So … I set my iron on fire

Today we say goodbye to the iron which has served long and faithfully for more than a decade. A high school graduation gift from my aunt, the quilter, she must have known the iron would one day be needed for far more than the mundane task of ironing dress shirts I left in the dryer […]

On a UFO mission

This year is the year of the UFO. I’ve been trying to wrap up all my unfinished projects. So far I’ve finished seven quilts, but only two are on my list of five major UFO projects I would like to finish this year. But after this weekend I should be much closer to finishing a […]

Getting ready for my first fair

I haven’t blogged much recently because I’ve been very busy getting ready for a craft fair this weekend. I’ve never been in a fair before, so I was afraid I wouldn’t have enough items to fill my six-foot folding table, but as I arranged them all last night, I realized my problem is that I’m […]

Block a Day Challenge roundup – Week 4

This week was all about color in the Block a Day Challenge. Almost all of the blocks were made from bright, beautiful fabrics in a rainbow of hues. Here’s a sampling of what we created. There also were a handful of applique blocks, some sewn by hand, that were completed this week. And now for […]

Christmas fabric exchange reveal, sorta

Way back in 2011 (I know 2012 is only 25 days old, but it seems longer) I participated in a holiday fabric exchange hosted by Quilting Under the Influence. My quilt still isn’t finished, but the top is pretty much put together, which is saying something for me and my tendency to move from one […]

Taking the plunge

Two weeks ago I was laid off. No warning, just called into the boss’ office and told that the social media department I was hired to build just wasn’t large enough to cover my salary and that was that. I probably should be mad. I was only there for seven months, and while at my […]

#iheartquiltretreat

I spent four glorious days at Quilt Retreat. I really needed the time away because my job has been really stressful recently. I sewed, slept and got a ton of sewing done. But rather than go on about it, I thought I would just share my weekend in Instagram photos. http://instagram.com/p/W72_UJP4V0/ Do you think this […]
