Blocks Series - Modern Feathers - Block 9 Jun 07, 2023

I wrestled a little with the ideas I had for this block.  It is such a traditional block and I wanted it to be atypical and not completely predictable.  Thank you so much for watching it really means a lot! Here is a link to this week's video.

One ruler to rule them all!  If I had to pick a ruler that I could not live without it would be my Rocket Ruler by Silly Moon Quilt Co.  I did stitch this entire block using only this one ruler.  Here is a link to this week's video.  Thank you so much for watching I am working...

This quilt block took quite a lot of marking.  I have mentioned this before but I'll say it again, I love and almost exclusively use blue water-soluble markers.  I mostly use one by Kering but almost any blue water-soluble pen will work.  The technology isn't new and I haven't had...

I am officially halfway through this quilt!  I kinda went off of my sketched plan this week. I felt like the quilt block needed some extra pizzazz.  But I'm a little ahead of myself.  If you would prefer to skip right to the video the link can be found here:

This is one of the more difficult blocks to piece, I am not the best piecer but I was pretty proud of how well this whole quilt came out.  I antagonize endlessly when choosing fabrics as well.... hahaha I suppose my skills lie primarily in quilting.  Anyhow being one of the most...

I wrestled with making this block the same as I had in the original version as it was so cool but ultimately decided that I had other ideas and needed to move in a different direction.   Here is a photo of the original scrappy version block.

I had a difficult week this week.  I just felt like I took on a little too much.  I think that's why I find so much joy in these blocks.  They aren't complicated, To me they read simple and clean.  Feathers are one of the most flexible designs in the quilting world, you can...

You may or may not have noticed, but I accidentally pieced this block upside down! Hahaha, oh well, there are no quilt police here!  If you are planning to quilt this block in the same way you can just quilt it upside up.

Woohoo, here we go again! Okay, okay, I know.  I didn't quilt the scrappy version of this pattern on YouTube, but I did quilt it.  But in all honesty, it just didn't fit the modern aesthetic I was going for.  Don't get me wrong I love the quilt and I like scrappy quilts too,...

Custom Quilted Circle of Life Quilt Jan 12, 2023

The first quilt I finished in 2023 was a doozie.  This quilt pattern is called Circle of Life by Jacqueline de Jonge.  Kathy Salvador pieced this quilt and brought it to me to custom quilt.  She had some amazing ideas and the best one was a tree of life.  But I'll tell you the...
