ribbon candy-esque christmas quilt

Posted on December 4, 2022January 22, 2023by sarah

a few months back (i think?), i was scrolling around on the internets, when i happened upon the christmas in the city fabric collection by art gallery fabrics. i was in love. the vintage vibes. the colors. all of it. and i ordered it immediately with no real plan for what to make with it. […]

ghost party quilt.

Posted on October 22, 2022January 20, 2023by sarah

after making the ghost town quilt two years ago, and a spooky scrappy economy block quilt last year, i really had no plans to make another halloween quilt this year. then i saw woolly petals ghost party quilt and i quickly abandoned said lack of plans and pulled out my stupidly large halloween fabric stash […]

autumn themed mom and pop quilt.

Posted on September 28, 2022January 19, 2023by sarah

as with all other aspects of my life, i really hit a big wall with quilting last summer. i had no inspiration. no motivation. i was just blah. (it’s january as i type this and i’m still in the same boat). anyways. to try to jumpstart my quilty-life, i strolled into sewingly yours for ideas. […]

mom and pop for the bride and groom.

Posted on August 27, 2022August 31, 2022by sarah

this summer, my baby brother tied the knot with his lovely fiancee and mother to the world’s cutest nephew. despite having plenty of notice, i ended up procrastinating the making of a quilt as a gift for them. as the date grew closer, i waffled with indecision about the fabric and pattern choices. erika has […]

some quilty decor for my stupid walls.

Posted on July 31, 2022August 23, 2022by sarah

you may or may not know two things:1. i hate my stupid house and i have been hesitant to even bother decorating it because it’s so stupid and ugly.2. i have been slowly churning through a series of paper pieced national park blocks, with no real plan for a finished project. i have already blogged […]

ruby star scrappy sunshowers quilt

Posted on June 12, 2022June 20, 2022by sarah

i haven’t really had much sewing motivation lately. between trying to make a go of caking, end of year school stuff, and constant sicknesses, i just haven’t gotten around to it. then one day, an old friend called to ask me about making a chemo quilt for the daughter in law of a mutual friend […]

recent paper piecing adventures.

Posted on April 10, 2022April 10, 2022by sarah

after making several big quilts in a row (halloween economy block, scrappy christmas tree, gnomes, amh flying geese, and stay gold bear paw), i needed a little break. it was time to work on something smaller, more intricate, cheaper, etc, so i started the search for a new paper piecing pattern. lo and behold, i […]

stay gold, bear paw quilt, stay gold.

Posted on February 6, 2022February 11, 2022by sarah

i very rarely purchase entire fat quarter bundles of a fabric collection, but when photos of ruby star society’s new “stay gold” collection by melody miller starting popping up on my radar, i knew i had to have it all. within minutes, i had found an online shop with fat quarter bundles in stock, and […]

Posted on February 4, 2022February 11, 2022by sarah

with the completion of my cathedral windows pillow, i had some anna maria horner themed mojo going, so i quickly moved into the making of my next addition to my epic amh quilt collection. i decided on a quilt made up of groups of four flying geese blocks (so i could use a handy no-waste […]

cathedral windows pillow
(epic anna maria horner quilt collection #3).

Posted on February 3, 2022February 9, 2022by sarah

while i was talking to my quilt friend jen about future sewing projects, we both decided we wanted to make a cathedral windows quilt. but, since they are pretty labor intensive and we’d never made one before, we decided that maybe we should start with a pillow. i knew i wanted to use my new […]
