Oak Park Quilt ~Mini~
Because the original size of this quilt won 2nd Place at the 2022 Illinois State Fair in Bed-Sized Machine Made Quilts, And because my visit to the state fair caused the person who drove me to get COVID-19, I set aside a portion of my own COVID quarantine to knock out the math and make…
Iris Hexagon Quilt Block
This quilt block is my first shared work of a Foundation paper Pieced (FPP) Block. FPP allows a lot more flexibility in design, and in this case allows for clean lines that make the design. It’s one of my favorite piecing methods. This pattern has 18 total subunits, that form 6 equilateral triangles, which finally…
Oak Park Quilt
This Quilt was inspired by a day when I felt so blessed to have a somewhat unexpected visit from my parents and grandma. We toured the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio and drank wine through the afternoon. It was all around an amazing day. One of the rooms in FLW’s home was his children’s…
Dizzy Diamonds Quilt
This pattern was inspired by abstract painter Max Bill’s “Six Penetrating Colors” (1966-67), which I found in a book I picked up from the Brown Elephant. Resisting the improvisational impulse other abstractionists like Kandinsky called for, Bill sought a mathematical approach to art based in rhythms, formulae, and variations. Beyond the inspiration for the diamond…
The Musaica Cowl
The Musaica Cowl is about honoring the small details that surround us everyday. This cowl is a celebration of a single leaf on my Calathea musaica for a picture. I received a cutting of my friend’s for my birthday and though it’s struggled quite a bit, I have been amazed by its will to live,…
The Dioptric Cowl
I recently went on a much-needed vacation with my partner and family. While on Tybee Island we visited a local lighthouse and saw the incredible innovation that allowed a small light to project almost 20 miles into the open Atlantic. The Fresnel lens, within, bends light with bands of similarly-angled but slowly shifting glass surfaces,…

The ThreeequenSki Cap
Being announced as part of the #ThreeequencyKAL The ThreeequenSki Cap takes the staccato patterning of the Threeequency Pullover and pairs it with the delightful slow fade of Spincycle’s Dyed in the Wool. However, it can be knit with any pairing of two fingering weight yarns and the pattern contains customization instructions for lengths from 9”…
The Buddy Hat
Perhaps like many new knitters, the first item of clothing I made for myself was a beanie. A simple beanie is a great “palate cleanser” and a simple way to use up a spare ball of yarn you love, but don’t have enough of for a larger project. Made from a worsted weight blend of…
