This is what a work in progress looks like. I was busy working on the Tamarack jacket earlier this month.

What do I do with leftover pieces of fabric from various projects? I run them through my Accuquilt die cutter and turn them into units that can be sewn into more quilts.

Here's a sneak peek into how I make my quilted jacket pattern pieces out of Sawtooth Star blocks. The empty space around the blocks gets filled in with background fabric.

I usually take a jelly roll with me to Alaska when I visit my older daughter. You can see the loop quilting I’m doing on this MoonstoneJellyRoll quilt.

This is the Toaster Sweater by Sew House Seven, in a burgundy cable knit fabric from Joann Fabrics. It is one of my favorite sweater patterns, hands down. I love the raglan sleeves.

JellyRollQuilt is made from a jelly roll. That is the name for pre-cut fabric in the form of about forty 2-1/2” wide strips of fabric. “Jelly Roll Race” quilts became popular about 12 years ago:
