Besides being a wonderful Halloween quilt, this design in versatile eough that it will make a very cool boy quilt for any age, as well as being perfect for our music-loving rocker girls!

Now that all that hard work is done, I'm treating myself with a new quilt finish -- My Modern Tsuru Sampler just came back from Sew Shabby Quilting and looks better than I could have ever imaged!

  6. Congratulations on your first pattern! It's about time you started charging ;c) I have loved all your tutorials but it's a business for you and with your talents you should be charging. I will be shopping and buying patterns from your store for sure. You've been SO generous over time with sharing, so I thank you for that. I've always wondered why you didn't charge for them. Good luck on this new venture. You will be amazing. I love following you and watching what you do next. You've definitely been an inspiration to me.

  16. Hi Maureen, Do you still quilt on a Janome? I recently bought a Janome 8200 and I have a terrible time FMQ on it. Do you have any tips?

    1. Hi Vickie! I only do FMQ on my small sketch stitch art pieces. It's something I want to improve on, but am loving the special work that Melissa at Sew Shabby Quilting and Angela Walters have done on my quilts. I wish I could be more helpful!

  18. Just bought your skull quilt download and it was so easy. I have been searching for months now for a quilt pattern for a friend of mine and there wasn't anything that caught my eye. Then I saw on Facebook your finished skull quilt. Your quilt was EXACTLY what my friend would love, in fact you could say it screamed her name. LOL! I just printed it out and can't wait to get it started. As a stay at home mother myself I can't think of anything I love more than quilting and being home for my children. Thank you again so very much Maureen. Michelle

  19. It's so beautiful, I didn't even notice it was a skull at first!
    I'm running through your semi-finished-ish quilts now, and pretty much pinning every one of them. You have a *great* eye for pattern!
