A peak at the design wall

I had a great time at quilt retreat. I did nothing but sew and chat with other quilters for three days, and while my husband doesn’t understand why that was so fun, I’ll definitely be going back for the fall retreat. On Friday afternoon I finished the quilt top for my signature quilt, layered and […]

Preserving memories with a T-shirt quilt

I’ve been working a lot on T-shirt quilts recently. I had a bunch of shirts from my sorority days in college that I don’t wear anymore. I didn’t want to toss them, but I also don’t have the space to store them all, so I decided re-purposing them as a quilt was the best option. […]

Completing UFOs at quilt get-a-way

I attended a quilt get-a-way last weekend sponsored by my guild and was incredibly productive. The get-a-way is different than a retreat because it is in town, and you go home at the end of the night. But you can sew from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday through Monday if your heart so desires. […]

An essay on clean underwear and quilting

This morning, for the second time this week, I had to wait for a load of laundry to finish drying so I could change my underpants before I left for work.

Block a Day Challenge roundup – Week 14

Everyone must be inspired by spring, because the blocks and tops completed this week are all really bright and fun. This week we completed 57 blocks and three tops. I still haven’t had a chance to enter all the entries from March to choose a winner at random. I’m hoping to do that this weekend […]

Finishing my own quilt on the longarm

I’m quilting my triangle boot camp quilt tonight at Quilting By You in Bettendorf, Iowa. It’s a great place because there are three longarm machines that you learn to use and rent time on. Before Quilting By You, I always quilted on my home sewing machine, which was OK for crib-sized projects, but is a […]

A little quilter is born

The wait is over. My husband and I welcomed Angela Elizabeth Soebbing into the world at 2:49 p.m. on May 8, 2014. She was was 5 pounds, 14 ounces and was 19 inches long. She’s got a full head of dark black hair just like her mama. It took a whole two days for her […]
