Charleston, SC 🍍• Fabric and books and sometimes food • I love making things for people 💝
New yoga mat bag! I used the #starcrossedpillow pattern by @suzyquilts and added some washing to make it big enough for a large yoga mat. I also added the selvage I’ve been hoarding from #starryfabric because it just seemed too perfect. Will add to my little Etsy store soon! #yogamatbag

I’m hosting book club this month. We’re reading Broken Country. (Such a buzzy book right now!) It takes place on a farm in the English countryside. I had this fabric in my stash just waiting to be bookmarks! 😂 The front is Cottage Grove by @artgalleryfabrics & the back is All Is Well, also by AGF.

#Buttercupblossomquilt progress 🌼 (Pattern by @mary.stitches ) Sewing time has been so limited lately and my mental health is showing it 😆 Hoping to pick up the pace this weekend! #marystitchespatterns #endpaperfabric #rubystarsociety #quiltblock #quiltworkinprogress #sewcharleston

When I saw how amazing @stonesimplecreative #luckyminiquilt reading pillow turned out, I had to make one myself.🍀 @stonesimplecreative and @duenorthhandmade both recommended the Reading Pillow Tutorial by @polkadotchair and it was great! 🍀🍀🍀The Lucky Mini Quilt pattern releases May 1! 🍀🍀🍀

I get to test another pattern for @duenorthhandmade ❣️ Say hello to the #luckyminiquilt 🍀 I still have to add borders and figure out how to finish it, but I just couldn’t wait to share a sneak peak. Pattern releases May 1!

…and here’s the bonus pattern that comes with the Getaway Quilt pattern! I LOVE that there is such low waste and this pillow took 10 minutes to piece together. 🫶🏼 True love! #getawayquilt by @loandbeholdstitchery

Happy 5️⃣0️⃣ to my husband! When I saw the #getawayquilt by @loandbeholdstitchery I knew it would be perfect for him. Clean lines and a modern design using #purdueuniversity colors—it was a joy to make. I used @redrainbootshandmade tip for the backing—a flannel sheet that made it extra soft & cozy.

There were so many parallels to my own life in this memoir—geography, life experiences, our age. The “other” Maggie Smith writes about marriage, motherhood, divorce, and finding herself with candor and wisdom. @maggiesmithpoet This quilt block is March’s #booksyblockproject 3, Bear Paw.

Started a #buttercupblossomquilt by @mary.stitches because I meeded to touch pretty fabric and I’ve been obsessed with this pattern for awhile. #sewingismytherapy #marystitchespatterns #endpaperfabric #rubystarsociety #buttercupblossomquilt #quiltblock #workinprogress #sewcharleston

Happy release day, #loonyquilt by @duenorthhandmade !! This is such a fantastic pattern and it sews up really quickly. I love the other tester versions, and I can’t wait to make a larger one. {This baby quilt is going to @buffaloflattsquiltco to get quilted—can’t wait to see it when it’s done.}

Making this crib-size #loonyquilt brought me so much joy during the last couple of weeks. Now, to choose a backing… (The Loony Quilt pattern is coming soon from @duenorthhandmade ) @wattsalot #quiltprogress #quiltpatterntester #babyquilt #teddyandthebearsfabric #rubystarsociety #sewcharleston

This was a fun change of pace—a South Carolina pickleball paddle case! I used the Wardle Quilted Pickleball Paddle Case pattern by @stuff.sydney.sews I love that it has a shoulder strap. I decided to use flexible foam so it had a bit more structure.

Here is the first block of the #loonyquilt that I’m testing for @duenorthhandmade 🩵💙 I’m loving this pattern. The cutting is super straightforward and the blocks come together quickly! My baby quilt plan is inspired by @wattsalot #teddyandthebears for @rubystarsociety

The February #booksyblockproject (hosted by @ritualquiltcompany ) block: #16patchcheckerboard . Block 4 is inspired by We Could Be Rats, an epistolary novel that deals with some big issues from the viewpoints of two sisters. It was touching, heartbreaking and in the end, hopeful.

I get to be a quilt pattern tester! Eek! 🤸🏻‍♀️ The pattern is #loonyquilt by @duenorthhandmade . Here is my pull. I’m hoping to make the coolest baby quilt ever using mostly Teddy & The Bears with some new Speckled sprinkled in. 🎸🐻🩷🩵🩶 #quiltpatterntester #rubystarsociety

This is for February’s Queen Bee of #luckythirteenbee , @smalltimequilter 💗 Ashley requested a pink, scrappy #fppbearpawquiltblock (pattern by @quiltwithkate ) with a low volume background. I’ve always loved this block and was so happy to finally make one! Hope Ashley loves it! #queenbee #quiltbee
