I’m so excited to share my newest quilt pattern with you, Gem Blossom. This design has been in the works for quite some time! It was one of the very first patterns I drafted in November 2023 (2 years ago!) when I challenged myself to start writing quilt patterns, so it feels extra special to…
Hey there, welcome back to another Moda Blockheads 6 share day! I have a lot of blocks to show you today. I fell a bit behind on my blocks because I was working on some other quilt projects (which I’ll share more about here next week!), but I managed to catch up and finished blocks…
I’m excited to share a new project I’ll be working on with you! Have you heard that American Patchwork & Quilting magazine is hosting a Block of the Month beginning in October 2025 and running through August 2026. I’ll be sewing along and sharing my progress here on the blog. To make it extra fun,…
I’m getting ready to head off to a quilt retreat next week, and one of the first things I packed was my zipper pouch filled with all my essentials. To make sure I didn’t forget anything, I even created a quilt retreat packing list, it helps me stay organized and makes packing much less stressful….
It’s another Moda Blockheads 6 share day! Today I’m back with my finished Blocks 15, 16, and 17 – Petal Pusher, Cloud Nine, and Ninth Wonder. Block 15 – Petal Pusher For Petal Pusher, I went with the foundation paper piecing method. It gave me such crisp points and neat seams. If you’re new to…
It’s Moda Blockheads 6 share day. How are your blocks coming along? I’m having a ton of fun with mine and I’m all caught up on blocks 12-14. In my last Blockheads update, I mentioned that my quilt was starting to feel a little busy and that maybe I should add some solids. Well, I…
I’m back to share my ninth, tenth, and eleventh blocks for Moda Blockheads 6 — Polaris, What a Lark, and Folk Star. Things are definitely getting busy (you can see my “messy middle” in the picture below 🙂 ), and I’m starting to see why Moda uses solids in their sampler quilt blocks. It’s time…

Welcome back! Today I’m sharing my seventh and eighth blocks for Moda Blockheads 6 – Bellissimo Star and Sandcastle. Sandcastle Quilt Block The Sandcastle block (Block 8) was designed by Sherri McConnell of A Quilting Life. I follow Sherri on YouTube and always enjoy hearing about what she’s working on—whether it’s quilting, designing fabric, or…
Cutting fabric can be one of the most time-consuming parts of quilting, especially when you’re making a project like my Patches & Squares quilt that starts with lots of strip sets. If you’re looking for a way to cut faster and more accurately, I’ve got a tool to recommend: a strip cutting ruler. I used…
I’m back with another update on my Bible Sampler Quilt! It’s been three weeks since I kicked off this project, and so far, I’ve finished 19 of the 96 blocks needed to make a queen size quilt. I’m thinking I’ll probably make a few extra blocks and go for a king-size version, so there’s still…
Today I’m sharing my sixth block for Moda Blockheads 6, the Moonbeam block! I loved making this one, especially because I was able to turn the leftover triangles from the stitch-and-flip corners into two bonus star blocks. I’m planning to turn them into a zipper pouch, but that little project is still on my list…
