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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Pretty in Pink
For me, having a little girl means branching out in my sewing projects to garments. I’m just a big sucker for all the frilly little dress patterns, so Easter was a chance for me to have some fun creating a custom outfit for Angela. I started with a fuchsia eyelet dress made from McCalls M6015 […]

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 […]
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 […]
It feels good to declutter
My husband and I live in a little two bedroom ranch. Until now, the second bedroom has been my sewing room/throw anything in there that doesn’t have a permanent home. More often than not, it was a disaster. But now that we’re preparing for the arrival of our first child, all that has to change. […]
