I’d seen this quilt, made by Carolyn Friedlander, before on the internet. Friedlander also happens to be the designer of the fabrics that compose the quilt, and this collection is inspired by her architecture background. Which is also fitting, since the whole thing is an homage to the home. Oh, can I say? It’s absolutely more [...]
I’ve been silent for awhile. It has not been because there is nothing to say. There has been far too much to say. February was the month of insane hours on resumes and prepping for interviews, and one of those jobs, I got. (So that is awesome. Obviously there is a lot to say there.) [...]
This was one of those quilts I had to keep a secret while I was making it; at least, keep it a secret to the internet. I made it for the daughter of a friend, who lives far away, and though our lives intersected in the same city for only a couple years, she made [...]

I’m not one to base goals or timeframes around the time between my birthdays from one year to the next. But right now there are a few things on my mind that I want to accomplish in the next year or so, and my birthday was just two days ago, so it seems like a [...]
I’ve titled this quilt, my own version of Denyse Schmidt’s design, 24, after the year of my life when I created it. Since first discovering Denyse Schmidt’s stunning modern quilts, which may have even been before I even got into quilting, I loved her “Single Girl” design. It is a modern, witty interpretation of the traditional Double Wedding Ring [...]
