T-shirt quilt tutorial – Fabric requirements
T-shirt quilts are a great way to find a new use for old T-shirts that you don’t wear anymore but don’t want to throw away for sentimental reasons. They’re also really easy to make and a great project for quilters at any skill level. Still there are some tricks that make the process go smoothly […]
Taking advantage of the 3-day weekend
I’ve been very busy sewing on my three-day weekend. I finally finished snowmen quilted placemats that I had hoped to finish before Christmas. Now at least they’ll be finished for next year. I also made this messenger bag that’s for sale on www.stephaniesoebbing.etsy.com. It’s large enough to hold a laptop. I also sewed together some […]
Taking the plunge
Two weeks ago I was laid off. No warning, just called into the boss’ office and told that the social media department I was hired to build just wasn’t large enough to cover my salary and that was that. I probably should be mad. I was only there for seven months, and while at my […]
Teaching my mom to be a quilt addict
My mom is learning to quilt. If you ask her, she’ll say she’s learning how to make table runners and she doesn’t want to make large quilts. But I just think she hasn’t been fully indoctrinated yet. She has a very demanding job and is looking for something fun to do to relax. So I’ve […]

The dog matches my scrap quilt
I’ve been working on a scrap quilt made in creams and browns. As I finished the last of the 25 squares last night, my dog, Lady, thought she’d test it out. I had to laugh as her buff/rust coloring made her almost blend in with the quilt. At least I won’t have to worry about […]

The monkey baby quilt is taking shape
A couple weeks ago I teased you all with a post about a baby quilt I’m working on that features a giant monkey hanging from a tree branch. Well today comes the reveal of the top. The top isn’t completely done because while the applique is fused in place, I still need to finish stitching around […]
