Hello Everyone, Today I'm going to show you how to make this ribbon border which will be framing my Peek-a-Boo Pumpkins. I started by making 32 (HST) half-square triangles. I make my HST eight at a time using an easy method. You can watch this method by clicking HERE and viewing my video on The Quilt Show. There is a lot of information in my Patchwork Math videos. To soak it all in, you can watch them over and over again for free! Now that I've trimmed my HST to the correct size using a…

a quilt made out of colorful ribbons on the floor in front of a brown carpet

For years, I've had people ask me if I make ribbon quilts. And I've always just said that's not really what I do. But this time, I couldn't say no. This time it was my own family - my cousin Emily in Illinois. And I think maybe I'd gotten tempered to the idea by un-assuming Pinterest posts. At any rate, I'm so glad I agreed to try this, because I ended up really enjoying it! Emily sent me all the ribbons and rosettes that she'd saved up during her career in 4-H and FFA - most were livestock…

This week Rob is using half-square triangles to make the Ribbon Pole quilt. You may know it as a Pole Twist, Ribbon Twist, or even DNA quilt. Whatever the name, this pattern is quick, easy…

the quilts are laid out on the floor to be used as placemats

This is the second time I've gotten to make keepsake award-ribbon quilts for a customer. Last year I experimented on my cousin Emily, and this time, I was honored to be entrusted with the special ribbons and banners from an old friend in Iowa. I knew their kids as small children when I worked as the Director of Activities for the American Shorthorn Association. They were adorable little duffers at the time, and now the youngest one is graduating from high school! How is that possible?? Time…

a quilted wall hanging on the side of a building

Hello Everyone, This is the day I've been waiting for over the past few months. I'm revealing my finished, A Ribbon Runs Through It for Marcus Fabrics. I took this picture right before it went on the longarm. I thought it looked so pretty under the Dogwood tree. The fabric line is called Return to Elegance by Judie Rothermel for Marcus Fabrics. My designing journey started last Fall when I was contacted by Marcus Fabrics, and asked if I would design a quilt with Judie Rothermel's new fabric…
