The Scrappiest One Scrappy Santa

You’ve seen the ombré quilt version of One Scrappy Santa, as well as its coordinating pillow, so now it’s time for all the details on the scrappy quilt! I’ll admit that when I designed this pattern, I was originally planning on only doing the ombré version, but the more I worked on it, the more I knew there had to be a version that utilized precuts and/or scraps, and I’m so glad I did it.

High Top Mountain Quilt

Today I’m sharing one of my favorite quilt finishes, the High Top Mountain quilt. Last year, my brother asked if I’d make a quilt based on the cover art of a favorite Sturgill Simpson album. You know I love a challenge, so I was all in, and that precious baby is now the owner of the quilt I probably spent the most hours on of anything I’ve ever made. But, of course, it wasn’t as simple as that…

Hearts Aren’t Just for Valentine’s

It’s no secret that hearts are a classic motif in quilting and for good reason. At its core, quilting is an act of making that lets us produce a tangible, tactile expression of our love for ourselves or others. Of course, that sometimes takes the form of the most classic symbol of love — the heart. With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I thought it would be fun to put together some Heart of Hearts mockups that would be a joy to create any time of year. Enjoy some eye candy and a discount code on the Heart of Hearts pattern!
