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 […]

Success: Signature quilt top is pieced

I’ll admit that there were times when I thought I’d never get around to sewing together the top to my signature quilt, but it is officially pieced together. I still have to add two borders, but that’s a piece of cake at this point. I’ve even gotten a little ahead of myself and started marking […]

Last-minute gift: GAP-tastic cowl

This post is for all you quilters out there that are also closet knitters. I started and finished the GAP-tastic Cowl in one week. Yes, just one week, and I am by no means a fast knitter. This pattern is super simple. You just alternate knit and purl stitches, so even a beginner can handle […]

Stripping in Paradise square

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 […]

Ombre crib quilt 4

A quilting emergency

There I was, 18 inches away from finishing sewing the binding onto the front of a crib quilt I needed to finish. I still had to sew it to the back by hand and the baby shower started in two hours. I ran out of bobbin thread, no big deal right. When I loaded it […]

Labor, sharp objects and my husband

Occasionally I go to a knitting night at my local yarn shop called the Knaughty Knitters. It’s a fun bunch. There’s usually wine and everyone is always willing to make sure I haven’t screwed something up too badly. The last time I was there, hugely pregnant finishing a baby sweater, I asked if they thought […]

Quilt retreat to-do list

If you ask my grandma, she thinks I sew all day long. Unfortunately that isn’t the case. The business end of running a quilting blog tends eat up more time than sewing and you’re usually more likely to find me in front of a computer than the sewing machine. But that is going to change […]

Toy Sewing Machine 03

$10 antique store find

It’s official. At 13-months-old Angela has her first sewing machine. One of my favorite rainy day activities while on vacation in Shawano, Wisconsin, is visiting antique shops. Usually it is the same stuff year after year. Beer steins, tchotchkes, spoons, more junk than treasures. But occasionally I find something good. This trip it was a […]

Barn quilts abound in Shawano County

Quilt blocks on barns are becoming quite the trend, but they’re really popular in in Shawano County, Wis. You can find one on just about every rural road. I took photos of several when my family vacationed there over the summer. Enjoy! There also was an awesome field of sunflowers. It was really neat to […]
