This quilt is extra special. It’s made from the very first pattern I ever designed and sold! Last week, it found a new home, and I couldn’t be happier.

The pattern is called BoulderCreek, and it’s available in my Etsy shop. I love seeing all the beautiful versions you’ve created from it. Honestly, I was surprised it became my second best-selling pattern, especially since it features curves! However, everyone who’s made it has told me the curves were surprisingly approachable.

I might just have to make another one myself soon :)

When my friend .nichole.illustration mentioned she was looking for someone to create a quilt with her new fabric line Eventide, I jumped at the opportunity! She’s an incredibly talented surface pattern designer, and her work is absolutely stunning.

These are the beautiful fabrics from Eventide that I’m using in a brand-new quilt pattern—I can’t wait to show you how it turns out!

If you haven’t seen her work yet, I highly recommend checking it out. You won’t be disappointed!

Works in progress-Upland Star Quilt
This quilt top is from a pattern test that I did for .quilt.co.  It is called Upland Star.  Danielle is another amazing designer.  Her designs are big, and bold, and I love that.  This quilt top features two of my favorite colors:  hunter green and a sort of rusty gold. I have this in my works in progress pile.  When you test for other people and are doing your own projects as well, you end up with a lot of quilt tops. It takes time to get these prepped and quilted.  It is still fun to show though😊

Boulder Creek Quilt
This is my Boulder Creek quilt pattern, inspired by the way water flows over rocks in Boulder Creek, Colorado. I love how the design strikes a balance—it’s minimalistic, yet bold and impactful. 
The pattern works beautifully with almost any type of fabric. For inspiration and creative ideas, check out .

Today I wanted to show you a different kind of quilt. This was the first memory quilt that I made. I made this for my sister-in-law and her daughter. Memory quilts may be a lot of work, which I enjoy, but they are the most satisfying quilt to make. I love taking someone’s personal clothing items that just get stored in boxes and never looked at and turning them into an heirloom quilt that they can display. I treat each item with great care. I put a lot of thought into how to arrange and piece these items together. The finished quilt always amazes me. The best part of this process is handing the newly put together items over to the recipient. I love watching their face as they look over the quilt. I love watching them remembering when and where an item was worn or used. This was particularly special when I gave this to Cheryl. I could tell that the clothes held so many precious memories for her, and I was so happy to give that gift to her.

Hey all, happy Monday!  Today I am going back a few years to show you the Entropy quilt that I made.  I used to do a lot of quilt pattern testing for other designers.  This was a great experience.  I not only got meet a lot of talented designers and be a part of their process, but I also got to meet a lot of amazing quilters.  gave me my very first testing opportunity, and this quilt was made with the Entropy Quilt Pattern that she designed.  I loved making this.  The fabric choices are endless, this quilt literally will work with solids, blenders, prints, etc. You can get creative with the layout as well if you like.  Summer comes up with the most amazing quilt pattern designs, so I highly recommend that you go check out her page, especially if you would like to make one of your own.  If you just want one of your own, you are in luck, this one is for sale.  This quilt reminds me of Spring!

Hey all! I am still here:). The Dragonfly Quilt pattern that I designed is selling like hotcakes right now! Maybe because spring is upon us! It is my best selling pattern to date. I really love that people are liking this pattern with all of the curves. Honestly, it isn’t that scary. I have beginnings that have never sewn curves conquer it with ease.

New bag in the works!

23/01/2025

I have three handmade bags for sale in my shop! These bags are great to add a bit of modern flair to your everyday life! They are lightweight and very sturdy. They feature an outer snap pocket, zipper pocket with divided organizer, an interior slip pocket, and a magnetic snap closure. All are made with attention to detail and high quality fabrics and materials. I am working on adding a few more and have made a few custom bags as well.

My heart breaks for everyone affected by the fires in LA. They have left countless families devastated, with homes lost and communities deeply impacted. In an effort to support everyone who has been affected, from now until 1/16, all proceeds from quilt and pattern sales, excluding custom orders, will be donated to help those in need.

Let’s stand with LA and help rebuild lives and hope.
