I'm a CRAZY OLD LADY!

For more on how I became one, please check out my {All About Me} page.

Since my first quilts were baby quilts, they still have a really big place in my heart. I have quilted five baby quilts for my own children, and a handful for others, and every time I do it’s my favorite project! It’s no wonder I designed two quilts that can be lap/twin size OR baby size!

I got the inspiration for GENEVIEVE when I watched an episode of HGTV's "Dear Genevieve".  On the show, she had a bathroom tile she could mix up and put different ways to make chevrons or diamonds.  I thought it was genius!  The tile had a really jagged pattern, so I tried to mimic that with really chunky blocks.  I love it both ways!


My inspiration for INTERWEAVE came from a Better Homes & Gardens magazine.  I'm not sure what year it was, but it was a Christmas-themed magazine, and they had a package wrapped with ribbon that was so pretty, I knew it was destined to be a quilt!  This was kind of a hard pattern to name -- for a while it was Entwined, once it was Carter, and it started out being Hugo -- because of Hugo Weaving, of course!

Please let me know if you make one of these -- you can comment here, or tag me on instagram as smileynannn (yes, those are three "n"s -- ridiculous, but I wanted to be myself everywhere! :)  I'd love to see anything you've made!

  1. Love these patterns! Also I have to say your blog has a very sleek, hip design.
    Admittedly the patterns are nice to my untrained eye. After all I'm just a typical guy :-)
