Snowflake Quilt: The Journey
It all started back in January 2024. Yes, this project has been in the works THAT long. Can you believe it? I know I can’t. Anyway, I digress. It all started back then when Michelle from The Simple Quilter contacted me and asked if I would like to participate in a snowflake quilt challenge. Once I saw the pattern, I was in love! Of course I said YES! And so the journey began.
Layer Cake Quilt: Camping Style!
There's something magical about camping—the fresh air, the crackling campfire, and the starry nights. I wanted to capture that magic in a cozy and creative way, so I decided to make a camping-themed quilt. Using a fabric layer cake, which is a bundle of pre-cut 10-inch squares, I found the perfect palette of colors and patterns to bring my vision to life. In this blog post, I'll take you through each step of the process, from selecting the right fabrics to stitching it all together. Whether you're an experienced quilter or a beginner looking for a fun project, this camping-themed quilt is a wonderful way to combine your love for the outdoors with your passion for crafting. Let's get started!
How To Make A Pillow Cover
Don’t you just love making your own home decor? These pillow covers are super easy to make and fun, too! From this tutorial, you will be able to turn almost any fabric panel into a pillow such as a quilt block, a fabric panel, or just a really pretty piece of fabric you love!
In these instructions, I will show you have to make an envelope pillow cover two different ways and include the math for both!
Let’s get started on how to do this!
Just One Layer Cake Hourglass Quilt
Like in my last Just One Layer Cake video, this quilt all started with me playing with a layer cake. Mind you, my first attempt isn’t always the one I go with. In fact, this quilt took a few attempts to find something that I liked. It is also important to note that I don’t always love the layer cake I am using after I open it up. Both of these came into play with this one. I carried on, however, bound and determined to make a One Layer Cake quilt! I can do it!
Easy Four-Patch Quilt
This quilt is super easy and super fun to make. All you need is one layer cake to make this quilt top. I used flannel, but this would work with any fabrics, including scraps.
Lessons from an Old Patchwork Baby Quilt
Isn’t this a great quilt? I purchased this at a yard sale. I tried to get the seller to keep it, but she said she no longer wanted it, even though it is very special to her. She did, however, tell me some information about the quilt, which is always good!
7 Lies Quilters Tell
I must confess. I tell a lot of lies in my quilting life. The majority of these lies are things I tell myself, promises I make, deals and systems that don’t pan out, so many things! Please tell me I am not alone. Although there are probably at least 20 lies I tell myself, here are my top seven.

Just One Layer Cake Quilt
One day when I just wanted to sew, I went on a search for a layer cake pattern and stumbled across Jenny Doan’s Double Slice tutorial. Click here for the link. While I was making it, I went a little rogue and came up with this pattern. Although I haven’t gone back and made the Double Slice quilt (I plan to someday), I am loving this variation! It is so much fun to make!
