Saving the universe one project at a time!
Inspired by my Swiss Kiss Valentie Quilt, this pattern uses Scaredy Cat fabrics for a modern fall version of the quilt!
This quilt features bold cross blocks, dark charcoal background and a patchy pumpkin. You can totally put this quilt together in a day!
This quilt is also 10″ precut friendly! I love using precuts!
And it’s 100% Mufasa apprised.
The quilt is available as a PDF pattern or a paper pattern in my Etsy shop.
Do you love scrap quilts? I love the idea of creating something with leftovers, something with rejected pieces. I think there is a sermon somewhere in there!

The quilt measures 64″ x 64″ and the block size is 8″.

This world wide pandemic has changed everyone’s life. Its is the craziest time right now. I still can’t believe this is real and we are living it. Today is the end of week 4 for us in quarinteen.
I wanted to create something that represented this time. I love making quilts to commemorate or document a life event. This certainly is a life event.
So I spent time looking around, soul searching, and coming to terms with what this all means so I could put it into a quilt.
This is what I came up with. Let me explain why.
Technically it’s spring, there are flowers and blooms. However every day thus far has been rainy or cloudy – gray. So I knew this quilt needed to reflect that. It’s as if spring is trying to emerge but the weather is holding it back – and I think that’s how people feel. We are trying to grow and thrive but this virus is a cloud hanging over us. The sun will come out – just not yet. So the quilt has a dark woven gray background and also an abundance of flowers.
Everyday I wake up and think “Is this real?” and then I realize – yes its so real. So I get up and do it all over again – just like Groundhog Day! I find myself praying throughout the day, asking for strength, asking for blessings for those who are suffering, those who are caretakers or healthcare workers, blessings for leaders of countries, blessings for a cure. Every day I am seeking for Grace. And so the phrase Grace everyday needed to be a part of the quilt. That’s how I am living – with trust in Him and hope in Him.
I wanted this quilt to be a reminder of this time. I had planned to have the quilt finished by Easter. But then the mask sewing began the the quilt was put on pause. I want to remember that when I look at this quilt. There are so many things this quilt reminds me of. Most of all it’s the goodness of people and the goodness of God. A line from a favorite song “and rain will make the flowers grow.” That is this quilt.
I hope you like it.

I love being inspired by fabric. I completely fell in love with the Winterbourne fabric collection by Liberty Fabrics for Riley Blake Designs. I love this combination of teals, grays, and English prints. I wanted to create a quilt with some traditional elements, but also wanted some negative space to let the fabrics be the star. I love this modern version of traditional star quilt!
I also love quilts that aren’t time consuming and complicated. This quilt is made up of 30 blocks – that’s it – no sashing or setting. 30 blocks and you’re done!
The fabric requirements for the quilt top are simple: 10 fat quarters (you can get by with less but you won’t have the variety), 3 1/4 yards linen fabric, and 3/4 yard for the rectangles in the design.
You can find the Regent Street Quilt Pattern in my Etsy shop as a PDF download. I hope you love it!
The quilt measures 60″ x 72″. That measurement is easily adjusted, just add or subtract quilt blocks to make it the size you want!
I love using Riley Blakes linen, its 55% linen and 45% cotton. It’s a great choice for a low volume!
It’s 100% Mufasa approved 🙂
I am so excited it’s finally February! January is soooooo long! Getting out all my heart quilts helps me feel happy during a long and dreary January. Each year I write a new heart themed pattern and here is 2020’s!!!
I’m so in love with it! I was designing the quilt pattern with 25 Churn Dash blocks and hearts for the center when I realized this quilt NEEDS a little feline! So in the bottom corner is an optional kitty cat block! The quilt pattern is available for PDF instant download in my Etsy Shop.
The fabrics are so delightful! I love the pink, blue, gold, coral combination. The fabric line is called Petals and Pots by Riley Blake Design. For the white background I used Riley Blake Blossom white on white – which I am super in love with!!!
The quilt pattern is written for fat quarters and you get 2 quilt blocks per fat quarter.
Also, I used an easy piece method which means you only have to cut squares and no cutting triangles!
I can totally see this quilt in Halloween colors and only cats!
I hope you love this quilt and it brings a little brightness to winter time.
Mufasa loved modeling this quilt! He’s so good, he just sits there and doesn’t try to run away.
Look at his tail wrapped over his paws 🙂
I’m so happy to be releasing this pattern BEFORE Christmas! I got home from Quilt Market in October and was completely inspired! I had this idea to create a new Christmas quilt with lots of fun vintage colors. I knew I wanted deer in the quilt. I played around with some ideas and then created this! I love that it is whimsical and vintage feeling. It was fun to make a quilt with pinks, reds, greens, and aquas! All my favorites!
The quilt measures 68″ x 77″ which means its a great throw quilt size! I think I might hang mine 🙂
The pattern is a PDF download available in my Etsy shop.
The patterns is written in sections: the tree, the larges star, the deer blocks, the small sawtooth blocks, and the twirl star blocks. This makes it easy to do a quilt along or work on sections.
The deer appliqué is done with Heat n Bond Lite and then a straight stitch around the deer.
The star blocks are fun because you can use fabrics from your stash and make it super scrappy!
The Merry and Bright letters I totally cheated! It’s December after all – no time for tedious work! I used Heat n Bond Ultra for the letters which is a little heavier and stiffer than the Lite. Since the letters were thin I was willing to use the Ultra because that meant no sewing around each letter to secure! The all over quilting helps the appliqué blend right into the quilt! So if you’re afraid of letters don’t be!
I had the quilt quilted with an all over swirl and holly design and I’m super thrilled at how it turned out!!! I love it so much!!
First Fall Quilt Market – First fabric line with Riley Blake Designs!!!!
I’m so excited to share Scaredy Cat with you! It’s my first fabric line ever!
The fabric was first shown at Quilt Market and it was so much fun!
Here are some peeks into my booth at Quilt Market.
Today is Mufasa’s 5th birthday!! We are celebrating all day! He is the best cat in the whole world!!!
I made him his own little quilt. 5 leopard print kitty blocks for each of the 5 years.
Leopard cat blocks are my new favorite ever! I love the green hearts and accents – they totally match his eyes!
Mufasa is such a good little quilt model!
Those paws!!!
If you’d like to make your own Kitty Love Quilt you can find the pattern in my Etsy shop. You can easily swap out the hearts and cats and use any fabrics you like! It really does make a purrrrfect cat birthday quilt!
I’m super excited to be sharing my newest quilt pattern called “Farmhouse Charm”. This is one of my most favorite quilts ever!!!
The quilt is made up of 12″ blocks and measures 67″ x 81″. Each flower uses a fat eighth so it’s perfect for precut bundles! This version is made from Farmers Daughters fabrics by Moda. They are so relaxed and soft! You can find the quilt pattern in my Etsy Shop.
Mufasa is a huge fan!
I fell in love with this fabric line called “Something Borrowed” by Riley Blake Designs. I had so much fun making another version of this quilt with the blue tones! It’s going on the end of my bed!!! I LOVE it!
The quilt uses half square triangles and there are a lot of them, but its totally worth it!
Mufasa can’t’ wait for this version to get quilted so it can be his new nappy place!
I am so excited to be the featured designer for the International Association of Quilters!

I designed this block for the Night Sky Mystery quilt. You can use any colors, I’m in a fall kind of mood lately!
I love the cat print – the fabrics are from Riley Blake Designs.
Every month there is a new designer featuring a mystery quilt block. We won’t know what the quilt looks like until the end of the year!

I put together a project using just the quilt block and some borders. You can find the instructions to make the mini quilt over at IAQ.
The quilt measures 23″ square and it uses my mystery night sky block as the center.
Mufasa loves having a new quilt 🙂
