Modern quilt teacher and patterns
Today is the first, quarterly link up to share your progress for the Modern HST Sampler QAL. So to ease some concerns, I wanted to share with you how you can link up to an inLinkz linky party. And what is inLinkz? That’s the site I use to set up the linky. There’s a couple of different sites out there… Read More

On the last Friday of each month, I want to take the time to share what YOU guys have been creating using one of the many tutorials on Blossom Heart Quilts, or one of my patterns, and even my book too!

I also am a self-taught quilter, learning pretty much everything either from the internet (thank you, blogs!) or… Read More

You’d also think that with an international move in a couple of weeks that I’d have not gotten any while in the US last month… well, you’d… Read More
