Here’s the kind of stuff I think about when I’m laying in bed at night: What will I do when Scrappy goes off to college? What is that thing stuck to the ceiling? Oh, and WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHAMBRAY AND DENIM??
My fellow quiltsplorers (that's supposed to be a mashup of "quilters" and "explorers." Did it work?), I bring to you today an adventure! Well, not just an adventure, an experience. My friends at Experience Park Tours have asked me to let you in on a fun trip they have planned.
The Rocksteady quilt pattern is now available for instant PDF download! Click here to get it. This quilt comes in king, queen/full, twin, throw, and baby quilt sizes.
There's so much I want to share with you about this dynamic, beginner-friendly quilt pattern, I almost don't know where to start!

Last week we journeyed into the wonderful history of polka dots. (FYI, there is an aaaaamazing video that you shouldn't miss.) Now that you are total polka buffs, we're moving onto...paisley! We all know what paisley is, right? It’s that iconic fabric pattern featuring the teardrop shape.
Before getting too far into dots, don't forget to check out the brief history of paisley too! OK ok, now snuggle up, readers. I'm about to tell you a beautiful and passion-filled story about the history of polka dots. You think you're not interested??
Let me preface this standing desk / sewing studio post with this: sit, stand, squat, kneel – work however feels right to you and don’t feel bad about it. I hate when self-help bloggers tell me how to live my life and that’s the last thing I want to do here.
Many people start their quilting journey because of a desire to make a memory quilt. Memory quilts incorporate sentimental fabrics or clothing in a way that can be used and enjoyed for years. I've actually been asked many times to make memory quilts for people, but know what I would much rather do?
This post will cover the question that has been burning passionately in your heart. The question you can't seem to get out of your head no matter how hard you try. The question you must have an answer to! What are the BEST pins for quilting??
