Trying something new… inspired by our trip to New Orleans ⚜️

Also, if you are interested — I will be speaking with @sherrilynnwood’s @bravepatchschool on Saturday, May 7th at 12PM ET about Making Space for Creativity. I’ll be talking about my philosophy: how choosing the projects we work on, choosing the fabrics we buy, and keeping a tidy workspace — with intention—creates space for creativity to flourish.

If you’re interested in joining us, head to @bravepatchschool to learn more. I hope you’ll join us. I’m excited to be a part of it and can’t wait to see you there!❤️

If you need me, I’ll be here . . .

LOL! Who am I kidding? Actually, I’ll be in my car picking up from school and the bus, driving to music lessons and sports practices. 😂

But what I meant is that these two gorgeous books will be with me! And if you haven’t had the chance to check them out, you most absolutely should. They are both INSANELY INSPIRING. I mean it.

@quiltscornerstone @luckyspool @roderick752 @quiltfolk thank you. These are phenomenal. ❤️

Todays prompt for #igquiltfest2022 is quilting wit

Todays prompt for #igquiltfest2022 is quilting with friends, and this month’s article for @lovequiltingmag is ALSO about Quilting With Friends! 🎉
👯‍♂️
As you probably know, @megancollins_a and I made the quilt pictured here to keep us connected during the pandemic. And you probably ALSO know by now that I think quilting with friends is the best!
🥰
Check out the article for some of my favorite ways to quilt with friends and let me know if you are thinking of making a traveling quilt with a friend! Megan and I would be happy to share any tips with you that we picked up along the way! ❤️

Unlike yesterday's quilt, this one has evolved wit

Unlike yesterday's quilt, this one has evolved with the boy (my oldest). Even as his tastes have changed, his bed has changed, his room has changed -- it's somehow passed the test and managed to stay loved. 💛

Neon Nova, as we call it, was made with all Kona cottons. And that yellow -- I think it was called highlighter? - was the color of the year. It happened to be my son's favorite color at the time, too, so it worked out perfectly!

Swipe for a peek into the past! 💙

For today’s #igquiltfest2022 prompt I had to dig

For today’s #igquiltfest2022 prompt I had to dig deep into the archives (and my linen closet) 🤣.
…
This first picture is of my middle son on his 6th birthday with the first quilt I ever finished. I took this photo to document how much he had grown from when first made it. The quilt was made with @cloud9fabrics, all organic, in anticipation of his arrival— and I can still picture him all snuggled up with it when he was a baby. 👶🏻
…
Swipe to see that baby now with his quilt. It’s not quite the same, is it? 🤣
. . .
Thanks for the trip down memory lane, #igquiltfest! I guess it’s time to make a bigger quilt! 😆

Took a trip to NYC to see the Faith Ringgold exhib

Took a trip to NYC to see the Faith Ringgold exhibit, American People, at the @newmuseum. If you are able to go, I highly recommend it. I’ve seen many of Faith Ringgold’s works before but never like this— in a comprehensive collection and in context — as this exhibit shows it. Over 60 years of work in one space. Truly incredible and so inspiring.

A few more shots of Sisterhood of the Traveling Qu

A few more shots of Sisterhood of the Traveling Quilt, a collaboration with @megancollins_a.

We started planning this quilt almost 2 years ago at the last in-person QuiltCon (yes, I wrote 2019 on the artist statement, but it actually WAS 2020. I just forgot we actually left the house at the beginning of that year 😂).

It took us almost another year to finalize our color palette and design, which was a combination of New York Beauty blocks (me, being from New York) and Friendship Knots (to represent our friendship across the miles- Megan lives in TX).

We sent fabric, quilt blocks, and the finished top back and forth to have this quilt come together.

We chose to keep the binding a simple continuation of the green except where it intersected with the stars along the edge (zoom in if you want a better look).

It was so much fun to make together, and even better to see it hang in Phoenix.

And if you'd like to read more about Quilting with Friends, you can find tips and ideas in Issue 111 of Love Patchwork & Quilting Magazine @lovequiltingmag, which is out now!

Oh QuiltCon, I missed you! I didn’t even know ho

Oh QuiltCon, I missed you! I didn’t even know how much until I was there. ❤️

Looking back on the weekend I’m feeling very grateful. Thank you so much to @themqg for an amazing weekend of inspiration, connection, and learning. And a huge heartfelt thank you to the @internationalquiltmuseum and MQG for a special evening that I will not forget.

Thank you to every friend new and old that I got to spend time with this weekend! And thank you @tcsoper for being the best and making it possible for me to go and enjoy.

It was a blast to see @megancollins_a — and our quilt hanging in the show. It made it even more special to be able to be there together to see it hang! 🤩

Aside from the quilts, here are just a few of my favorite moments from the weekend.

Can’t wait to do it again in Atlanta!

Are you thinking about sewing more sustainably this holiday season? 🎄♻️ Comment below if it’s been on your mind. 🤔👇🏻

And if you are, check out Issue 103 of @lovequiltingmag. I’m sharing some ways that we can be more mindful about our fabric usage by sewing from our stash this holiday season — rather than heading to the store 🚗 and buying new! 🎁

You can download this issue online today, or find it in your local bookstore or fabric shop in a few weeks! 🎉

Do you wish you could just walk into your sewing r

Do you wish you could just walk into your sewing room and sit down to sew, rather than having to push piles of stuff aside first?

Do you need a better system for storing works-in-progress so that they don’t take over your entire sewing space?

For the past year+ I have been helping quilters to declutter their sewing spaces over Zoom. It’s been amazing to work with so many people one on one to help them declutter.

But once a year, via @feelgoodfibers, we host a FREE four-week community challenge where we can all declutter our sewing rooms TOGETHER. It’s the best!

If you’re looking for a way to boost your sewjo and get your sewing room ready for holiday sewing, JOIN US!

I’ll guide you with tips, motivation, and encouragement through all four weeks. Here’s what we’ll tackle:

⭐ Week 1: WIPs
⭐ Week 2: Flat Surfaces
⭐ Week 3: Stash
⭐ Week 4: Destash Tips
⭐ and best of all, PRIZES THROUGHOUT!

The challenge kicks off October 7th, but sign ups are open NOW! Head to the link in my bio or over to @feelgoodfibers to sign up!

I can't wait to get started!

PINCH ME PLEASE!!! This is my first glimpse of Lincoln hanging in the entryway(!) to the new @internationalquiltmuseum exhibition Modern Meets Modern! Swipe to see a 3D walk through the exhibit hall and then head to the IQM’s website to check out this entire stunning show. It’s amazing how the virtual tour feels like you are in the room with these quilts. If you can’t be there in person, it’s definitely the next best thing!
