FROM THE
JOURNAL
Stories Stitched Together
Every quilt begins with an idea, but the story doesn't end there. Here in my quilting journal, I share the inspiration behind my quilts, life in the studio, quilting tips, works in progress, and the little moments that remind me why I love this craft. I hope these stories encourage you to create, explore, and find beauty in the everyday.
NEWEST
STORY
Let There Be Light
Installing twelve track lights sounded simple—until the project involved drywall dust, tangled wires, a barking Labrador, an attic injury, and a week-long delay.
LATEST
STORIES
The Longarm Has Landed
Nine boxes, seven hours of installation, two curious dogs, and a quilting studio that suddenly felt much smaller than it used to. My new longarm had officially landed—and with it came equal parts excitement, chaos, and the realization that I had a whole lot to learn.
Bedroom to Quilting Studio
Can a 10' × 12' spare bedroom really become a quilting studio—with room for a longarm? Armed with an Illustrator floor plan, a tape measure, and a little optimism, I decided to find out.
The Luna Moth
A chance encounter with an injured Luna moth becomes the inspiration for a miniature art quilt—and a reminder to notice the small things.
BEYOND
THE QUILT
Stories from My Quilting Journal
My quilting journal is as much about the moments along the way as the finished piece. Here I share the ideas, discoveries, mishaps, and everyday experiences that become part of the work.
