Inspired Modern Quilts Craftsy class giveaway

It's hard to believe that it's been several months since I filmed two classes for Craftsy! For those of you who aren't familiar with Craftsy, it's a website where you can take video classes on a number of DIY topics. Craftsy classes are great because you can watch them at home, at any time of the day or night. You have access to the class forever, which means you can work at your own pace and revisit any part of the class as many times as you want (in your pajamas in the middle of the night, if you like).

Modern Patchwork: Winterkist Rapid City Quilt Progress

This is part of a year-long series of posts about the quilts from Modern Patchwork. I'm highlighting a different quilt each month, and will be remaking each of the book quilts in some way. This month, I'm making a new version of the Rapid City quilt, which is on Pages 42 - 51 in Modern Patchwork. 

I'm making progress on the Rapid City holiday quilt that I started last week.

Ruby Star Wrap-Along

Today is my stop on the Blog Tour/Wrap-Along for Melody Miller and Alison Tannery's new book, Ruby Star Wrapping. Subtitled "Creating Gifts to Reuse, Regive & Relove" Ruby Star Wrapping is all about creating beautiful gift wrap from found materials.

Modern Patchwork: Rapid City Quilt

This is part of a year-long series of posts about the quilts from Modern Patchwork. I'm highlighting a different quilt each month, and will be remaking each of the book quilts in some way. This month, I'm making a new version of the Rapid City quilt, which is on Pages 42 - 51 in Modern Patchwork.

The Rapid City quilt is so named because it was inspired by Vandamm's (James Mason's) awesome Mt. Rushmore-adjacent hideout in North by Northwest. 

Kicking it Old School

After seeing everyone's Farmer's Wife blocks popping up on Flickr and Instagram, I finally caved and started making some myself.
