Footprint Flip-Flop Quilt

I made this “Flip Flop” quilt a number of years ago. My son Matthew’s friend Alexis came over to help me make the quilt. We painted her feet and it did take a couple of tries but we were able to put them on the material without too many imperfections.


Modern Blossoms for Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! I’m so excited to be guest-blogging for We All Sew today because I have something I can’t wait to share. My first embroidery collection, Modern Blossoms, is coming out in just a couple of weeks at Quilt Market! You know that I’m a huge fan of the B 580 and all things BERNINA so naturally I’m very excited.

Katherine sent photos of a last-minute gift-wrapping project – beautiful! She had no wrapping paper, but plenty of fabric, so she made this precious wrap – which ended up being as big a hit as the gift!
