I love the new Luxe Rabbit in Black from Shannon Fabrics. Yes, the in shop price is $39.99 per yard, (slightly more online to account for shipping and packaging) but this headband that I made used only 1/4 yard, and you can get 2 of them from 1/4 yard. Your cost per headband is $5. Yup. And, it feels like the real thing. If feels like real fur, and looks

Every year it seems I make these in some form or another. I have made them for weddings, for holidays and just to hang out on the porch in the summer. They’re so festive and they’ve been around for centuries. I love pennants. They just yell out “It’s a party”. I am making Christmas ones, and this time I am adding lettering. They say “Merry + Bright”. I used my

I get asked ALL the time to provide the link to this video. It’s one of the most useful videos that I have ever done and I am so happy to help out. I love to make throw pillows. They’re such a fast and easy way to add a new touch to a room that needs a pick me up, without breaking the bank, or taking much time. This pillow

My At the Lake Quilt is fun and easy to make. I would love to see this made up with prints too, not just solids. I will be getting to that soon…maybe not as soon as I would like. I am currently doing my projects for Quilt Market, but managed to squeeze this one in. Stripes just have a nautical look, so, once it’s done its job of hanging out

Have you ever felt not pretty? Well, physical looks are not important. It’s what is inside that counts. We know for a fact that this is true. But there are just days where you would like that little boost. There are days after you have had a baby and you just feel out of sorts. There are days where you’ve gained a few pounds and you don’t feel right. There

Okay, so a while back we introduced the Snippets Pearlescent Challenge. We had a lot of people come in and pick up the fabric but only a few people completed their quilts. Here’s one. I don’t want to tell who made what because I want to keep it impartial–for now. We are going to have impartial judges look at the quilts and decide which ones will win locally. I don’t

Have you seen the beautiful ombres by Studio e? They’re created differently than any other ombre. They have a more saturated and smoother transition from dark to light, so that the gradient is consistent. They’re fabulous. You will want to get your hands on them. They have a pearlized fleck throughout and are absolutely sensational. Let me show you a couple of the quilts that I have made with them.

We recently got this adorable pattern in the shop. As I was making it, I realized that sewing a zipper into a long napped Cuddle or plush fabric could be problematic. So, in order to assist the sewist in this endeavor I have created this video so that you can get some tips on the best way to do this.

I recently made a baby quilt for one of my employees. She will love it. She should get it today so I am not worried about her seeing this post. One might wonder how these circles are set in. They’re not appliqued! Make no mistake, they’re not difficult. Here’s how to do it.

This quilt is beyond fabulous. The best part about it is that it is made simply with squares. It made its debut in my book Rainbow Quilts for Scrap Lovers, (C&T Publishing) but has continued on in Spectacular Quilts for Scrap Lovers with more variations. The variations to this quilt are endless. Let me give you an example. Here is the original Blended Hexagon Quilt, hanging in the Public Television
