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 […]

New baby, new junlge crib quilt design

I’m going to have a new nephew in a couple months so that means it is baby quilt time.

Her husband suggested an underwater theme, not a colorful ocean scene, […]

Wedding quilt reveal … no not mine, that’s still a UFO

This is the week of quilt top reveals. Not because I was extra good at fulfilling my New Year’s resolution to finish two quilts for every one I start, but because I finally found the cord to transfer photos from my camera to my computer.

I’ve been bad

I promised myself I would not start a new project until I finished some unfinished ones I’m working on. But yesterday I just couldn’t help myself. I was straightening up and I came across some blue and white fabric scraps my aunt gave me for a snowball quilt I want to make. I’ve got about […]

Sewing room reno update

I used to be a DIY addict. When my husband and I bought our home, it had pretty much stood still in time since 1980. There was a lot of work to be done and we did it. Kitchen renovation, new flooring, tearing down walls and gallons and gallons of paint. Five years later, we’re […]
