Secret quilting project reveal

I’ve wrote a few times about a secret quilting project I’ve been working on and I can finally reveal it in full here. The quilt was a group project made by my sit-n-sew for one of our members who had a baby. It has become a sort of tradition that when one of us is […]

1,500 inches of binding

Not that long ago I wrote about how the downside of spending so much time on the longarm lately means I now had 700 inches of binding to do by hand. I know there are some who love sewing binding on by hand. I’m not one of them. But I prefer the look to machine […]

A few things I’m working on

I’ve been working on some new (and old) projects now that I’ve finished the patriotic T-shirt quilt for a client. I’ll post pictures of the quilt later, as my camera died the morning I delivered it. I’m finally starting to sew together the signature blocks that guests signed at my wedding in August. We had […]

It’s all about good preparation

When I attended my first quilt retreat I brought a stack of fat quarters and a pattern from a magazine I wanted to make. My table-mate brought all her pieces pre-cut and ready to sew. We both got about the same amount of work done, but at the end of the weekend, it looked like […]

Block a Day Challenge round up – Week 3

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 […]

Blood, guts and a sewing needle

I spent New Year’s Eve and Day doing two things, hand quilting and watching The Walking Dead marathon on AMC. I know, that’s kind of weird. I started watching the show at the beginning of Season 4 and have been dying (pun intended) to see the back story. So when I heard about AMC’s marathon, […]

Well … it’ll fit next year

When I startedĀ Little Sister’s Dress a few months ago I planned to make it in the six months size, but I think Angela will be 18 months or maybe even two years old before she fills out the finished garment. And it will definitely be a tunic, not a dress. It’s the thought that counts […]

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.
