Now that we've had our January PMQG meeting, I can show you photos of the quilt I made for the Madrona Road Challenge!

Thank you so much to everyone for entering the giveaway and for your nice words about the quilt and Violet's fabric.

Thank you so much to everyone who entered! 

Madrona Road Neighborhood

I wanted to show you a quilt that I made for my friend, Violet Craft, to show off her new collection for Michael Miller, Madrona Road. 

Ruby Star Mod Mosaic Quilt: Process

I've been trying for months to figure out just what I wanted to do with Melody Miller's awesome-giant-bee-featuring Ruby Star Spring, and I finally decided that a new Mod Mosaic quilt was the way to go.

Sparkle Punch Quilt: Fabric Selection

My local sewing circle did a handmade gift exchange this past weekend and, now that it's no longer a secret, I would love to tell you about what I made.

The only good thing about living in the suburbs . . .

 
 . . . is that you can stage a photo shoot in the street without getting in anyone's way!  Okay, that's obviously an exaggeration. I'm lucky to have a nice home in a safe neighborhood. I'm just reaaalllllly looking forward to moving away from here.

Updated Mod Sampler Quilt Pattern

 

The Mod Sampler Quilt-Along was the first quilt-along I ever did on my blog.  To date, there are more than 450 members and 1,000 photos in the Mod Sampler Flickr Pool.  I've been overwhelmed by the response to this pattern, and it's been so much fun to see so many different versions of this quilt popping up around blogland!

Echino Improv Quilt: Fabric Choices

Shortly after I finished writing my last post, I got a package in the mail with these gorgeous new Echino prints. 

Fun with Ruby Star Rising

Melody Miller's new Ruby Star Rising collection for Kokka was my favorite from Fall Market, and I felt honored and ridiculously excited when Melody herself sent me some of it to play with.
