Sewing room reno update

I used to be a DIY addict. When my husband and I bought our home, it had pretty much stood still in time since 1980. There was a lot of work to be done and we did it. Kitchen renovation, new flooring, tearing down walls and gallons and gallons of paint. Five years later, we’re […]

My first Quilt Market!

One of the more fun parts of having a blog that has gotten big enough to become a legitimate business is going to the International Quilt Market for the first time. There were more than two dozen rows filled with all the latest fabric lines, notions, patterns, books and sewing machines. If it had anything remotely […]

We’re almost to the end of the 2014 Block of the Month. The November block includes three different techniques. We’ve done them all before, so this will be a good refresher of all we’ve learned this year. Make sure to come back next month, because I’ll be hosting a contest and giving away some free […]

August Block of the Month

The August block is another simple block. We’re just making a few half square triangles and then putting it together in rows of four with some squares. The complicated look that makes this quilt look difficult comes when we assemble all the different blocks at the end of the year. Also, if you’re running low […]

Virtual shop hop: Quiltology in Chicago

Update: Sadly this quilt shop has closed, although to can still shop its online selection.  I went to Chicago last week on business and just couldn’t leave the city without checking out Quiltology, the urban quilt space. Besides having a need to check out local quilt shops whenever I go out of town, I was […]

July Block of the Month

We are officially halfway through the year and we’re getting toward the end of our quilt. There are just four, 12-inch blocks to make each month through the end of the year. This month we’re making more double pinwheels. If you remember, the last time we made double pinwheels we had mirrored blocks. We will […]
