I used to make my own bias tape with an actual bias tape maker. Now that I know this method, I will NEVER use one of those things again. Bias tape makers probably have their place, but I found that no matter how precise I tried to be, the finished product was very irregular in […]
Quilting
Remember that Marine fabric I wrote about before? I tackled the quilting last weekend and I LOVE how it turned out. I tried something different this time – I used the generic minky from JoAnn for the backing (I think it’s officially called Soft & Comfy or something like that, it doesn’t have the dots) […]
Remember this tumbler quilt? I got it all quilted on my machine, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I did diagonal straight lines, and with the walking foot it wasn’t too bad at all. But now I need your help! I just can’t decide if something more neutral like the brown looks […]

I received the AccuQuilt Go! Baby for review about a month ago and I am so in love with it. Just watch the video…you’ll see why! Along with the machine, AccuQuilt sent me the 3 1/2″ tumbler die and the 2″, 3″, and 5″ hexagon die. I broke my Go! Baby in with a little […]

Michael Miller always comes up with beautiful fabric collections, and this one is no exception. Ginger Blossom by Sandi Henderson is so bright and fun and beautiful with great colors and patterns. With the help of Accuquilt (more on them later…) I made a small tumbler quilt. This fabric was a dream to work with […]
I know I wrote about this quilt a while ago in my Michael Miller giveaway post, but I love it so much I wanted to share it again. Being the mom of 2 boys, I don’t get nearly enough pink in my life, and this Ginger Blossom quilt with all the pinks has really satisfied […]
