Major progress was made by the Block a Day Challenge participants this week. Together we completed one quilt… Three tops… And 69 blocks, many of which were submitted in pairs or sets of four. One over-achiever posted a photo of 28 blocks! And since we all don’t have to be over-achievers, here’s photos of some […]

OMG you have to see these ombre prints!
We just got in Dragonfly Dreams by Deborah Edwards for Northcott Fabrics and it is absolutely amazing. The collection is stunning and contains some beautiful digital prints in rich hues of pink and magenta. But the show stopping prints are the two ombres traveling from light to dark pink across the entire width of fabric. […]
Organizing the underwear drawer so I can sew
I let my sewing room become a disaster zone again. That in turn lead to the sewing supplies taking over the dining room table because I couldn’t actually quilt in the sewing room. And that lead to the living room going to hell because why keep it clean when it looks like a quilt store […]
It’s a Christmas miracle
It’s Christmas Eve and I don’t have any last minute sewing to do … It’s a Christmas miracle. Normally about this time I’m freaking out about how exactly I’m going to finish everything and get it wrapped in time. Honestly, it doesn’t really even feel like Christmas if I’m not still up at 5 a.m. […]

Sewing, a family affair
Last month my family went on our annual vacation. It’s one week in Wisconsin with eight adults, three children 2 and under, three dogs in two cabins on a lake. It is always a lot of fun, and a good break from the day-to-day. But this year, I was still working … kinda. I helped […]
I’m learning to knit socks
For Christmas I asked for balls of sock yarn, never mind the fact that I didn’t actually know how to knit socks. I had a book on the subject and figured that if I could teach myself to quilt on the Internet, then I probably could teach myself to knit socks with a book. Well […]
