Virtual show and tell: Sock Monkey baby quilt

This quilt completely wiped me out. I love it and I think it is the most adorable baby quilt I’ve made to date, but I have been completely exhausted since I put the final stitch in the binding at 1 a.m. on Sunday. The main problem wasn’t staying up until 1 a.m. to finish the […]

Hand quilted beauties at an Amish Quilt Auction

For years my family has been going to the semi-annual Amish Quilt Auction in Bonduel, Wisconsin. But since the small farming town is a six hour drive from where I live, I’ve never been able to organize a trip to coincide with the event. That is until this fall’s auction. It is pretty safe to […]

Jungle baby quilt reveal!

It was the morning of my sister’s baby shower, and I showed up at my sister’s house with a cardboard gift box. Instead of giving her the present, I locked myself in the nursery rearranged the room, much to the chagrin of her uber-friendly beagle, and staged a photo shoot with the jungle baby quilt I’ve […]

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 […]

5 sewing room organization hacks

I just ordered the final piece of furniture for my new sewing studio/office. Its a bookshelf for holding my quilt kits before they’re sold and some of my fabric stash. There’s no way all of it would fit in there. So in celebration of being almost done with my newly organized space, I decided to […]

Two for one, making the most of scraps

Normally when I buy PUL for making cloth diapers I purchase 22 inches of yardage. That is more than enough to make four cloth diapers from one width of fabric, which means I already have enough PUL to make additional sizes as my baby grows. But when I picked up some pink girly prints to […]

Dining room hutch to sewing room chic

A few months ago I picked up a dining room hutch on Craigslist. The piece had good bones. It was solid, made of real wood, no major flaws. But there were a few issues with the finish that came from use. It made it the perfect candidate for an Annie Sloan Chalk Paint transformation into […]
