My Quilt is on QUILTY!
This past winter I was approached by Mary Fons about bringing in one of my quilts to the set of Quilty, and you can see this special episode of “This is My Quilt” right now!
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.
Geometric Quilt Block Pillow Class
Doesn’t this look like a fun class? It’s a hands-on event they held at The Sewing Room in Tucson, AZ, for their new B 750 sewing machine owners. They had lots of fun sewing Erika’s Geometric Quilt Block Pillow. Thanks, Mary, for sharing this photo!

QR Code Quilts from Georgia Bonesteel
Georgia Bonesteel made her first QR quilt for her son Paul at www.bonesteelfilms.com and because her son-in-law was so jealous she did one for his office at CocaCola. The top PR person at CocaCola called about featuring it on their blog!
Personalized Director’s Chair
A removeable sleeve for a directors chair – what a super idea! Plus a lovely 50th anniversary gift idea. Thank you, Katherine, for the inspiration!
Kinsley Sews and Serges Pajamas and Pillowcases
Melanie McFarland’s niece, Kinsley, used her aunt’s BERNINA 830 sewing machine and 2500DCET serger to make pajama pants and pillowcases. She did a super job – they’re adorable. Way to go, Kinsley!
Fun Things Your Can Do with a BERNINA Sewing Machine
Ginger Pahos sent me photos of some gorgeous – and super cute! – children’s clothes she made. Don’t you wish you were 4-years old again with a closet full of dresses, jackets, and pants like these? What fun!
