TUTORIAL: GOOSE GARLAND

Hello Goose Lovers! Recently we went to an industry trade show, H&H, in Chicago and as a part of our booth display, I made this sweet little goose garland to decorate the walls. I got SO MANY requests for a tutorial about this garland that I could’t resist working up a super simple HOW TO for you guys. If you are a store and use this in your shop display, hopefully you will tag me or send me a pic so I can enjoy the loveliness! This is definitely a simple process since the geese are not…

PATTERN SHOWCASE: GARDEN GATE

Welcome back to another pattern showcase! This is one of those patterns that we seem to come back to again and agin. Originally created for the Chantilly collection a while back, we have revisited this fabulous pattern several times with different groups.

PATTERN SHOWCASE: LARKSPUR STARS

Calling all JELLY ROLL lovers out there! Working with a single jelly roll to create this LONE STAR variation was honestly so much more fun than I ever imagined.

You have so many less seams to match than in a traditional Lone Star and it makes all the difference! Pattern has no “y” seams and uses my signature diamond strip method…i think you might love…

PATTERN SHOWCASE: COUNTRYSIDE COTTAGES

I have to tell you that it is definitely a dream of mine to live in the Cotswolds, an area of southwest England, one day. I have had the amazing chance to visit there many times with my parents and kids and on the way to visit family and each time it just gets better. But living there would just be at another level don’t you think?! But in case that day never comes, I love to create quilts that make me feel like I do when I am there! These cottages are literal representations of what Cotswolds…
