I used a few templates and pieces from patterns I had on hand. (The top left, sunflowers, pumpkin, corn and and crow were from a pattern, and I used some templates from a couple of others.) I can't make a whole pattern written by someone else; my imagination goes off the rails. Threw in my own twists. (The cat is my cat- Pickles. I traced him from a picture and made him BIG!) I'll eventually make a fall quilt with my Framework Method to share with you! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a69ff31b721571e6a7ad50d/b510d560-ba9c-4cbc-a8e7-f6d8a8ab1b70/IMG_6670.jpeg Quilt Portfolio Patriotic quilt with American flag, ducks wearing hats, popsicles, fireworks, and a barn in red, white, and blue colors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a69ff31b721571e6a7ad50d/4c3191eb-c6e3-4379-af4a-c07a7ea6aef4/IMG_8536.jpeg Quilt Portfolio This is a favorite of mine. I love making a huge panel, and building around it. This one has several Bible verses. It sold on etsy but I hope to make myself a similar one some day. Every quilt I make is a one of a kind and I want to teach you to do the same. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a69ff31b721571e6a7ad50d/07760ded-5e02-4b44-8473-6b371558b5ed/IMG_8535.jpeg Quilt Portfolio This one has my favorite colors. It is slightly too small so I dont use it but I want to make another one in these colors that is bigger! I machine pieced and hand quilted this one. I was on a stars kick and added tons of cats. How many can you find? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a69ff31b721571e6a7ad50d/bc43650f-2d3e-4328-8228-c69ce31c6d9b/IMG_8529.jpeg Quilt Portfolio I made this for my mom. The rising stars, butterfly and birds are from AccuQuilt dies. The fabric is AGF and Tilda. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a69ff31b721571e6a7ad50d/375aa704-d540-49f7-9c87-b4d8ae2a2dc6/IMG_8530.jpeg Quilt Portfolio I made this one for my husband's coworker. I love designing shapes and panels with words. Adding stars makes it really fun. I used CHRISTMAS fabric for most of this but you'd never know! Use what you have! (Umbrella, flowers, tea pot and small hearts are AccuQuilt cut outs) Fabris is Tilda and Lella Boutique- both Christmas collections. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a69ff31b721571e6a7ad50d/32b2843d-8a02-4665-958f-20cae16c630b/IMG_6903.jpeg Quilt Portfolio This is my personal winter quilt. It cheers me up to see these colors when it is cold. I recently ripped off the binding and added these flying geese to the borders instead of the plain one I had and I'm thrilled with the results. Eventually, every blank block will have an appliqué on it; I add as I have time. Going to add 1/2 size front yard friends on some. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a69ff31b721571e6a7ad50d/b4699a4f-5109-46cd-9f09-ddab9f057a6b/IMG_8540.jpeg Quilt Portfolio This one was a custom for a client. I hand embroidered most of the book titles. Butterfly is AccuQuilt, as is tea pot, cat and heart.The others I drew or just cut out as I was going. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a69ff31b721571e6a7ad50d/1633898f-c128-480c-a78c-8677837ec49c/IMG_8531.jpeg Quilt Portfolio This is my favorite quilt and the one on my bed that I use daily. I made a couple of stars from a pattern, made several blocks with EPP and appliquéd them on (along with some berries) and pieced the rest. It was made with Tilda's Jubilee fabric. (drooling) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a69ff31b721571e6a7ad50d/564f23de-4921-409a-ba7d-d48a8b71120f/IMG_8538.jpeg Quilt Portfolio I made this for my friend's daughter with lots of random things that she loves. I used AccuQuilt (butterfly, tea pot, birds) traced a few things and hand drew others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a69ff31b721571e6a7ad50d/79350cb7-4b2e-4ecd-83cf-021579a2c774/uui Quilt Portfolio A colorful handmade quilt with various patchwork designs, including triangles, squares, and patterns featuring animals, flowers, and geometric shapes, laid out on a patterned rug. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a69ff31b721571e6a7ad50d/ae53db98-89b3-489e-b761-9448f46cb7dc/IMG_8982.jpeg Quilt Portfolio A quilt with a patchwork pattern of blue, white, and checkered squares featuring embroidered and appliqued images of geese, ducks, and a mallard, with the word "DAX" in large blue letters on a white square. https://www.thestorybuilderstudio.com/about daily 0.75 2026-08-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a69ff31b721571e6a7ad50d/1ff28a84-74a3-43b5-bdb6-ee169afa84b3/IMG_1926.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a69ff31b721571e6a7ad50d/2805c910-8332-4b6f-b0cd-2c5f46a14680/IMG_0818.png https://www.thestorybuilderstudio.com/faq daily 0.75 2026-08-10 https://www.thestorybuilderstudio.com/unhinged-quilting-tips-1 daily 0.75 2026-08-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a69ff31b721571e6a7ad50d/e83ebe30-c227-4397-9fec-26faa4a7a870/Asset+1.png https://www.thestorybuilderstudio.com/the-book-front-yard-friends-the-storybuilder-method daily 0.75 2026-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a69ff31b721571e6a7ad50d/0dff830f-459d-456f-8f4d-8397e00a9fd4/Screenshot+2026-09-09+at+9.25.30%E2%80%AFAM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a69ff31b721571e6a7ad50d/77b8aba6-efb0-409b-a531-be15e15f59dd/Screenshot+2026-09-09+at+6.13.35%E2%80%AFAM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a69ff31b721571e6a7ad50d/3a9f4468-c599-43e5-ac77-c3fd377df54a/Digital+PDF_StoryBuilder_Front+Yard+Friends09052026_swimming+movement.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a69ff31b721571e6a7ad50d/f29771bd-0a73-42b8-97f2-29fb36bd66f3/Digital+PDF_StoryBuilder_Front+Yard+Friends09052026_cover+character+galleries.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a69ff31b721571e6a7ad50d/50100018-3c98-45cf-9420-c4913c7ece00/Digital+PDF_StoryBuilder_Front+Yard+Friends09052026_fatty+3.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a69ff31b721571e6a7ad50d/ba328cce-023e-411d-8f4a-954a124ee308/Digital+PDF_StoryBuilder_Front+Yard+Friends09052026_Artboard+2.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a69ff31b721571e6a7ad50d/ff12a874-bc83-470e-8636-dc245c0cb2f2/Digital+PDF_StoryBuilder_Front+Yard+Friends09052026_cover+framework.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a69ff31b721571e6a7ad50d/e6c8b44e-b311-44e2-9f65-2af2275ba2aa/Screenshot+2026-09-09+at+9.34.23%E2%80%AFAM.png https://www.thestorybuilderstudio.com/group-events-1-1 daily 0.75 2026-09-10 https://www.thestorybuilderstudio.com/meet-the-neighbors daily 0.75 2026-09-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a69ff31b721571e6a7ad50d/1789002136805-HNEJW0T3FI7HAVVS6NYO/IMG_9615.png Meet the Neighbors Meet Leopold, the Opossum.
