I love to quilt, cook, and read. I love feeding the birds, Imos pizza, bonfires, Disney, peonies, Taylor Swift, gummy candy, cats, leaves changing in the Fall, cookbooks, and fresh tortillas.
This was another sew along. This one was a mystery and I love the finished product. I love the sunset colors against the black background. I quilted it with grape colored thread and used the pantograph called Skedaddle from Sew Shabby Quilting.

I don’t know how I ended up on the mahjong side of the internet but I did. Being the game-lover that I am, I was intrigued. I watched a bunch of videos to teach myself and asked for a set for an early birthday present. I have loved playing with my fam and now I hope to find a group to play with.

I am way behind on sharing what I’ve been working on. This was a sew along with Karen Montgomery over the summer. I figured I’d get a jump-start on Halloween! I love the way it turned out. I decided to try a flange binding and I definitely need more practice!

This was the second of my brown bag mystery quilts this year. I love the classic look of the solids. I feel like the colors are perfect for my brother so I gifted it to him. I was definitely tempted to keep it though! #quiltsky

I recently finished this mystery quilt. This is my second year participating and I have so much fun watching the pattern unfold piece by piece. I actually did two this year and the second is all solids so it will be fun to see them next to each other when I finish.

I made this for my friend and neighbor. I love the rich colors with touches of gold. I feel like it suits her and I hope she loves it. I love being able to share my craft with people I care about. #quiltsky

I made this quilted tote bag for my nephew. He’s turning 6 so I thought the sharks would be kind of fun? I figured he could use this to carry his toys or Legos when he goes to hang out with his cousins. It was a nice quick make. #quiltsky

I made English muffins! I’ve been wanting to try these for awhile but I guess I thought they’d be more complicated than that were. I love how fluffy these are. I can’t wait to have one for breakfast tomorrow! #food

I really enjoyed making some jellyroll placemats so I decided to try a small rug. I made this purple rug to coordinate with the quilt I just made my daughter. #quiltsky

It still needs binding but I was too excited to share. This has been the most fun but also challenging quilt and I’m so glad I was able to complete it for my daughter. It’s Drip by Taralee Quiltery.

I tried my hand at making a jelly roll placemat. I watched some videos of someone making one online and felt like it was something I could do. I’m happy with the outcome and looking forward to making more and playing with color. #quiltsky

I finally got the binding on the table runner using Bahamian batiks. I opted to alternate strips of orange and blue and I really like the effect. #quiltsky

I finished the bag I was working on. It’s the XL tote from ByAnnie’s Two Big Totes (see cats for scale!). I’m really happy with how it turned out. I will use it to take all my stuff with me when I go to club day at my quilt shop. #quiltsky

I started another quilt today. I got the first round of blocks finished. This will be for my uncle who likes to fish. Quilting is my escape and these days I find myself wanting to do it as often as I can. #quiltsky

We grilled burgers the other night and I decided to make my own burger buns. I’ve really be trying to make most of the breads we use at home. These were out of 3 Doughs 60 Recipes by Lacey Osterman and they were very easy and turned out great. #food

After I finished the quilt, I couldn’t help but stitch up a couple more baby items. I was gifted personalized burp cloths when my first was born and I loved that I knew they wouldn’t get mixed up at daycare so I love to gift the same to new moms. #quiltsky

I got to work on quilting this project today. It’s supposed to have a jungle theme so I chose this fun pantograph from My Creative Stitches. Everything they do stitches so smoothly. #quiltsky

I recently purchased 3 Doughs 60 Recipes from Lacey Osterman (@_lacebakes_ on IG). I’ve been trying various focaccia recipes and want to give a sweet one a try. This is her hot chocolate version. It didn’t disappoint. Think chocolate croissant: it’s airy and sweet enough without being cloying. #food

We recently went on vacation and made a stop in Nassau. I decided I want to find some fabric to bring back to make a table runner as a reminder of our visit. I found these beautiful batiks and decided on this simple, modern pattern to highlight them. Can’t wait to get it quilted and bound! #quiltsky

This is the second batch of focaccia I made from lacebakes on IG. It turns out so squishy and delicious, I’m going to have to steadily try every variation. This one had mozzarella cheese and garlic folded in and then more mozzarella and garlic butter on top. So delicious! #food

I finally got pictures taken of my Knitted Star from Lo and Behold Stitchery. I quilted it with Snowflake Cascade from My Creative Stitches. I think I’m going to gift it to someone who sees more snow than I do here in Houston. #quiltsky

Chicken tikka masala, roasted cauliflower , and fresh garlic naan! I was surprised that both of my girls loved it. I never know what they might like but this was a winner. #food
