On January 26, 2020, I sewed the last stitch on this quilt. This is the first large quilt I have entirely hand quilted, and I actually finished it friends. I have no regrets, and I’ve enjoyed so many moments slowly stitching away. You can’t be in a hurry when you decide to hand quilt a huge quilt.

Many times when I purchase new fabrics, I have projects in mind, but the fabrics must wait in line until its turn. (Sometimes the fabrics must wait years. 🙂 )

This was an accomplishment for me. I had entirely forgotten just how dramatically large a king size quilt was. This one is approximately 110 by 108 inches. For almost two weeks, my life was consumed my sewing up this king size quilt. My quilts are usually gradual, but I had pushed my timeline down to… Read More

It’s only a baby quilt, but this is the first quilt I’ve entirely hand quilted, and it’s finished! (This one is a close second to being all finished!) This quilt started because Elizabeth from Quilter’s… Read More
I take a handful of custom orders each year. I have to turn down a good amount of requests, but when a loyal and repeat customer asks for another quilt, I gladly reply with a yes! This quilt was yet another joy to make! I’ve talked a bit about the pros and cons of taking… Read More
