You’ve probably heard me say this before but I LOVE Sarah Jane and the magical inclusive world she creates through her art. Anytime I get to play with her fabric is a good day. I got the opportunity to make this quilt out of her new Lola Dutch fabric for Spring Quilt Market and I finally took it out for …

The Magic Pillow Facing Tutorial
You may hear me jokingly say I’m a lazy quilter but, I don’t ever believe in compromising quality and workmanship and I LOVE a professional finish when I sew. This means even on the insides of projects or in places that wont be seen often – like the inside of a pillow. I’ve serged seams, sewn full linings, put bias …
