Hunter’s Star Mini with Fat Quarter Shop

February 16, 2018
Happy Friday! Today I’m sharing the mini quilt that I made using the Fat Quarter Shop’s new twist on a classic block, the Hunter’s Star. The walls of my sewing room are BARE, y’all.

September 16, 2017
Happy National Sew a Jelly Roll Day! OK, so it may be a totally made-up holiday, but if it sounds like dessert and features fabric, I’m certainly not complaining! I’m so excited to be a featured blogger for Fat Quarter Shop’s Project Jelly Roll sew-along. Fat Quarter Shop has several awesome (and FREE!) jelly roll patterns available for download; you can find links to those patterns on their blog HERE. I made my Project Jelly Roll quilt using FQS’s Jelly Roll Check pattern and a couple of  ...
