  • The Let’s Stay Home quilt pattern launches today! One day I was just too tired to go anywhere and thought “why can’t I just stay home?” - and the idea for this quilt was born. 😂 It’s a fun row quilt pattern that features a combination of Star and House quilt blocks. It will be part of a Summer Quilt Along starting in May! Grab the details thru the link in my bio. You can also click the photo to go to the shop. (Note: if you plan to buy one of the Riley Blake quilt kits - it will come with a pattern) .

  • Spending the week celebrating in “the happiest place”  with my 3 kiddos. They all seem to have had the audacity to graduate from something at the same time. The nerve! 😂 Two are graduating high school and one just graduated from college. 🎓 It will be interesting to see what this new phase of our life brings. I have to be honest. I’m not looking forward to empty nesting 😳. 📸 credit: my 17 yr old .

  • Full disclosure- those are not the only two pair of Wellies that I own. 😜 I “may” just have a nice little collection of them. In my defense, it rains all. the. time. in Kentucky. So they are all “well loved”. 🌧 ☔️ Sharing a tiny sneak peek at a new pattern AND row along for my #foxfarmfabric line. From what I can tell, the fabric is hitting stores now! Have you spied it yet ? I’ll announce all the details for the row along as soon as I find out when the kits (yes I said kits 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻) are due to arrive. .
