One thing about quilting that fortifies my soul again and again is that the process itself reminds me that I know how to rebuild….and that maybe rebuilding is a blessing. I choose the pieces. I decide the structure. I hold the blueprint. And so do you. 💟

Who knew a fist full of fabric scraps sewn together could feel as strong and sustaining as brick?

As a kid, I lived in lots of houses, apartments, duplexes, sometimes hotel rooms, but no place I had ever been felt like my home. So, I built a home for myself in my mind and in my heart so that I could carry it with me anywhere I went and today, I get to share a small piece of my home with you. Thank you for all of your kind, clear support…from the bottom of my heart. 💟

I know I said I wanted to create a skill building course around Heart of the House quilt…and I still do. But my design brain is always working and I want to turn this idea into a quilt first 🥰

A quilting hobby becomes a practice when it becomes something you return to with intention.

And sometimes that intention can get muddied up by expectations…whether the expectations are self imposed or imposed by others.

If part of what keeps you from carving out time to quilt is an overwhelming sense of responsibility to everyone but you, I invite you to challenge those expectations for a little while every day. I have no doubt that you have earned it. 💟

Quilting is my mantra, my meditation. My self help, self love, heart centered practice. It gives me order, joy, perspective and bone-deep satisfaction.

This is when I do my best thinking and my most salient emotional processing. 💟

Nothing beats working while cozy. I often have a difficult time with slowing down without losing momentum. So this is the compromise: dedication + creature comfort. There’s no need to punish yourself to stay on task and being comfortable doesn’t mean slacking off. I do my best work when I’m taking it easy and being gentle with myself. Creativity and receptivity are enhanced this way. Less rigidity. More ease. 💟

Hello loves. I’m bringing you a paid pattern this week to help support my free pattern sharing habit. 🥰

This little beauty is inspired by wildflowers. It’s prime time for all things bloomable as we head into May and Patchwork Wilds was envisioned with the natural world in mind so it’s only fitting. 🌸

Don’t worry if you’re unable to purchase a pattern right now. Carousel quilt patterns will resume next week 😊

If you’re willing and able to show your support by buying a pattern, please do. I’ve included a direct link to the pattern in my bio. Many thanks to you 💟

I had a tiny personal existential crisis this week and almost lost my sew-jo. I got ahead of myself, was bullying myself into biting off more than I could chew and telling myself all or nothing stories about what I ought to be doing. And for a minute I could feel myself start to crash out over some impossible standard I had set for myself that no one asked for. What ended up stopping the spiral was realizing that it was robbing me of my joy. So I made the conscious decision to step in and take my joy back.

I’m really excited about this week’s pattern and I can’t wait to share it with you 💌

Welcome back to another carousel quilt pattern. I had made a whole sample quilt for this pattern and by the time I pieced it all together, I wasn’t completely sold on the color palette. So, I decided not to finish an entire quilt in 4 days for the first time in several weeks (lol) and rework the color palette instead. Of course that means I ran out of time this week to make a second sample quilt, but I know you’ll understand. 🤍

The finished quilt measures 60” x 63”.

For the backing fabric you will need 4 yards assuming 4 inches of overage and for the binding you will need 1/2 yard assuming 2 1/2 inch binding strips.

The fabrics used in the cover quilt are Pure Solids and they are listed for you on slide 2. ✨

Allow me to (re)introduce myself. With so many new faces around I want to welcome you and say hello! 👋🏽

Some fun facts about me:

🩺 I’m a registered nurse - I sort of fell into it unexpectedly and can’t imagine doing anything else (besides quilting) for a living.

🌲 I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, so yes, I do love a good rainy day, mountains, and all things green. I’m in the Midwest now and not a day goes by that I don’t miss the ocean.

🧵 I started quilting in 2017 and honestly, it’s become my most die-hard creative outlet. What started as a curiosity quickly became a lifelong passion.

Feel free to say hello and drop a fun fact about yourself in the comments if you’d like. I’m so glad you’re here and I’m excited to continue to inspire you on your quilty journey 🤍
