My favorite part about quilting is the fabrics. I love the fabrics. The patterns, textures, and colors are beautiful, and when you combine them into a patchwork quilt, everything gets better.

Completely finishing a quilt is taking longer and longer for me. Hand quilting definitely slows down the process, but the flowers in my yard, precious children growing out of nap times, and too many books to read these days are also willingly taking up my quilting time.

If you’re new to quilting, experienced, or if you’re looking to use up 2 1/2 inch wide scraps, I think this is a great block.

Many mysteries of life have been solved now. Up until a week ago, clothes have been a mystery to me. I’ve sewn squares and triangles together for the last ten years of my life, but I’ve never sewn curves and hems.

Adding pillows to my shop is few and far between right now, but there are two new ones in there. I fell for the florals on this one.

This fabric is so fun. Everything about it is colorful and cheerful and definitely Brady Bunch inspired. The green gingham in here makes me think of Alice.

So now that I’ve revealed all my tip top business strategies above, I’ll leave you with a bit of triangle pillow inspiration.

I have no regrets having a bit of Heather Ross’ 20th Anniversary Line sitting on my fabric shelves. Her whimsical pictures are so cheerful. The violet strawberries are my favorite, but the pink apples are a very close second. They are all listed in my Etsy Shop.
