The juried show at QuiltCon 2017 was amazing! This was my third QuiltCon and each year the design and craftsmanship of the work tops the previous year. Enjoy just some of my favorite quilts from the show:

secret project part 2 revealed (and a FREE pattern with an awesome contest/giveaway)!
I am so excited to share with you the second part of my secret project (and a FREE pattern along with an awesome contest/giveaway). In early 2016, I designed a mini quilt, entitled So Many Colors, as a donation to the Quilt Alliance annual fundraiser. The theme was “Playing Favorites” and the mini quilt incorporated my favorite […]

Today is a big day! QuiltCon 2017 kicks off AND I finally get to share the first part of a big project I’ve been working on for a while! It’s been really difficult to NOT share progress photos on social media or this blog. I’m incredibly excited and honored to reveal 270 Colors, a quilt […]

Staying true to myself (planning for my first Quilt Market with 3 months to prepare).

Earlier this year, I was considering attending my first Quilt Market. 2016 has been a “start-up” year for Whole Circle Studio. I had the credentials to attend Market as an attendee and thought it would be helpful to check it out. If you told me at the beginning of the year that I/Whole Circle Studio would be […]

Inspired by the design of a camera shutter, I originally created a variation of this quilt as a thank you gift for a friend who is a professional photographer. This design incorporates a paper pieced block repeated 8 times. […]
