A knitting affair

I’ve been having an affair with knitting. It’s all started when I got a copy of “All Wound Up: The Yarn Harlot Writes for a Spin,” by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. The book is a collection of essays about knitting, mothering, living in an old house with two closets and a big stash (knitters have stashes too) […]

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 […]

Chalk Paint

A new addiction

I’ve watched a million, OK maybe dozens, of YouTube tutorials on chalk pain, examined the beautiful brush stroke-free finishes and drooled over the colors in the Annie Sloan color chart. But I wasn’t quite ready to take the plunge without taking a class first. I wasn’t sure which brush I needed for what technique, how […]

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 […]

The tree is decorated for the Mississippi Valley Quilters Guild and the money raised from the sale of the trees helps funds the arts in the Quad-Cities where I live. The quilters in the Guild made more than […]

A Quilted Christmas tree reveal

When I signed the Mississippi Valley Quilters Guild up to create a tree for the Festival of Trees in Davenport, Iowa, my goal was to show the community that quilting is much more than a hobby for little old ladies. Quilting is beautiful and an art in its own right. So with textiles and thread […]

Ombre crib quilt 4

A quilting emergency

There I was, 18 inches away from finishing sewing the binding onto the front of a crib quilt I needed to finish. I still had to sew it to the back by hand and the baby shower started in two hours. I ran out of bobbin thread, no big deal right. When I loaded it […]

A sneak peak at ‘The Wedding Quilt’

Judging by the expressions of jealousy and shared excited on my Facebook profile when I announced that I got my hands on an advance copy of Jennifer Chiaverini’s new book “The Wedding Quilt” I’m guessing you all are going to be pretty interested to read my review of the book. I’m halfway through and I’m […]

A system for keeping scraps

Some of you will consider this sacrilege: I threw out all the fabric in the picture above. I know there are some quilters out there who keep every piece of scrap fabric no matter how minuscule. I am not here to judge if you have bins filled with every piece of fabric left over from […]
