Hi All,

So, I think I have found my new favorite long arm quilting tool! I am having so much fun learning how to use my 3D Threader. It allows me to give some really fun texture and depth to the quilts that I am working on. I just loaded a flannel quilt onto my machine and started working on it with the 3D threader. I am loving the results!

Hi all,

Last week I had the opportunity to quilt some really fun circles on a quilt for a customer. She had done a lovely job piecing and pressing the quilt top, so my job was super easy.

Hi All,

A few weeks ago I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a conference S.U.G.A.R. which allowed me to learn so very much about my new Gammill Statler quilting machine. While I was there, I saw a new product called the "3D Threader" which allows for up to 3 different threads to be used at the same time on the machine.


I have a quilt top that I have been working on for about 5 years now. It is made up of different fabrics from a line called "Lonestar State" and was supposed to be completed while I was still living in Georgia to give me a little piece of home. The joke was that I was going to have moved back to Texas before the quilt was done. My how things can change. Since I'm staying in Nebraska indefinitely now, I thought it would be good for me to finish it. I knew I wanted a red, white, and blue thread to be used on it, so I decided to try out my 3D threader using a red, a blue and a metallic silver thread. I was super happy with the results.




I've got a few more projects in the works that I'm really excited about! Be on the lookout for fun and exciting quilts in the near future. Until next time, Happy Sewing!

Hi all,


I was digging around in my studio the other day and look what I found! ELEPINKS!



These cute little guys are part of an embroidery design pack by Nancy H. Barrett for OESD a few years ago and, since I LOVE elephants... they were on the top of my list of things to do... then I moved, got married, you know, life happened. SO.... I've got to get back to these guys! They are so stinkin cute! Until next time, Happy Sewing!

Hi all,

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to embroider the name, weight and birthdate of a new baby for a customer. I had a lot of fun putting the embroidery on the quilt for her, especially since she had done such a nice job piecing it!

Hi all,



Today I decided to be slightly selfish while I was at the studio sewing. I spent the majority of the time I was there working on the border blocks for a purely personal project! I have been working on this monstrosity of a quilt for over three years now (it's going to finish at about 120 inches by 120 inches square!) and I am hoping that sometime in the coming months it will be finished so that I can QUILT IT! I fell in love with this line from BasicGrey when it came out. It is called Eva and has some lovely peacocks and colors in the collection.

Hi all,

I recently had the opportunity to make a t-shirt quilt as a graduation gift for the daughter of a family friend. I was really happy with how it turned out. I've really enjoyed the handful of t-shirt quilts I've been able to work on lately. Designing them is really fun and I like seeing all the interesting and different shirts that people send me. The shirts in this quilt were mainly soccer, as the recipient is an awesome soccer player who is planning on playing in college. I really enjoyed making this quilt, and judging by the reaction of the recipient, I think she likes it too :)




Hope you liked this one. Happy sewing!

Hi all,

Today I was able to finish piecing two more quilts. I have to finish sewing the blocks together in one, and add borders on the other but I am really excited to be getting so many projects to a stage of completion! The first one is a quilt made from two layer cakes from the "Fresh Squeezed" collection by Sandy Gervais. Its going to be HUGE once the borders on it. I think it finishes at about 90 inches by 108 inches! This one is going on etsy as soon as its quilted and bound.



Stay tuned for more pictures of finished projects and of the quilting of the many quilts waiting at the studio! Until then, happy sewing!

Hi all,

I  don't know if you know about her, but Tula Pink is one of my absolute favorite fabric designers. One of her recent collections was called "Prince Charming". Well, I bought some of each of the four focus fabrics that have cute frog princes and have been contemplating what exactly I should do with it! Well, tonight, I finally figured it out :) It took 3 of the focus fabrics and then 20 medium prints and 20 darkish prints.











Happy Sewing!
