The Ruby Ruler™ is now just over a year old. Hard for me to believe! I had so much fun creating that product and getting it to market. There’s is a huge amount of satisfaction around thinking of “hey, what if…”, seemingly kooky idea (at first), and actually making it happen. Ruby Rulers have now shipped all over the world and I’ve now restocked 4 times!
Late last year, I once again recognized that familiar itch to design a new product creeping in. I was stitching a new version of the Boro quilt from Wise Craft Quilts for the live stitching sessions of #wisecraftstitchalong in my Facebook Group.
Welcome to Week Two of our Boro Quilt #wisecraftstitchalong. If you are unsure as to what this is, or want to start at the beginning of the stitchalong, read all the details here.READ MORE
Ready for your Week One assignment? I just finished up our first live video** in the Wise Craft Quilts FB Group for the Boro quilt and wanted to recap here (because some of us hate Facebook and I totally get that!).READ MORE

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

We will soon be starting our 4th stitch along in the Wise Craft Quilts Facebook Group (now archived, but look for the video from this stitch along on the Wise Craft Youtube channel). We’ve had great fun stitching these projects together (you can see some of the projects in the #wisecraftstitchalong hashtag on Instagram. Our stitch alongs are casual, and focus on or expand on techniques from my book Wise Craft Quilts. Its been a great way to give myself a little permission to just stitch something new, revisit the projects from that book, and sew up new versions.
For this next one, I was inspired a bit by the sunny skies and warmer temperatures we are having in Seattle right now. I’m thinking tropical!READ MORE
