If you are following along with us on our Instagram Stories you will know that I have been doing quite a bit of English paper piecing and also Foundational Paper Piecing, which has been a fun adventure. I started paper piecing two years ago with English paper piecing and then started adding foundational paper piecing to the mix....and I love them both! So, for Christmas I thought I would do work on two foundational paper pieces that I am working into one big Christmas quilt. The quilt itself ... View the Post
English Paper Piecing and a Story…
I get to be first up on our "Shine Bright" tour and I am excited to show you what I have been working on and some thoughts about a woman in my life who was a shining example to me.

Queen Sized Black and White Gingham Quilt
Awhile back we showed you how to make a Gingham Baby Quilt but I just recently re-did my guest room and wanted a large black and white gingham quilt to go in that room. So, I modified the original tutorial from using 5" pre-cut squares to 10" pre-cut squares which made the perfect size quilt for the bottom of a queen bed that I have in that room. And I REALLY REALLY love this quilt! It is so great in that room and looks amazing with the giant sized gingham squares. It's such a simple quilt ... View the Post
How to Tie a Quilt
This is one of those projects that brings back so many memories for me. I remember fondly opening up a gigantic box one year as a Christmas gift. It was from my Grandma Lova and inside the giant box was a handmade tied quilt that she had made for my bed. It was soft and super fluffy (I now suspect it had double batting in it) with a navy blue sheet on one side and a butterfly sheet on the other. I loved that warm quilt and had it on my bed for years. And now as an adult I appreciate it even ... View the Post
