2024 Habits: February Update
Let’s talk about quilting habits for 2024. How am I doing? Let’s check out my February progress! After evaluating my year, I found five areas to work on and create better habits going into the new year. Come with me as I discuss these habits. Make sure to tell me yours, too!
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!
Lessons from an Antique Scrap Quilt
I have had this quilt in my collection for about two years now and have been waiting to share it with everyone. I am not sure why I waited so long—it is a beauty. Maybe I wanted to keep it to myself for a little longer? That is probably it. Although I say this about all the old quilts I review, this really is a favorite, and possible the one that has taught me the most. At one point I was going to make this my 100th Lessons from an Old Quilt video because it is so special, but I changed my mind. The time is now to share this one with the world. I hope you love it as much as I love it.

Lessons from an Old Diamond Star Quilt
I just love this one, but it will break your heart. I can’t remember where I got this quilt. I think it was from an auction. Maybe it was a yard sale. Either way, not remembering tells me I didn’t pay much for it. That’s kind of how my mind works. In a way, I feel bad because this old beauty has been abused and forgetting about it, yet again, isn’t the way I like to treat quilts. So let’s give this old quilt some love, shall we?

What Can We Make With One Charm Pack?
What can you make with just one charm pack? This is the question I had when started playing with a charm pack one Sunday afternoon. I loved how the fall quilt came out from my video tutorial One Layer Cake Quilt, and I wanted to make something just as fun to put together. After a few hours of slicing, dicing, and sewing, this pattern was born.
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.

Change Those Blades!
Aren’t rotary cutters the best? What did we ever do without them? We do, however, have to change the blades, and for many quilters (myself included for a very long time!), it is intimidating. The biggest concern is always this: What if we cut ourselves? After all, that blade is super sharp!
Stitch & Flip Quilting
If you have been following the quilting trends lately, we are seeing a resurgence of what is called Stitch & Flip Quilting. Although this isn’t a new technique by any means, it sure is a fun one! Here is some information about it:
