She’s here, and just in time for her feast day! Our Lady of Guadalupe has always been a favorite of mine; living in San Diego, her image is prominent at so many of the churches and missions throughout the area.

October is my favorite month for so many reasons. The warm colors of fall, the taste of pumpkin, and the focus the month brings to the powerful prayer of the rosary. As the entire month of October is dedicated to the rosary, it makes sense that Our Lady of the Rosary’s feast day, too, occurs this month. She’s the inspiration…

We’ve been on a giant dinosaur kick lately at our house. From visiting the dinosaur museums in Utah and Colorado to watching Dino Dan, Dino Dana, and Trek’s Adventures on Amazon, it’s been all dino all the time. So, when our little guy asked, “Mom, did God make dinosaurs?”, we picked up our family bible and read: “God said, ‘Let…

St. Therese of Lisieux is our second Sew-a-Saint print, and one of my favorite saints! By making small offerings each day, and thinking of them each as a little flower that she lay before Jesus, I find a saint that I can relate to – and a way for me to practice each day, too. In this tender…

St. Therese of Lisieux is a popular saint among women and girls alike. The lovely way she shared her faith – her little offerings of flowers each day – is something we can all relate to. Born in 1873, she often battled illnesses throughout her 24yr life. Her humility shined through her essays, published the year after her death. The…

When it comes to patron saints, my little guy’s favorite saint is St. Michael the archangel. So, it made sense to make him be the focus of our first saints fabric line! Saint Michael comes complete with battle armor and holds a sword and shield. The sword and shield repeat throughout the print, and the delicate white stars of heaven…

On our travels this year, we are coming across so many adorable small town churches. Each has its own history and story to tell! I’ve been enjoying Mass so much each weekend as we visit a new parish; so far, we’ve been to Mass in three different states and each has been lovely. These little parishes served as an inspiration…

It’s been a few years now that I’ve been designing quilt patterns, and one of my favorite things to do is – once the pattern is done and quilt ready to make – to wander around a quilt shop, looking and admiring all the lovely fabrics. The colors, the textures, the prints…so so beautiful When making novelty mini-quilts – those…
