A crib quilt for each day of the week

My baby hasn’t even been born yet and already he or she could use their own quilt rack. Thanks to wonderfully talented family and friends, my baby is definitely going to be spoiled in the handmade department. Here’s a little eye candy for your Thursday as I share the wonderful creations that have been made […]

Bonnie Hunter and her scrap obsession

If you’ve ever thrown away scraps in a Bonnie Hunter class, there’s a good chance they made their way into her pattern Pineapple Crazy in her book “String Fling.” The bed-sized quilt is made up of 5-inch paper-pieced pineapple blocks with impossibly small pieces. And all those pieces you thought you couldn’t use and tossed, well […]

I should have had my quilt judged

I love “Hangin’ Around.” I designed the pattern, pieced, appliqued and quilted it myself. I am very proud of my work. But I didn’t have it judged in the Great River Quilt show, hosted by my guild the Mississippi Valley Quilters Guild. I just entered it for display because of the quilting in the final […]

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 […]

Combing my love of dogs and quilting

I found this super cute applique pattern at Nancy’s Notions and I have to have it. I’m going to make it in a summer scene so I’ll be able to make the dog look like Einstein, one of our three dogs. I’ve also been asked to make a wall hanging for a humane society fundraiser […]

Mrs. Lincoln’s Dressmaker provides historical insight

I finally finished “Mrs. Lincoln’s Dressmaker” by Jennifer Chiaverini over the weekend. It took me a year to get through it, partly because I was sent the book for review right before my life got very busy, and partly because it just didn’t have the same I just can’t put it down qualities as some […]

It looks like a quilt shop threw up in my living room

The fabric for the Quilt Addicts Anonymous Mini BOM arrived today! It came in five huge, heavy boxes and I am just so excited to see all the fabrics together. When I chose the fabric, I selected from swatches that measure about 8 inches square. It is just so much more exciting to see the […]

Stash too big? Donate to Quilts of Valor

About a month ago I watched a program on Iowa Public Television about the Quilts of Valor Under Our Wings program. The program connects experienced quilters with men and women who have never sewed before to make a quilt for a veteran. I don’t come from a military family, but I just cried throughout the […]

Taking advantage of the 3-day weekend

I’ve been very busy sewing on my three-day weekend. I finally finished snowmen quilted placemats that I had hoped to finish before Christmas. Now at least they’ll be finished for next year. I also made this messenger bag that’s for sale on www.stephaniesoebbing.etsy.com. It’s large enough to hold a laptop. I also sewed together some […]
