Baptism

Satin, lace and a 4 a.m. finish

Satin and lace can be very scary materials to work with when you’re used to 100 percent quilting cotton, but I found that they really weren’t all that bad. The scariest part was whether or not I’d finish in time for my daughter’s baptism, not if the fabric would behave like a soaking wet kid […]

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.

Nonna and her table runner

Saying goodbye to Nonna

This week I said goodbye to my grandmother, or Nonna, as my cousins and I called her. Born in Italy in 1925, she was raised to be a wife and mother. She cooked, cleaned, sewed and raised four children who loved her. The strange thing about death is that while it is painfully sad for […]

September Block of the Month

This month’s block is made fast and easy thanks to some time saving techniques. We’re making more half square triangles. You all should be experts at making them by now.

Sewing room

Sewing room disaster

A few weeks ago I wrote that my sewing room was so messy I was too embarrassed to show you all a picture. Well, then I threw some more junk in it, decided I have no shame when it comes to quilting and took this photo. I know, it’s bad. You can see a mess of laundry […]

Sewing room disaster update

I’ve been working on cleaning out my sewing room. I’m not done but I’ve made progress. Now you can see the floor, not that the floor is pretty. Replacing the flooring throughout the first floor is next on my DIY home improvement list. I also can close the closet door now. So while I still […]
