Kalona quilts continued

The Kalona Historical Village put together an exhibit just for the Iowa Illinois Quilt Study Group that featured quilts with a family story. The quilts are absolutely remarkable and I’ll them speak for themselves.

Doodling to master free motion feathers … and general scribbling

I’m learning a new free motion feather meander, my daughter is learning to color. A photo posted by Stephanie De Pasquale-Soebbing (@quiltaddictsanonymous) on Jan 22, 2016 at 4:15pm PST My 20-month-old has discovered crayons. She likes to put them in her tin box and shake it, stuff them in between the couch cushions, line them […]

Quilt retreat progress report

I had hoped to write a triumphant post today about how much I got done at Quilt Retreat last weekend. Unfortunately that’s not the case. While I normally can accomplish more in one four-day weekend of uninterrupted sewing than I can in a month of distracted craft time at home, my weekend was anything but […]

Pinwheel quilted dog bed

Since we’ve moved to our new home, the dogs haven’t appreciated the wood floor in the bedroom so I made them a quilted dog bed so they’d have something soft to sleep on. I used a charm pack to create pinwheels, sewed a pillow case back and stuffed it with a waterproof dog bed liner […]

Join the Stripping in Paradise Fabric Exchange

We’re leaving the cold winter behind and headed to the tropics with the next Quilt Addicts Anonymous Fabric Exchange. My cheeky title for this quilt is Stripping in Paradise, and that’s because we are exchanging batik strips to make strip sets that will be cut into squares and then turned into half square triangles to create the […]

Family stories in quilts

I went the the Iowa Illinois Quilt Study Group for the first time last weekend. The study topic was family quilts. The only family quilts I have are ones that I’ll make and pass down to my children someday. And I hope that these hypothetical children will cherish these quilts so that they don’t end […]

Sometimes done is better than perfect

My niece is at that age where I can make her happy with a new outfit for her doll, so that is exactly what she got for her birthday – new pjs and a quilt for her doll. I started early with the best of intentions. I picked up a few half-yard cuts of flannel […]

I landed another teaching gig

My class at CommUniversity, lead to another teaching position at Neal’s Vacuum and Sewing Center in Muscatine, Iowa. It all happened when I brought my machine there for an emergency cleaning. I’m paraphrasing a little, but the conversation went a little like this… “I know you’re backed up with sewing machines, but how quickly do […]

July Mini BOM 2016

It feels so strange to be nearly done with a Block of the Month quilt just two months in. But after you finish with the July block, you will have three-quarters of the block made for Cabin in the Clearing. Then we just make four more blocks, slap on some borders and we’re done next […]
