Sewing room to nursery: Valances and border prints

I don’t even have my valances hung yet, but I just couldn’t wait to share them. I’m usually not a fan of border prints. They’re hard to use in quilts. You need to miter the corners for them to look kind of OK, and they never quite match up. But I do love the way […]

I’m on Craftsy

I discovered Craftsy this week. It’s glorious. You can find patterns from independent designers like myself for quilting, knitting, jewelry and more. So naturally I created a shop for my patterns. My goal is to create two pattern books, one of triangles using my method of piecing them all from squares and another one of […]

Saturdays with Stephanie July 22, 2017

OK, so I have done a pretty terrible job of blogging recently. We’re working on changing that by bringing on new team members here at Quilt Addicts Anonymous to handle the day-to-day tasks that have been created as this little blog turned into a full blown business. Then I can get back to the creative […]

Big changes are happening in the sewing room and the next few weeks will bring on heck of a transformation, but right about now the room just looks empty. I already wrote about what I did with all my sewing stuff that was crammed in the second bedroom of our home. Every linen closet in […]

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.
