Thread stand makeover 04

Thread stand makeover

Of the luxuries I’ve missed most about having a dedicated sewing space, a thread stand is definitely in my top five. Not only do I love the look of having my thread on display, it is a lot easier to find what you’re looking for when it is neatly displayed on the wall instead of […]

Quilt show in the bunk room

One’s choice of bedding at quilt retreat is a very important choice. I’m sure there are posh quilt retreats where everyone has their own room in hotel-like fashion. But at my Guild’s retreat, we all share bunk rooms and the quilts that adorn them are on display for everyone to see. It is like a mini […]

October Block of the Month

Sorry I am so late getting the pattern out this month. I’ve been battling a nasty cold and I still haven’t mastered getting anything accomplished on weeknights now that I’m a working mom. I still haven’t managed to get the video together, but you can download the pattern now. This is one of my favorite […]

An afternoon with Carol Doak

It’s been a crazy month since my class with Carol Doak, and most of it was spent without Internet at home. I don’t know what I would have done without my Blackberry. Carol was a great teacher, she made paper piecing very easy although it’s not fool-proof. I cut through the paper pattern a couple […]

A call for pattern testers

I am working on creating new patterns and am looking for some pattern testers to double check that I’ve gotten everything right before I release them. I’m looking for experienced quilters who can complete a quilt top within two weeks to a month, depending on the complexity and size of the pattern. In exchange for […]

Must-have notion: Machingers Quilting Gloves

I’m not going to recommend a product on this blog unless I really love it and couldn’t imagine quilting without it. Machingers Quilting Gloves definitely fit that description. The gloves are made from a lightweight, breathable fabric so you won’t get sweaty hands while you’re quilting. But what makes these gloves absolutely essential for quilting […]

Amish quilts: Striking solids

The Iowa Illinois Quilt Study Group was held at the Kalona Historic Village, which features a nationally known quilt and textile museum. There also is an Amish population near Kalona, Iowa, so the museum has a gallery dedicated to traditional Amish quilts. I love the look of Amish quilts. The solid colors are so simple […]

After quilt retreat: New York Beauty

Most of my time at quilt retreat was taken up by the paper pieced Christmas tree skirt. But I did manage to get some work done on my New York Beauty quilt. I finished four more blocks for a total of 12 completed. That’s nowhere near the 32 I hoped to have finished by now, […]

Block 1 – Starburst Galaxy

Starburst Galaxy Block 1 video tutorial

O.M.G. this video took FOREVER to upload! There are two reason for that. One … my Internet provider has a monopoly in the area, which means they don’t actually have to be any good. Two … this video is almost 30 minutes long! Yes, 29:54 with no commercials. That’s longer than watching an episode of […]

February Block of the Month

Some fun behind the scenes news. I got new lights for shooting the video tutorials. That means really clear video for you, and I can shoot at night after the baby goes to sleep. I hope you enjoy this month’s tutorial. This month we are making eight blocks. It is the most we’ll make in […]
