As you’re reading this, assuming that you are reading this soon after being published, I’m probably feeling a bit jet lagged, and exploring Solvang and/or on the way back home from a day driving up the Californian coast and at Solvang. Either way, I am most definitely having fun and loving the LA “winter”, and documenting it on Instagram when… Read More
Tomorrow night I’m jetting off to Los Angeles for QuiltCon 2016, and I am super excited! I will be spending the next few days with Janice from Better Off Thread, and then go together to QuiltCon. I’m excited at the prospect of LA’s version of “winter”, to get to hang out with quilty peeps, to go shopping in stores that… Read More
OOPS! I totally forgot to do a special theme for last week!! Let’s do it this week instead… As for me and this past week, I’ve been caring for a sick little boy for a couple of days last week, and also been busy prepping for leaving for QuiltCon on Saturday (whaaat?!

Earlier this week, I shared about the quilts and my general time at the 2016 Tokyo International Quilt Festival, and now it’s time to talk about what I bought! Yes, in case you were confused, I did just destash half my stash ahead of moving overseas… I’m mostly stocking up now on some bits and pieces that are much more… Read More
It’s such a corny cliche to say, but when you’re a quilt designer, seeing all the different interpretations and ways people make your patterns is SUCH a thrill. Seriously, it is! So on the last Friday of each month, I want to take the time to share what YOU guys have been creating using my tutorials or patterns. I’ll be… Read More
