On my agenda today: quilting more stripes on my Positive Vibes quilt. I’m stitching straight lines on either side of the painter’s tape following each row of colorful blocks. What are *you* working on?

Can you believe this is quilted with straight lines? It’s all about the wiggle! Come learn how quilt this + tips for quilting it on a big quilt at Mid Atlantic Quilt Festival in Virginia in Feb. I can’t wait!!

Working my way through the orange scraps today. Half the fun is sorting through them!

Who likes making bags or other 3D items in addition to #quilts??

These are a few cute pieces from By Annie made with my Dazzle Dots #fabric

What do you do with *your* scraps?

I #sew mine into fat quarter sized improv color blocks.

This start of a new project I’ll work on in between other deadlines. I have a vision for it that I’m excited to execute: I love #improvpiecing because the joy is in the journey!

I love that I can hire my college kids to help me with quilt photography & video filming! They’ve helped me out in between college breaks to help earn their way 😎

This is all part of my year of #machinequiting coming up in January!!

Here’s my other #quiltconreject - a mini size version of my Modern x quilt. I’m never upset when my #quilts don’t get in. I love having a goal to shoot for and it’s super fun to explore ideas I want to make!

Get the pdf to make the full size version here:

#QuiltCon reject notices have gone out. I entered the back side of my Swanky Spirals quilt so I’m not surprised it didn’t get in. But it was fun to play!!

Closeup of the #machinequilting on my Fancy Gifts #quilt. I stitched meandering loops with boxes, ribbons and bows to mimic the pieced design. ❤️

I have a limited number of kits on my website 😎

My absolute favorite thing to do in the #quilting industry is to lecture and teach others my easy peasy #machinequilting techniques. I love seeing that spark of joy they feel when they realize they can do it!!! ❤️❤️

Latest #quilt finish called Colorful Chaos. I made this one specifically as an experiment to try out different techniques. I may enter it into some upcoming quilt shows so we will see what kind of reception it gets there.

It’s made from leftover scraps of all 9 #fabric collections I’ve designed 😎
