Quilt reveal: Snowpocalypse

Snowpocaplypse More snow than you would ever need, or could imagine. – Urban Dictionary This quilt’s original name was Winter Blues. I started it during a heat wave last summer.

Sewing room mood board

This room may not look like much now except a place to store junk. But very soon it will be transformed into my sewing studio/office. A year ago we had a major storm come through. A tree branch went through the window of our sunroom, the wind whipped through and pushed the wall out. Since […]

The monkey baby quilt is taking shape

A couple weeks ago I teased you all with a post about a baby quilt I’m working on that features a giant monkey hanging from a tree branch. Well today comes the reveal of the top. The top isn’t completely done because while the applique is fused in place, I still need to finish stitching around […]

The tree is decorated for the Mississippi Valley Quilters Guild and the money raised from the sale of the trees helps funds the arts in the Quad-Cities where I live. The quilters in the Guild made more than […]

Puppy Love crib quilt reveal

I am feeling pretty accomplished right now. I’m 21 weeks along and I’ve already got the crib quilt done for my baby’s nursery. It’s quite the feat considering I normally need a deadline to get anything done. Really it wouldn’t have been that surprising if I had been putting the final stitches in the binding […]

Sewing room reveal

It took a week-and-a-half, but I finally managed to clean out my sewing room. It could still stand to be de-cluttered a little more, and I still need more storage, but at least I can work in it now and it can be used as a guest bedroom when company stays over. The green on […]
