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…

I wanted to quickly share a project I made for Stitch Craft Create’s Gifts 2013 issue. Way back in January, I had a few sewing deadlines to meet before my husband and I packed up and moved from Indiana to Tennessee. This Sturdy Striped Tote was made with fabric I picked up at IKEA (clearance!)…

Yesterday, I got a package containing one of the nicest gifts I’ve ever received! It was a quilt-size box (what?!), and the shipping label said it was a package from my friend Sarah at Fabric Seeds. I know I’ve mentioned Sarah before, as she was one of the first blog friends I met in “real…

Hello! I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving! I celebrated the holidays a little early with family, since Matt and I are now camping out at home to await the baby’s arrival. My due date is in early January, but we’re entering that window where you really don’t want to be far from home….

Since I’ve been a little MIA this month, I wanted to tell you what’s been filling my days. Yesterday, I shared some pics from my trip to Houston Quilt Market. The very next weekend, I hosted a . . . Book Release Party in Nashville I know I talk a lot about fabric on this…

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have noticed that I’ve been putting together a little party! This Friday, November 1st, I’m hosting it’s a little gathering to celebrate the release of my book, Modern Bee. I had a lot of fun planning the decor, refreshments (stay tuned for pics of the much-anticipated book…

I’m headed to Quilt Market in Houston today! At first, I felt a little overwhelmed by taking this trip in my third trimester, but it will be worth it to see friends and take it all in. Stash Books is also hosting a book signing for me on Saturday morning, and I have some other…
