Did you know there's a new online quilt magazine, We Like Quilting? The January issue features my Tic Tac Toe pattern. I used P&B Textiles' Linen Darlings fabric in the quilt, resulting in a "cool and calm" look; it also looks great done in Stall...

I love this design. It was developed with Christmas/holiday fabric in mind, but I decided to make it in decidedly not Christmas fabric. Mardi Gras came to mind while making the quilt, so that's what I named it. One of my testers chose patriotic fabri...

If you're near Berea, Kentucky, I invite you to visit the Kentucky Artisan Center to see some of the quilts I've made. I just delivered several. One is Falling Leaves; the pattern is Southern Belle. If you'd like to make your own version of the desig...

August 2021 -- P&B Textiles is shipping their American Farm collection this month. I illustrated Hometown Crossing with fabrics from the collection. It looks great in patriotic-themed fabrics, but also in other fabrics, as shown here.

July 2021 -- I absolutely love this quilt! I gifted it to a special customer of mine. She commissioned me to make a quilt for each of her children as graduation gifts. I thought she needed a quilt of her own! Some quilters think a quilt will "tell" w...

July 4 -- Independence Day! In quilting terms, it brings to mind red, white and blue. And stars. That brought to mind Starburst, so I colored it in Connecting Threads' Hometown Americana. Quite patriotic, don't you think?

June 2021 -- I just added a new design, Braided Star, to my store. It looks great in patriotic fabrics, a good choice for that July 4th picnic quilt you're thinking about making. Or use batiks or colorful florals for a cheerful lap quilt/throw.
