It’s Cinco de Mayo, a very special day for so many people filled with the celebration of Mexican heritage and pride.
Tradition, hope, freedom and love are some of the greatest motivators and inspirations for artists and creators of beautiful things:) I want to take this opportunity to share some of them with you today!
This is another quilt that beautifully displays Mexican tradition and heritage. It was made with love by Mary Moses, a talented Grandma in Pocatello, Idaho as a gift for her grandson.
Day of the Dead is a deeply rooted Mexican tradition. It’s a celebration of love and remembrance for ancestors that have passed on.
Whatever it is that inspires and motivates you to express your talents and create beautiful things, I would take this opportunity to thank, encourage and commend you!
Now go share your what you’ve learned with someone else and may the legacy continue.

Have you fallen in love with Quilt as You Go yet? It’s a fun technique for quilts, of course, but I’m having lots of fun using it for pouches and tote bags too.
I’m so excited to share with you the pattern for our first mini quilt of 2018… Flora! This beautiful little quilt was designed by the very talented Lauren of Molly & Mama…
At my daughter Chloe’s high school (can you believe my baby started high school???), the lunch lines are so long that she has been skipping lunch! She’s always starving by the time she gets home because she doesn’t want to carry a big lunch bag as well as her heavy backpack – poor girl!
Looking for free table runner patterns? I gathered up all my favorites in one place – here are free quilt patterns for table runners for fall, winter, spring and summer!
I am so in love with the beautiful look of simple patchwork quilts with lots of squares. This is the perfect way to use up fabric scraps like I did, or you can make a beautifully coordinated quilt with pre-cut 2 1/2’’ square fabric pieces that come in mini-charm packs.
I’m also in love with the process. If you feel like quilt making is your escape from the world and sitting down to sew for a few hours makes your troubles fade away… this is the quilt for you!

Sometimes I get things right. I mean I really do, and I sew something totally amazing. That’s what happened with these pillows.
It all started when I saw some adorable picture pillows with dogs in the store one day, I said to myself, ‘I can do that – with pictures of our own dog even!’
This sewing tutorial for kitchen towels that won’t fall off the handle was just so tempting to me, that I dropped everything and made a couple to match the heart shaped potholder that I made last month. These are by far the most beautiful dish towels I have ever owned. And I won’t have to pick them up off the floor 100 times a day. I am in love.
I’m so excited to make a new batch of face masks that have adjustable ear loops! The masks that I sewed 6-9 months ago really need replacing and this time I was able to find the perfect ear loops with an adjuster that are soft and comfortable, plus they ensure a good fit. I changed the template that I used for cutting out my face mask fabric (to account for sewn-in ties), so I’m sharing a new template with you that includes 5 different sizes from child small all the way up to adult extra large.
