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 […]

The Block A Day Challenge has begun!

Ladies and gentlemen, start your sewing machines. The Block A Day Challenge has begun and this month’s prize is three spools Coats and Clark Multicolor mercerized cotton. Each spool has 1,200 yards of Egyptian cotton thread on it, which is perfect for finishing your quilts. I love it for free motion quilting  because the variegated thread helps […]

My dream sewing room…

As I’ve been cleaning out my sewing room, I’ve been thinking about what my dream sewing room might look like. Sometime in the next couple of years I’ll get to design a sewing room from scratch when we finish the basement, so this is something I can get excited about. Since I’m a planner, I’ve […]

Almost Famous

I’ve got some very fun news to share this week. Earlier this year I was asked to create a block for the Olfa 35th anniversary quilt to be debuted at Quilt Market. I was flattered to be chosen and excited to get some free stuff for participating – one of the perks of being a […]

Cloth diapers

Cloth diapers, cute booties and leaks

Angela finally managed to sleep long enough for me to get a dozen cloth diapers in a newborn size finished, which means we’ve been putting them to the test for the first time. Of course, as soon as I put her in one of the cloth diapers, she took a massive poop. I’m happy to […]
