Thank you all so much for contributing to this quilt! It was so much fun to see how my pile of scraps from old projects were turned into these beautiful blocks.

This quilt is a birthday present for a hippie and color loving person and I know that she'll love the craziness of it. I started with the 20 blocks that…

Welcome to finish it up Friday! Today I am THRILLED to share with you my completed log cabin quilt! I started this quilt back in May of 2016 and I'm delighted that it took me less than 2 years to complete it.

They've got a list to be notified about new Tilda collections, which you can sign up for here. I pretty quickly…

Some quilts make me happier than others. A few days ago I finished a giant Star quilt. I really like it, but it doesn´t make me feel WOW inside.
