Mini Churn Dash This mini quilt just might be one of my favorites! Sometimes it’s fun to do something different – lately it seems I’ve been making large quilts – and I was ready for something a little more immediate. Don’t be scared off by the small pieces…they aren’t THAT small! The half square triangles …
This is one of the most fun quilts I’ve made in a long time! It started when I found a stack of these brightly colored Emily’s Star blocks in my sewing room! Having no more of the fabric, I dug through my stash and pulled all the coordinating fabrics I could find. This is what …
October 2022 Here I am again – when it rains it pours!! I decided to jot down the instructions for this ‘Mock Pineapple’ I’ve been playing with. It’s the most fun! Made from the scrap fabrics I keep in my 5″ and 3 1/2″ bins. This is the block I’ve been demoing at guilds and …
October 24, 2022 Hello friends! Recently I fell in love with a new Layer Cake that came into the shoppe…every day, I’d pick it up and think “what can I do with this?” It wasn’t long before the idea for a Courthouse Steps Log Cabin popped to mind. The thought of cutting all the pieces …
July 8, 2022 Hello quilty friends! It’s been awhile! Any of you who know me know that I’ve been riding the Scrappy Train recently. Delving into my stash bins and making scrap quilts.

Recently our own Amy mentioned that she wanted to make a Shamrock Pillow and asked if I would quilt it for her. I said ‘Sure!’ Then, I proceeded to ask if there was a pattern. She smartly replied, “it’s in my head!” At the quilt retreat we were at last weekend we all watched as …
Simple Apron February 8, 2022 This apron is a snap to make. You can use a ready made tea towel OR yardage. I really like the flour sack fabric from MODA. It really feels like the wonderful flour sack tea towels. We sell it in the store or on the website here https://littlefoot.net/product/flour-sack-fabric-from-moda/ Just think …
January 27, 2022 OK yes……dry spell for ages and then bam!! Two posts in a week! But there we are! This Churn Dash was started ages ago, and I’m just now jotting down some directions. This won’t be a picture heavy post, but I’ve typed up a little PDF which you can download here. Really …
January 24, 2022 A while back, we received these snappy black and white prints in the shoppe. I absolutely love them. Right away my though was a simple Disappearing 9 Patch. I thought it would be fun, AND most of all, these are quick to make. We all know I’m not necessarily a finisher!! So, …
