Printable Quilty Bookmark
Read moreWrapped in the warmth of a quilt, lost in the pages of a book … the best place to be. I’ve been drawing up quilt blocks more often and thought these would make the prefect bookmark. I’ve included a PDF with registration marks to help you cut it out once it’s printed. I like to print my bookmarks on thick cardstock, using the photo setting and matte paper options. Sometimes I laminate them to make them extra durable, but either way you’ll be able to print as many as you need from the comfort of your home. Printable Quilt Block…

Quilty Undated Monthly Calendar
Read moreToday I have a quilty undated calendar for you. All of it was hand drawn and designed by me! I love to draw and make fun things like stickers and calendars and sell all the Procreate brushes I use to make my items. This is a PDF file for ease of printing. I recommend going into your print settings and choosing to print this at “Full Bleed” so you have the lovely creamy color around your whole piece. If full bleed isn’t an option with your printer, no worries, you’ll just have a little white border around it. I hope…

Going The Extra Mile
Read moreYesterday I posted some photos on my Instagram stories about repairing foundation paper pieced blocks in a quilt i’ll be quilting for a client. I made a “highlight” on my profile page with all the posts if you’re interested in seeing how I go about making FPP repairs, but that’s not what today’s post is about. Today I wanted to talk about the business of longarm quilting and offering services like this for your clients. I had a couple of people message me on those posts asking if I charge extra to do that…I don’t. I’m sure there are a…

Batwings + Bowties Block
Read moreHello everyone! Today I have long asked for tutorial for the block I used in my Halloween quilt a few years ago. Not only that, but I made a YouTube video tutorial for it as well. It’s such a simple block and so much fun to put together with scraps or small amounts of fabric you have on hand. It’s the perfect block for a scrappy quilt. I had so much fun making this quilt, and using all of my hoarded Halloween fabrics. Halloween is my favorite holiday and I can’t believe it took me so many years to finally…
