A quieter remake of the Groovy Checkerboard quilt, shaped by scraps, value, and simple construction.

January isn’t about reinvention—it’s about moving forward, thoughtfully and intentionally. Which Way? invites you to begin, one step at a time.

What started as a simple plan to build a quilt-pattern business grew into a year of quilts, solid infrastructure, and unexpected momentum.

This quilt began with a tile floor and a Taylor Swift track stuck in my head. I thought it would be bright. I thought it would be Bejeweled. But forest tones shifted everything. Evermore became a quieter kind of bold—the kind that glows instead of shouts. A breath of green. A turn toward calm. Gracie approved.

Not sewing right now. Not because I don’t want to, but because I’m playing digital chicken with myself and trying to win.

I often say, "you’ve got to go slow before you can go fast"—and in the best laid plan, I ignored my own advice.

On slowing down, staying grounded, and letting small steps carry the work forward.

October Forest grew from the first clear skies of autumn, where green fades to gold and the world feels wide open again.

A quiet introduction to the 100 Quilt Project—where it began, what sparked the idea, and how structure can create space for creativity. Featuring the very first quilt, Ripple, and a behind-the-scenes glimpse at what keeps the work moving

Not every quilt starts with a burst of inspiration.
Some begin with a block that feels just... fine. Not terrible, not thrilling. Just fine. And then something unexpected happened…

Going from concrete blocks to berry sorbet might sound ridiculous. It was. But quilting cozy blankets while the world bakes has never made much sense anyway—and maybe that’s the real art of seasonal denial.

What started as a simple two-color idea turned into bold movement, bright contrast, and an accidental bit of modern art

Sometimes you need a quilt that feels like a deep breath. Moody Blues was my answer to the oncoming rush of summer—a quiet experiment in calm, hand-dyed color, and simple, flowing design.

Lavender Haze started as a fabric pile and a stubborn idea. I wanted a quilt that captured the calm of a lavender gradient—but it took a few wrong turns (and one terrible grey moment) to get there. The result is modern and mod. Creative progress isn't always linear.

This isn’t just the story of a quilt (though there is one—two, actually). It’s also the story of how a structured goal turned into a creative rhythm, how building systems unlocked unexpected freedom, and how one very good dog supervised it all from her spot in the sun.
