I can’t believe I almost forgot about Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day! Thank you to some of my Instagram friends for the reminder. 🙂 Today, I’m offering a giveaway of this handmade shopping tote bag I made from Pop Rox fabrics by Carol Van Zandt for Andover. The patchwork (on both sides) is a modified…

I have some fun news . . . my String Circles quilt from Modern Bee is featured on the cover of February’s Popular Patchwork magazine! The issue also includes the full quilt pattern. So you might see it on newsstands if you are located in the U.K. It’s been a true honor to read all…

Hello again! As I mentioned, I’m catching up this week on blogging about some patterns I wrote for publication. This winter, I had the chance to sew a fun and quick project for the Spring 2014 issue of Quilts and More magazine. My project is a neck pillow and travel shawl sewn with Cuddle from…

I’m going to spend some time over the next couple weeks updating the blog on some magazine projects I’ve had the privilege to create! Since there’s a new issue of Generation Q out now (featuring my friend Sara on the cover!), I figured it was about time to blog about the previous issue. Hah! Several…

Today, my friend RaeAnna is sharing all about a sweet gift she made for Elliot! It’s a bodysuit and pants set using the newborn line from Peek-a-Boo Patterns.    RaeAnna is participating in a pattern tour, and she asked if I could take some photos of this little guy modeling the outfit. But, of course!…

On Tuesday, January 7th, I became a mom. Meet Elliot. He’s quite the looker, if I do say so myself. To say the delivery was rough would be an understatement. I had no idea that the little man inside of me would arrive into the world at a whopping 9 lbs. and 21 inches. I…

Are you ready for the holidays? I’m a couple weeks out from my due date, and have been trying to fit in some last-minute sewing projects before the baby arrives.   My local Modern Quilt Guild hosted a Secret Santa swap the other weekend, and I made this mini quilt for Stefanie. She loves Moda…

  I have another magazine project to share! Sometime last spring, just after we’d moved to Nashville, I submitted a purse design to Stitch magazine for their winter issue. I really love working with Stitch, because their design prompts are so interesting and they really get my creative juices flowing. The idea was to design…
