It is officially summer, which means yard sale season is in full swing, the gardens are blooming, and we are halfway through the year! This month, preparation for our upcoming Christmas in July event turned my usual schedule upside down, but the quilting didn't stop. From clearing out fabric panels for a much-needed iPad pouch to cataloging two amazing new antique quilts, June was full of twists, turns, and a few "whomp-whomps." Intrigued? Read on to see the full monthly scoreboard!

A three-day quilt retreat, 113 cataloged quilts, and a massive walking-foot quilting breakthrough! May was a highly productive (and beautifully messy) month for my quilting habits. Read the full update to see how the goals held up, what had to be seam-ripped, and how close I am to finishing a major modern block challenge.

April brought springtime joy, steady quilting progress, and a few personal updates along the way. From Daisy’s recovery to hitting the halfway mark on my Tula Pink blocks and celebrating 7 million views, it’s been a full and memorable month.

March means more sunshine, and I am here for it! Let’s dig in and see how I did on each of my quilting habits in March.

February really is a great month to quilt, isn't it? It is cold, it is stormy, and it is the heart of quilting season! This month, I did great at some of my goals and struggled with others. Come along and see how I progressed (or didn't) in this month's quilting habits and goals.

Even with the slower pace, I’ve actually been doing really well with my habits and goals, and I had some fun highlights along the way. From trying something totally new with a barn quilt painting class, to a little sewing room upgrade thanks to my wonderful husband, to celebrating my birthday month with a very exciting new serger—January definitely delivered some bright spots.
