Hey Bloggie Friends, I have a new blog! Yay! I’m so excited! For better or worse, I will still “dream of quilts” :-), but, I will no longer blog at www.idreamofquilts.wordpress.com. Frankly, when I put up my blog at the end of last year, I knew I Dream of Quilts wasn’t the perfect name for me but, sometimes you just …
The Madelyn: A Girly Modern Baby Quilt Gift Set
So, I just completed a quilt gift set for a coworker. He and his wife were the first friends that I had in the last couple years that have had a baby girl. I love baby gifts and I love little boys but, it’s just something about being able to create a truly girly baby gift. So, I saw the …
Boardwalk Quilt & More Coming Soon. . .
I know it’s been awhile since I’ve posted. It’s been a lot going on in my world, which of course is no excuse. BUT, if it’s any consolation, I have some really exciting things coming up here soon. Look for the first post on the 5th of April (So, it looks like we’ll be launching sometime in May. Stay posted!). …
Wonky Circles and Echino. . .
(If you’re looking for the Giveaway post click here.) So, I’ve been thinking about this quilt for awhile and I finally got started on it. I bought an Echino panel from The Urban Craft Center in Santa Monica and I wanted to highlight the panel when I used it. So I decided not to cut the panel and to create …
Squeezing in a little quilting!
So, it’s been a busy last couple of weeks and disappointingly I haven’t been able to work on my quilts much. As a result – I haven’t been able to blog at all. 🙁 First it was a week long trip to San Francisco for work. Then it was Thanksgiving and a 3-day weekend cruise to Mexico. While I enjoyed …
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 …
Strawberry Disco Fields
So, I bought this fabric over a year ago. A friend was having a baby girl and I wanted to make her something. That was before my quilting days where I usually just made blankets with a minky backing, bibs, burps, and a ball.Very cute, but, not a quilt. So, when I started quilting earlier this year – I quickly …
Falling in love with solids. . .
So, I found out my college friend Tommie was getting married to his long time girlfriend – just a month before it was supposed to happen! I knew I had to make a quilt for them. (I really just need an excuse to justify making another quilt. But, shhhhhh, don’t tell anyone!) Anyhow, for some reason I got it into …

I’m so excited to finally blog about quilting and other craft things, though admittedly I’m a little hesitant to start. There are so many delicious amazng blogs out there and I feel like I’m a bit behind and will have to play catch up. BUT, on the other hand I’m soooooo excited to dive in and share a little peek …
