June 26, 2020
Since we're on the topic of Amy's Petal + Stem book this week, I thought it would be appropriate to talk about one of the quilts I helped her quilt for the book.

Garden Whimsy // Quilting Ideas

June 22, 2020
So you’ve been diligently sewing your rows every 2 weeks for the Garden Whimsy Quilt-along and now you’re thinking to yourself: How should I quilt it? That’s where I come in, I’m going to give you a few ideas that are a bit more intricate (perhaps if you’re taking it to a longarm quilter), as well as a few less intimidating ideas you could accomplish on your domestic machine. If you’re not sure what i’m even talking about, the...

Going The Extra Mile

March 22, 2019
Yesterday 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...

Pin Banner Tutorial

March 10, 2019
Today i’m sharing how to make this very simple, easy and quick to make pin banner. I bought a few pins this fall and decided I wanted a way to display them in my studio and a pin banner seemed like the cutest and easiest method. I grabbed my canvas and got cutting and this was the end result. It was so easy I decided to type up a quick tutorial so you can make one, too! Supplies: Canvas...

Batwings + Bowties Block

October 18, 2018
Hello 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...

The yearly photo of my moms birthday "cake". My mo The yearly photo of my moms birthday "cake". My mom requested I make this Swedish Braided bread with apple pie filling for her birthday this year, instead of a cake. It smells delicious and I can't wait to dig in! #birthdaytreat #swedishbraidedbread

I decided to make his ornament this year, and while I set out to make a toilet paper roll ornament, he saw white clay and assumed goose, so I made him Lucy goose. He's quite happy, and so am I. He loves our Lucy goose.

I used oven-bake polymer clay (Michael's brand was what I had on hand), acrylic paint (just the craft variety...again, what I already had on hand), and a glossy glaze (Sculpey, which I don't recommend, its gotten very thin since I last used it, it took way too many coats to be the right thickness). The ornament is about 1.5"h x 1.5"w x 0.5"deep. It was really easy to make, so don't say you can't do it. You can.

Taking advantage of my end of year time off from q Taking advantage of my end of year time off from quilting to do a little crafting. I made an ornament for Brice (which I'll share later when it's finished), and then painted these cute little canvases while my paint was out yesterday. You can see individual photos of each of them over on my other account  @christinalanecreates (grouped with the photo like this).
It gets so dark here this time of year, by afterno It gets so dark here this time of year, by afternoon I've lost all light for photos! This is another quilt quilted for @jenny.l.barrett I felt Sashy was the right amount of modern and traditional for this quilt top. I was having a hard time picking a design for this but kept coming back to this. It's a go-to design for me and I always love it on everything. I think it ended up being pretty perfect for this. #sometimescrafterlongarmquilting
