It's funny how I think I am going to spotlight one of my quilt designs once a week, and I get about 5 weeks in (several months ago) and forget it for a while.  So, since Spring is here and I love, no LOVE this pattern - I figured it's a good time to spotlight one of my favorite designs.  I give you Dahlia!  Named, of course, because of the flowers in the quilt.  

This is also my first pattern where...

With most of my quilts, I design as I go. Sometimes it works out perfectly, and sometimes I am kicking myself because I wish I would have done something different. Because of the way I design, I have to take a break from my projects and work it out in my head before I do something drastic like "quilt what I can't take out." That would be awful. Truthfully - I can't and won't ever take out my...

I finally have jumped on board with PDF downloads.  I can't believe how long it has taken me to get this done, talk about tedious and redundant work.  After several weeks of working out all the kinks - I can finally say that most of my patterns are now available as PDF downloads. Yay!  And from now on all my patterns will be available in paper and PDF files. Took me long enough, sorry! Best thing...

Thanks to all the words of encouragement from my last post.  It gave me the kick in the pants I needed to get quilting on this thing.  I like it so far, but this is just a tiny part of the quilt and I have lots more quilting to go.

I decided that I have to keep my sanity in tack so I am working on a few projects here and there.  This block is Camille's Swoon - I am sure you already know that,...

Quilted Bag - nothing to do with the post, but just a nice picture to break up the ugly one below! :)

I always feel guilty when I haven't posted for a while - it's been a week and I feel like I owe an apology to you readers, so sorry! I have had a ton going on, that's for sure. From helping Clint catch up with all the orders, to dealing with taxes and renewing my license, add in kindergarten shots...

Okay, finally some pictures of this super cute quilt. I have quilted for Marlene before - here and here, so third quilt for her and I had so much fun with this quilt. It was the first time I used my new curved rulers - I love how fun it was using a new tool that gives me more options as far as the quilting is concerned. So, before I go on about the quilting, here are the quilt facts in Marlene's...

You cry like a baby all the way home and pray you will go back very soon!   First time in Hawaii (Maui) - and I know I am in love.  How can I put into words how incredible this getaway was for me and Clint.  I can't, but I will try........ 

So 10 years - it's crazy to think that we have been married for 10 years, not because it went by super fast, but because of how much has happened in 10...

I have this quilt done - I have all the pictures taken and loaded on the computer, but I am up way too late trying to narrow down 46 pictures to 10 and it just isn't working!  So, instead you get a little teaser and when I get back from Hawaii - oh I could just pinch myself - then I will post on this quilt and the new ruler I used.  

Grandma and Aunt Amy are here to watch the kids while Clint and...
