Happy little kittens on a book shelf. This sweet make reminds me a lot of my first quilt, designed with my daughter in mind. She loved cats and she loved reading. And still does! She will be graduating from university this spring and will be a physical education teacher! I used a lot of the […]
Bookkeeper is my first finish for 2024!!! And we have snow for a bright white background. I decided to make a narrower bookshelf for the backing. I used a bit of improvisation and made the Good Book on the top shelf. I adore the cool blues and greens used for the books. These hues make […]
Thank you so much for joining me in celebrating over ten years of Sew Fresh Quilts! My very first blog post was on December 24th of 2012, back when I used blogger here ❄️ Even after all this time, quilting still gives me a lot of satisfaction. And I am happy to continue to share […]

The Dog Days of Summer are long gone, as we are full on into dall here now. This quilt is called Dog Daze and features four different styles of dogs. Their faces are basically the same, but their ears and neck lengths vary. The front fabrics are all neutrals – except for the tongues – […]
Pups in Cups is a finished baby quilt! After sharing my Kittens in Cups, I immediately had quite a few requests for Puppies. Working with the same dimensions, I did my best to create dogs in two poses, just like the cats. It was fun choosing fabrics from my scraps baskets to make all the […]

For the backing I chose this bright blue modern print and love how it compliments the front! Copy Cats quilt […]
