is called "On Edge." It measures 62" x 83." It was something of a family project as her mothe...

It occurs to me that I should start numbering these forays... except that when the number gets high, folks might start to wonder if I do anything else? Let's start with these Metropolis Lunch Boxes for months and months for the real-things to arrive. They come in a set of two - the larger box measures 8.5" x 6.625" x 3.5" and the smaller box measures 7.75" x 5" x 2.625". (I know, so many decimals.) . I'm a girl who loves boxes and bins for storage as they let me keep my "stuff" organized and a bit out of sight.
Good morning! This week's Summer Sampler 2019 block is all about partial seams! Partial seams are one of those techniques that sounds super scary and complicated, but they actually aren’t. Like at all! It's literally sewing a part of a seam, then coming back and finishing that seam lat
I will be playing with selvedges along with Quilty Habit and Quilts of a Feather. To start, they've asked us to show how we store our selvedges. Mine are all in this big lined basket in a jumbled mess. I'm in awe of the quilters who have their selvedges stored by color, folded neatly in ziplock baggies. Earlier this year, I made this selvedge log cabin wall hanging in response to the RIMQG log cabin challenge. I had a few extra blocks which became a giant pillow. My first selvedge project was this spiderweb wall hanging made in 2013. I had so much fun quilting this one! I will be teaching a class called "Salvaging your Selvedges" in September. This table runner is my class sample of a sampler table runner. I'm ready to play! Maybe I'll start by sorting my selvedges by color like the cool kids.

(Thanks Bell and Allison for holding my quilt and attending my workshop;) In a world where it seems everything has to be labelled ‘Modern’ or ‘Layered Preppie Bohemian’ (I actually read that this morning;), I bring you an ‘As Traditional As It Gets’ quilt. It is one of the first quilts I ever made. It’s prints...Read More »
