Saving the universe one project at a time!
I am so totally in love with Simple Simon & Co’s latest fabric line Shine Bright by Riley Blake Designs!! I just finished painting Sally’s room mint green and I designed this quilt for her bed! The fabrics are perfect for girls – there is even a little bling on some of the fabrics!
You will love how fast it comes together – each square is a 5″ charm square. 
You can download the free PDF pattern by clicking HERE.
Each block is cuter than the next!!
I am so happy to be a part of Lori Whitlock’s Happiness is Handmade blog tour! Lori is such a sweet and talented gal and her new line of fabric totally captured my heart!
The fabrics are playful and whimsical and are just what you need in your Quilty stash!
Her floral print is what totally pushed me over the edge! I was inspired by the vintage feel of the floral fabric to make a table runner – perfect for afternoon tea!
I love all the fabrics in this line – I chose a more subtle palette for this project. The table runner is from Sherri Falls’ Tablerunner Bliss book and this pattern is called Blossom Tablerunner.
The flowers are so vintage-y beautiful!!!
I even used the navy floral for the binding. I really want a whole dress out of this fabric!
The colors are perfect for my kitchen but it might just end up in the family room!
Thanks for stopping by!!! I’d love to invite you over for tea 🙂
It’s December 1st! The spirit of Christmas is in the air!!! This year our family is focusing on “Lighting the World” each day in December by doing an act of service or kindness. These can be super small things like writing a thank you letter, forgiving someone, donating clothes, or visiting someone who is lonely. However small the gesture seems, if we all participate, we CAN make a difference! How will you Light the World this December? To learn more and for a list of suggestions each day go to Mormon.org.
I am spreadig the light of Jesus by taking my favorite Christmas song, O Holy Night, and creating an image for each day in December using the song lyrics. These are a little gift to you as they are free to download. I was thinking it would be fun to print them out and use them with our advent calendar. I hope you enjoy them and that they bring the spirit of Christ into you heart.

I just got my Christmas Party quilt back from my quilter! I am so in love with this quilt! My quilt model needed some work so here he is showing off the beautiful snowflake quilting!
My favorite part of the quilt is the green cat border combined with the pink candy cane binding – SERIOUSLY!!!!!
The back is a light aqua with small circles – from the Daysail line by Moda.
It goes perfectly in my retro-whimsy family room – but it’s actually going to be hung upstairs in the hallway.
You can find the pattern for this quilt in my Etsy shop. I hope you like it!
Meet Christmas Party! My newest quilt pattern! I was totally inspired by a fat quarter bundle of Cotton + Steel Noel that I bought from Fat Quarter Shop!
I loved all the retro designs and the fun prints. I designed this pattern so you could let your favorite Christmas theme prints be the star of the quilt!!! It’s so whimsical – just like a Christmas Party!! The quilt measures 67″ x 77″ and uses 20 fat quarters, background yardage and border yardage. The circle blocks measure 12″ and the swirl blocks measure 6″.
You can purchase the PDF quilt pattern in my Etsy shop and download it instantly.
I wish I had a fun Christmasy background for my photos – it’s still 80 degrees here in California!
Baby Mufasa loves every new quilt!!!
You could easily change out the color scheme and go more traditional red and green – or – it would work for any holiday – or – it would be cute with your favorite new collection of fabric!!
Such a lovely Christmas background….hahahah!! You gotta love California!!
I hope you love the pattern! Sew along with me and use the hashtag #christmaspartyquilt on Instagram!!!

I love floral prints – the bigger the better! Chelsea Market by Blend Fabrics has all the perfect floral prints in one fabric line!! I created this quilt to show off the beautiful flowers – sometimes you just don’t want to cut your fabric up into small bits. This quilt pattern would work well for any of your favorite large prints!

It’s the perfect size for a throw or for the end of a bed. You can download the PDF by clicking here. I hope you love it!!
In our family we have a little saying….well actually it’s song lyrics….. “You put the GOOD in the GOOD LIFE.” I knew I had to use the Good Life fabric from Moda and I knew the quilt had to have words. So meet my newest quilt pattern!
This whimsical quilt measures 37″ square and is perfect to hang on a wall, place on a table, or give as a gift to someone who puts “good” in your life :). The border is made entirely from charm squares, which is super fun because I collect charm packs! It’s available in my Etsy shop as a PDF download for only $5.00!!
The letters are machine appliquéd. Yes, you have to cut them all by hand, but it’s kind of fun! I put on a movie, sat down with my scissors, and it went by fast!
I thought I would be a nerd and pose with my quilt while my 9 year old took my picture….hahah!
The blocks are super fun to make and I love that you can use all the fabrics in a charm pack.
I had a leftover kitty pumpkin quilt block from my “I Love Cats Quilt” so I came up with this fun little wallhanging! It measures 20″ square so you could turn it into a pillow if you wanted to.
I love hanging little quilts all over my house – they make everything so cozy! Below are the instructions to make the mini quilt. The center block measures 10 1/2″ unfinished.
I love fall so much!
