After WAY too long – the Molehills Quilt pattern is now available to purchase for download and will soon be available in print. I had a wonderful time teaching this pattern. First at Sewtopia in Chicago and then again at Sew Modern in Los Angeles. With all the experience teaching it I was able to refine and expand the pattern …
Former QuiltCon Juror Tells All
First, I have to say I LOVE the salacious title of my blog post! Hey, I’m from LA. I can do that. Mostly this will be an education on how a juried quilt show works. I do feel that I need to start this out saying that this is in no way endorsed by the Modern Quilt Guild, the organization …

The Big ‘O’ Quilt, Part II
Here’s a quilt that I’ve never blogged about. I blogged about The Big ‘O’ Quilt a few months ago. This is the second quilt in the ‘O’ Series, The Big ‘O’, Part II. Like The Big ‘O’ this quilt uses the Bias Tape Appliqué technique but only on the right half of the quilt. The other half uses Dale Fleming’s …
Sewtopia Chicago? Here I Come!
I was so happy when the Sewtopia crew invited me to teach at the second Sewtopia event happening April 16, 2015. Then I found out the other teacher was Rita from Red Pepper Quilts. Then I found out it was going to be in Chicago! Then I found out it was going to be at The Drake hotel. This will …
Spicy Sticks – A Quilt for Mom
Do you sometimes make a quilt that is not 100% your style or colors? I do for those I love. My sister decorated my Mom’s living space around colors inspired from a mirror that Mom fell in love with from Pier One. I wanted to make a quick quilt that would coordinate with this already colorful living room. Here’s the …
Play Around the World Quilt
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 …
Polka Dot Fox Quilt
A very dear friend is having a baby boy soon. She loves red polka dots. And browns. And polka dots in general. And twice I heard her say she loved the Fox and the Houndstooth fabric. And, I needed to make a full quilt sample for my May Block of the Month, Muffin Tops, that I’m teaching at Sew Modern. …
Seeing Red Quilt & Matching Doll Quilts
Three facts: I started this quilt long, long ago on the first ever LA Modern Quilt Guild retreat. I promised it to a friend shortly thereafter. I’m very bad at finishing and gifting quilts. Very bad. This quilt was my first time working on the technique for Half Rectangle Triangles (HRT’s) that I wrote up for the Modern Quilt Guild …
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 …
