Get them while they last! I added a few more Sashiko Starter kits to the shop. These were created for the Sashiko #wisecraftstitchalong I hosted last year, and there still seems to be a steady demand for them. READ MORE
During my online workshop Dream, Learn, Quilt! I have offered a one hour Skype/Facetime call to early enrollees. I am very excited to begin offering online quilting consultations to everyone! Feedback have always been resoundingly positive. Talking an idea through can really help to move past pondering and into action.READ MORE
The Found and Foraged Collection has been an idea in the making for a long time. My thought was to create a way to inspire me to keep producing original work. So often, when a creative passion turns into a business, the process can become overwhelmingly uninspiring. It can seem like too much computer work, not enough playing with fabric and thread. I don’t want that to happen. So why not challenge myself to create new pieces of art? New pieces that allow me to play with new creative ideas, concepts, and materials. It has been pure joy to work on these pieces.
Many of you who stitched along with me during the #wisecraftstitchalong Sashiko Coaster series wanted a light colorway option in addition to the navy blue one offered in the complete kit, and I’m happy to say that its here! READ MORE
Introducing Interwoven. Another new quilt design using the Ruby Ruler™ . Simple, yet impactful quilt design all by just playing with value.
I’m not sure why, but simple repeating shapes like the ones in this quilt make me so happy. Each “unit” or block is the same configuration, but also little bit different from the others when made in a scrappy way. READ MORE
When I was getting to know the different prototypes of what eventually became The Ruby Ruler™, of course I had to design some quilts. I wanted to really push the idea of studying fabric values. There’s no better way to play around with this idea than to dig in my scrap bins. READ MORE

Many have asked, and I’m happy to say I was able to get a few more Sashiko Stitching kits! (sold out for now). We are using these to stitch up our current #wisecraftstitchalong we have going on in the Wise Craft YouTube Challen, and have more than enough supplies to continue stitching Sashiko on lots of things once you’ve got the hang of it.

One of my favorite sections in Wise Craft Quilts, is the one about quilt labels. To me, this was a section that had to be included in the book- sewing a label on to the back of a quilt is such a huge part of the storytelling process. In the book are full sized labels in the book that can be printed out at home (I use these ink jet printable fabric sheets) and filled in. Even better? A set of all five labels, ready to use are available in my shop.)
While writing the book, I reached out to some of my favorite artists and asked them to design a quilt label. I was over the moon with what they sent back! Each label speaks to the style of the artist who made it, and interprets the idea of labelling a quilt in their own unique way. I’ll be posting interviews with each of these very inspiring women! Today is my interview with the super talented Pam Garrison. I’m asking her a little about her work, inspiration, work space, and her thoughts on creating a label for Wise Craft Quilts.
