Stripping in Paradise tutorial and kit reveal

I have been holding this news back since March and am so excited to share it with you all now! The Stripping in Paradise pattern has been my favorite so far of all the patterns I’ve created for fabric exchanges. So when the exchange wrapped up, I wanted a way to share the quilt and […]

Stars & Stripes Quilts of Valor Pattern tutorial

I just love this pattern and not just because it finally allowed me to use up some patriotic fabric I bought during a trip to Washington, D.C. for my cousin’s wedding. He’s been married six years, so it is about time that section of the stash got used up. This pattern fits the requirements of […]

She’s fine but the whole house was pretty sleep deprived and I got behind on the video for this month’s instructions.

Sewing room organization tips

I have been on a de-cluttering, cleaning and organizing kick since I got back from holiday travels. This is really a must-do action when one has a toddler and said toddler makes out like a bandit at Christmas.
