What started as a way to kickstart my creativity has turned into a goal: 100 quilt patterns. I release a new one each month until I get there. What happens at 100? No idea. I’ll probably keep going.
When the Air Clears
October Forest grew from the first clear skies of autumn, where green fades to gold and the world feels wide open again.
Notes from the Beginning
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
From Meh to Glow
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…
Concrete, Heat, and Seasonal Denial
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.
Oops, it’s modern art
What started as a simple two-color idea turned into bold movement, bright contrast, and an accidental bit of modern art
Following Color and a (Loose) Plan
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.
Hazy Shades of Greige
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.
Goals, Growth, and Grac(i)e
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.
