My first Quilt Market!

One of the more fun parts of having a blog that has gotten big enough to become a legitimate business is going to the International Quilt Market for the first time. There were more than two dozen rows filled with all the latest fabric lines, notions, patterns, books and sewing machines. If it had anything remotely […]

My first quilts, don’t look too close

I’ve been without a sewing machine for a week while mine was being cleaned and repaired. Why I always wait for it to break before getting it serviced, I can’t tell you. Probably procrastination combined with not wanting to be without the machine. In the meantime I’ve been scrap booking. I made it to 2009, […]

My love of fall decorations

I love, love, love fall decorations. I have a set of fall placemats spread out around my own house with my collection of ceramic pumpkins and a few fall floral arrangements. And in the shop I have some fall decor as well. There are two table toppers that would look best on a small table […]

Naming a sewing machine is no easy matter

I think my sewing machine needs a name. I’ve come to this conclusion because I recently read a blog post by a friend who confessed that she calls her sewing machine Pirate Wench, and I’ve been reading George R. R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire,” in which all great swords have names. But […]

Nap time quilting

http://instagram.com/p/qCYGpOP4aY/?modal=true Nap time quilting.  It’s a popular pastime among quilting moms, there are even entire blogs dedicated to it. And now I’m one of the nap time quilters cramming as much into nap times as possible. It’s amazing what you can get done when you know there’s only and hour, maybe two to finish it in. Last […]
