Continuing with my unintentional "And then it went wrong" series, when the little voice in my head says it's too thick and too close to the edge for a fancy stitch, I should listen. My poor sewing machine tried for a long time before screaming about the bunching thread on the back. If anyone needs me, I'll be pulling out this seam until the end of time. 🫣

I'm working on making the cover quilt for my new Bear Summit quilt pattern. I made the first bear, hung it up on my wall, then noticed days later that I'd sewn two pieces in upside down. I ripped those out, sewed them in correctly, then proceeded to sew the lower section of the block on with the wrong side up. I'm naming all of the bears, and this one is now Jack (the Ripper). 🫣

We're halfway through the Happy at Home block of the month! For June we're making a table fan that looks just a little bit retro. Nothing like a cool breeze in the summer!

It's my week in the Shades of Gray Quilt Block Tour, so I decided to go with a moody gray flower with an eye-catching center. Get this one in 6" finished AND 12" finished!

They made so much progress on the house last week! It's really starting to take shape. I can't wait to see what it looks like later this week!

All it took to make this bunting was the equivalent of a charm pack (I used scraps) and some jellyroll strips. I can't wait to hang this for the 4th of July! ❤️🤍💙

Firing up the tools to start work on my next quilt pattern! My thanks to for this cozy group of fabrics I'll be using for it. I can't wait to show you the Bear Summit Quilt Pattern in August!

The May block for the Happy at Home quilt is here! I'm a lifelong bookworm, so this one holds a special place for me. While I love it in the solid fabrics, it would also be fun made up with some selvages!
