The X Echo
I actually completed this block a week ago at a quilting retreat, but it’s been a busy week and I’ve been struggling to catch up on my blogging. So, I’ll […]
Blocks
The Not-So-Savage Beast
I’ve heard this block is a beast … but I took it on anyways. Once I’d finished using each fabric at least once, I was kind of at a loss for which […]
The Shiny New Tools
I’ve agreed to teach a half-day hand piecing class at my guild’s day camp in a couple of months. I’ve taught hand quilting before, and while that was somewhat nerve-wracking, […]
The Robot Rabbit
I’m not sure what this block pattern is supposed to be, but every time I look at it, I see a rabbit-shaped robot, so that’s what I’ve been calling it. […]

The Tribe
I always enjoy going to quilting retreat (except for that one disastrous day where I was trying to make my first triangle block), but this time I felt like I […]
The Placement Puzzle
Word has gotten around my quilt guild that I’m always looking for suitable fabric for this quilt, especially that light sage green color, which is so hard to find these days. […]
