Happy Christmas, Heroes!
As a kid, decorating the Christmas tree was a magical experience. My mom assembled the tree and wound the lights (the hard parts). Then, while she retreated to the kitchen to bake cookies and warm apple cider, my siblings and I hung the ornaments.
Bargello Got the Wiggles
This classic Bargello throw quilt is the creative brainchild of Melody and her husband, who worked together to choose the fabrics. The result is a beautifully blended quilt that pulses with movement.
Whatever Frida Wants, Frida Gets
Nancy made this reversible throw quilt as a gift for her daughter. Bursting with energy, it turned out as iconic and magical as the woman it honors. We talked about some different quilting ideas, but in the end, Frida insisted on my "Fiesta Flowers" pattern.
Modern Autumn Splendor
Plum, seafoam, slate blue and celery green are a fresh alternative to classic fall colors. Whatever the color palate, it’s hard to go wrong with Hoffman’s Batik Bali Pops. The collection plays together beautifully in this pattern that resembles a brick wall.

This Churn Dash quilt, made up of classic navy and cream fabrics, is more than worth the wait!
All Spook, No Sweet
No sweet swirls or loops for this embroidered Halloween quilt. Check out the creepy echo around the embroidery designs, and the bat wings on the orange border. Trick or Treat, witches!

Tactile and Tasty
Did you know that a baby can't see color until five months of age? But she's been exploring her world with touch since before she was born. Flannel, waffle-weave, flat cotton and Minkee combine to make this an extra-tactile baby quilt.
Head and Shoulders Above
Anne is on a roll making animal quilts for her grandkids. Seeing this regal giraffe, I understand why. We chose a quilting design that would put this beauty in her natural habitat: a savanna with endless rolling grasses.
