×In this post I’m going to share some tips for quilting on your home sewing machine, specifically straight line quilting. Straight line quilting is a simple and fast way to machine quilt your projects on your own sewing machine. No special skills are required, but having the right Walking Foot or Dual-Feed foot will make a big difference. I’ll also share a little bit about the difference between the two types of sewing-machine feet.This post is sponsored by Baby Lock Sewing Machines but all thoughts, opinions and commentary are my own.

×Thanks for stopping by! I’m excited to share this free Sentimental Stars Quilt Pattern with you. This is a classic quilt design with lots of design options. It looks great as a two-tone quilt in solids or you could make it with a variety of prints as I did with the Winter Stars quilt that I started last year using the Liberty Festive Collection. Here is the new quilt. The solids version is made using Riley Blake Confetti Cottons in the colors Dream (blue) and Cloud (white).  Dream is such a pretty warm/gray-green blue. I’ve had a two-tone quilt on my “want-to-make” list for a...…×Thanks for stopping by! I’m excited to share this free Sentimental Stars Quilt Pattern with you.

×Hello! Welcome back to Manx Quilting part 2 – how to make a Manx quilt block! If you’re looking for the background of Manx quilting and where it comes from, you can find it in Part 1 here. I was so tickled by the reaction to that post. There really is something about the Isle of Man and its people that pulls you in and makes you love them. It was fun to find out that it wasn’t just me!I’m so excited to walk you through the process that I learned for making a traditional Manx Quilt block. As you can see, it is similar to a traditional American Log Cabin quilt block in terms of appearance...…×Hello! Welcome back to Manx Quilting part 2 – how to make a Manx quilt block!

×I recently finished a classic nine-patch (or Irish Chain) quilt for a baby gift. I went with neutral, low-volume colors making it both timeless and on-trend. The best part is that it was a really fun and quick quilt to put together and today I’m sharing a tutorial so you can make one too!You may remember me working on this quilt in this post. An update on that below. This quilt finishes at 42″ x 54″ for a generous crib size quilt. It is based on 6″ quilt blocks, so it would be very easy to resize smaller or bigger.It’s also a great quilt for using stash, including leftover 2 ½″ precut...…×I recently finished a classic nine-patch (or Irish Chain) quilt for a baby gift.
