How to Hang a Quilt on Your Wall – 2 different ways
I slipped a dowel through the quilt sleeve and in just a few minutes, it was up! I took these photos immediately after, so the wrinkles hadn’t come out yet. But they are gone now, a few days later.

Easy Quilt Block Tutorial: The Friendship Star
This is the Friendship Star classic quilt block tutorial! Have you made it before? It’s so easy because it’s just a nine-patch with some half square triangles thrown in. I love a scrappy quilt so I went crazy using mostly prints. I only used a couple solids.
Easy Quilt Block Tutorial: The Variable Star (in a star)
The Variable Star is a classic quilt block that has been around for over 100 years. It has also been called the Sawtooth Star and the Evening Star. This fun block lends itself to so many versions. Since the center is a square, you can fill that square with patchwork, fussy cut fabric, or more stars (like I did)!
Easy Quilt Block Tutorial: the Sailboat Block
Sew an easy, cute quilt block that’s perfect for a boy or a girl. I’m so excited to show you this adorable, resizable Sailboat Quilt Block!
Easy Pine Tree Quilt Block (plus how to finish your Gnome Forest Quilt)
I love the gnomes, but having pine trees on the quilt too really gives them a setting, and now quilt starts to tell a story.
Do the gnomes live in the woods or were they just out having a picnic? Or maybe they are lost? Or out cutting down a Christmas tree!
The difference between a Quilt and a Blanket – this should be common knowledge!
Every quilter knows this. Every one else should know it too… there is a HUGE difference between a quilt and a blanket.
What are Low Volume Fabrics and How Do I Use Them?
I LOVE sewing low volume quilts! To me, they are modern and traditional, using lots of fabrics that don’t necessarily match, but look beautiful as a whole. We’re not starting something new, just borrowing ideas from early quilters who cut fabric pieces from clothing, sheets, and even flour sacks, piecing them together in beautiful patterns.
Free Quarter Square Triangle Mini Quilt Pattern… Lunar Landing
You must think I’ve lost my mind with this mini quilt. For some reason when I was arranging these adorable quarter square triangles to make our mini, they started looking like little alien space ships to me. And the background reminded me of the moon!

Did you know we had a lunar eclipse on January 31st? I’m sure you knew about the total solar eclipse last August (unless you never came out of your sewing room that month, lol!). Well, to mark these historic events of our time, Becky Jorgensen of Patchwork Posse designed the beautiful Eclipse mini quilt for us!
