Dream Weaver Quilt

Children are born with an untamed sense of creativity. Give a child a box of crayons and you may end up with flying giraffes or polka-dot elephants. They don’t care how it’s “supposed” to look; they draw what they like. But as we grow older, we start to worry about following the rules. For me, quilting is a wonderful way to get back to my creative roots. I love to take chances and try new colors and patterns.

Today’s new quilt is a fun jelly roll pattern, and while Jenny uses a beautiful jelly roll for her quilt, don’t be afraid to choose something different! Right now I’m loving the Soul Mate Jelly Roll, but if it’s not quite your style, choose something you truly love! Click HERE to watch the tutorial and be sure to share a pic of your version of the Dream Weaver Quilt!

Josh’s Star Quilt Tutorial

Bouquets of roses. Long walks on the beach. Beautiful lines of poetry. There are plenty of ways to sweep a girl off her feet, but if you ask me, Jenny’s son Josh has romance down to an art. He teaches his dates to quilt!

A while back, Josh and his special lady friend stopped by the Sewing Center. They selected a few pretty scraps and stitched up a fun new star block. Talk about a night to remember! Click HERE to learn how to make Josh’s Star!

It’s always fun to see blocks made into other fabrics so here is Josh’s Star made from a Sycamore Layer Cake by Jan Patek for Moda Fabrics. To get this Layer Cake click HERE.
