When I first designed Cabin Peaks, early this year, it was solely an ombre quilt like my Pantone Cabin Peaks. It wasn't until I was looking at FIGO's website and landed on their Rollakan collection, that I started playing with more color within the quilt's rows. It seems crazy to me that I'm writing this sentence, but

Joyful Stars quilt pattern is now available in the shop! Every once in a while, when motivation is off and sitting at either my sewing machine or my computer sounds akin to torture, I take out some paper and pencil and sit down to doodle. I draw random shapes, other times shapes that might become a quilt block. Joyful

YAY! Happy release day! I've been super anxious about this day and have written and rewritten this post in my head probably about a thousand times. As crazy as it sounds this pattern has been in the works for 6, 7 months? A long time. At some point last year I promised my best friend that I'd make her a quilt. I wasn't

Happy pattern release day! The Andes Ode Quilt Pattern is here! I first sketched out this pattern idea last year, after a long trip down the rabbit hole that is Pinterest and Google Images. For the second half of 2018 I felt a lost of nostalgia for my home country, Chile. I was born, raised, and lived until I was 15 in

After putting it off for a few weeks and having to stop for another project in between, I finally finished my Alice Butterfly Quilt! I love, love butterflies so when I found this pattern by Elizabeth Hartman, it was a no-brainer. I purchased it faster than you can say “butterfly”. And I couldn’t not do it in purple sin

As I delved into the world of modern quilting, one project kept popping up at me: Modern Hexies. As soon as I saw them, I knew I had to make them but didn't know where to get started. After a quick search, I discovered Nicole, the Queen of Modern Hexies, and got started on my own Modern Hexies quest!

This past month I had the honor to pattern test for the amazing Erin of The Blanket Statement once again. I first pattern tested for Erin over the summer when she released her first pattern, Pine Falls Quilt. I had a lot of fun doing it and loved it. Sadly because life got really busy, I was not able to pattern test fo

Memi's Lemons Quilt Pattern is now available on my shop! I will begin by saying I don't really know where to begin with this one, hah. This is one of the most, if not THE most, meaningful pattern I've design and I think that's what makes it hard to talk about. This is the fastest idea to release pattern I've released.

From the get-go, I knew I wanted to make at least two versions of Stellar Mosaic. The first would be my Ruby Star Society one as they were sending me the fabric and I knew I wanted the second one to be an all-solids version. And that's where I got stumped. I'll be completely honest. I had a really hard time coming up w

It’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through April! The year is just flying by, faster than I can keep up with it. I meant to share this modern flying geese quilt last week, but the whole week went by in a blink. I’ve wanted to do a flying geese quilt for a while, but I’ll admit I’ve been a little scared of those

The Starlight quilt pattern is now available in the shop I'm so excited to be sharing my second sample of the Starlight quilt pattern today - except this was the first sample I made, hah!

Phew, another Lemoyne Star in the books! I have so much to say about this mini quilt and yet the words escape. I started this mini quilt the last week of March after hearing about the Pantone Quilt Challenge hosted by Brian House Quilts and No Hats in the House. Maybe it’s Pantone’s marketing materials or my brief Astr

I am so, so excited to share this quilt with you all! I already shared the cover Stellar Flare quilt, but this is the original one! When working on a new pattern, I always make a sample while I try out the design and construction. And it's a good, good thing I do because this quilt changed drastically from this version

I am so excited to share the last pattern of 2020 - Whirlwind! This pattern was designed during a doodling session in the middle of the (first) coronavirus lockdown. The structured chaos reminded me of what 2020 has been a bit like - like being caught in a windstorm, being pull this way and that. After doing some quick
