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 …
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. …
“Gossip Girls” at the LA County Fair
I thought it would be fun to see some modern quilts at the LA County Fair, so I thought I’d enter one. It’s not really a show quilt BUT, it is definitely different than any other quilts at the fair. We usually go to either the LA or Orange County Fairs every year. My primary goal is usually to get …
CC Baby Quilt Set, Part 1
A dear friend of mines Katie had a beautiful baby girl, Cici in December of last year. This project was almost completed. But, it has taken me this long to finish it up and give it to her! 🙁 Life sometimes happens and before you know it months have blown by! But, it was made and given in love and …
A Little Something I’m Working On. . .
. . . that I think I really love! Now, to decide how to quilt it. . . any ideas?
Made By My Student. . .

Instead of the baby size quilt like the original Perfect Puddles, she decided that she wanted a lap quilt so we added borders to it, first framing the original quilt in the same fabric that the …
“Perfect Puddles” Modern Circle Sampler Quilt
Guess what mom? I’m a teacher now! I’m teaching my “Perfect Puddles” Modern Circle Sampler Quilt at Sew Modern in Los Angeles. My mother always said that I’d be a teacher – I just don’t think she thought I would teach quilting. 😉 So fun! We had our first session this past Saturday but, if you’re interested you can still …
Mini Quilts – Jagged Little Pill
This is a project that was finished last year – like six months ago – that I never posted! It was made for the LAMQG Mini Quilt Swap. It was a random swap so everyone that brought a mini quilt pulled a wrapped package from the table. My little quilt was pulled by Kelli and guess who’s quilt I pulled? …
“Huckleberry” Modern Baby Quilt
Does anyone else have this problem? You make a quilt as a gift for a friend or family member and then fall in love with it SO much that it is almost painful to give away? Well, this was my experience with the Huckleberry Modern Baby Quilt. Luckily I was strong and was able to give it to it’s intended …
Two Perfect Things. . .
There are two things that I think are perfect. Picnics. And, circles. Picnics are romantic for two and awesome for many. It’s just you and those that you love sitting close to each other and nature eating yummy food (picnics make all food yummy) having nothing better to do than connect with each other. What can be more perfect than …
