I sorta have a crush on everything that Sarah Jane does. Everything. And, when she had her first line of fabric, I wanted every SKU of it. It is filled with true multicultural children, not just children with different complexions. And these kids all live in a magical world of individuality and whimsy. Love it. This quilt was made with …
The White Stripes Quilt
This quilt is definitely in the “quilts I haven’t blogged about” category. At my last job my co-worker Jean and his wife had a baby boy. Not knowing the mom and wanting to create a quilt that was simple and classic I decided on stripes. Not finding the stripes that I wanted, I decided to make my own stripes. White …
Animal Parade Blanket & Softie Set
Yesterday I shared the Zoom Baby Blanket and Book that I made for one cousin that had a little boy. Well, her sister had a baby boy within a few months so I had to make a similar gift for her as well. This time, I pulled my Ed Emberley fabric out. I LOVE the elephant print and that was …
Zoom Blanket & Book Set
I have two cousins who are sisters who had baby boys within months of each other.

I had to make the gifts different …
Shhh. . . Baby Quilt and Ball
OK. This will be one of the many quilts that I’ll be posting about that I’ve made in the last year or so. This one was a quickie. Well, sorta. Last year the LA Modern Quilt Guild was lucky enough to host Elizabeth Hartman of the blog Oh, Fransson! I don’t take many classes but, wanted to take one with …
Kite Tails Quilt
Many of you saw glimpses of this quilt in the tutorial on the Modern Quilt Guild blog but, it wasn’t quilted yet and I literally just showed a peek of it in the tutorial. It’s a very simple quilt using HRT’s that makes for a quick baby quilt. I love the color combination of the coral-ly reds, pink, citron and …
Merge Quilt and just what is a HRT?
This week we’re going to look at a fun little tutorial that I wrote up on the Modern Quilt Guild blog for making HRT’s. What is an HRT? Well, if a Half Square Triangle is an HST shouldn’t a Half Rectangle Triangle be a HRT? Plus, Half Rectangle Triangles is just too many syllables so we’ll just call it the …
CC Baby Quilt Set, Part 2
Since Katie, Cici’s mom, is an active member of the Los Angeles Modern Quilt Guild I figured she would get lots of quilts for little Cici so I wanted to make her something more than just a quilt. I hadn’t sewed garments in a LONG time so I wanted to do this and I wanted it to coordinate with the …
