Time Flies

Wow, has it really been over 3 months since my last confession blog? A lot has happened in that time, but the bottom line is I'm still working on getting my quilt business off the ground. I've done freelance writing and editing work for lots of great people and companies in the last 3 months, including some projects that make me really proud. Check out:

I also covered a maternity leave for the online editor for Fons & Porter and McCall's Quilting brands from the beginning of November to the middle of February. So...I've been keeping busy, and I feel very blessed to have the opportunity to work with all these amazingly talented people. And there are more collaborations in the pipeline - very exciting!

On the home front, I've been working on the 2 twin size Log Cabin quilts for my guest room, and hand quilting a wall hanging for a friend. I've also been doing something a little different when I need to make a test block or two for any project I'm patterning or editing. This year, whenever that need arises, I'm using fabrics from a single Moda fat quarter pack (Madame Rouge by French General). I figure at the end of 2017, I'll have enough blocks for a unique sampler quilt, and only have to work out how to assemble them into something pleasing. Can't wait to see how that all comes together...

Watch for more blog posts in the near future. I'm going to be quilting up a storm!
