Sew it begins…my quilting journey.
This is the exact spot where another phase of my quilting journey begins.

Got a beautiful view out my window and quilting opportunities on the horizon!
I write this very first post from our condo at the beach. Unlike my home in the midwest, this place has wifi…unlimited. How is a blog part of my quilting journey? Follow along and let’s learn together!
Updates along the journey:
Firstly, when I began this blog, I was trying to get a quilting book published. (A blog is necessary to be considered for publication.)Turns out…my book idea wasn’t a good idea at all! However, as these things go, I learned a lot. Same with this blog: I thought a blog was about writing! I had no idea it was about coding, SEO, algorithms, widgets, plug-ins and much, much more!
Use BOTH beautiful sides! Patterns and more!
Secondly, I developed a line of quilt patterns based on a happy accident! Read about Phoebee and all her friends throughout this site. Learn how VALUE is key to using both beautiful sides of fabric in The Tricky Traits of Value. This itinerary change has helped me make lots of fun quilter friends along the way as I teach classes and give presentations to guilds about using both sides of fabric!
Phoebee was the start of more than 50 quilt patterns that use both beautiful sides of fabric!
A third big detour in my quilting journey came when I began learning to design my own fabrics and merchandise! See fabrics and home decor in my Spoonflower shop!
Check out Pensacola Dreamin… and How to Put a Little Punch In Your Summer for some fun beach quilts, punch needle, and pondering.
As this journey continues I will update this very first blog post. I hope you’ll continue to follow and embrace your own journey!
