My favorite finish will probably always be the #emojiquilt I made with my son’s fifth grade class. It never fails to bring a smile to my face when I see it. Currently it’s about an hour away at camp with the young man. #bernina125 #sweepstakes

2 quilts!!! Woohoo!!!

And this is how I prevent myself from using the wrong opening to cut my blocks!! I love using one ruler to create all different sizes, but I don’t always pay close enough attention to what I am doing. Problem solved! #classiccurvesruler @colorgirlquilts

I am heading into some secret sewing today, cutting into this beautiful bundle from the talented @lizzieclarkdesigns The fabric line is called Wonder Full and is from @sweetbeefabric.co It will be shipping to stores the end of this month and there will be a blog hop celebration with some fabulous makers. So stay tuned!!

A flower kaleidoscope. I was checking out the new children’s garden at the Franklin Conservatory here in Columbus and they had kaleidoscopes aimed at a flower pot. It was so incredible to look at! I managed to grab this picture through the kaleidoscope before some little ones came over to investigate. I backed away and then had to find my guys who had taken off to explore while my back was turned. . My kids were begging to go back and I’m looking forward to it too. If you live in central Ohio be sure to come check this out. And if you are bringing children be prepared they will get wet.

Sometimes one project can fulfill many goals. I need to practice improv and curves. I also needed to work on a challenge for @centralohiomqg I pulled out my leftover Wonderland fabric and @colorgirlquilts #classiccurvesruler and went at it. A little while later; ✔️✔️ and ✔️. . The challenge was to take a basic, traditional quilt block and ‘modernize’ it. Members of the guild had a pile of blocks to choose from, I chose the quarter circle block. It was a good day.
