#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 […]

Raffle quilt for K9 Kindness Rescue

I love my dogs. I have three of my own and a foster dog from K9 Kindness Rescue, Inc. A few months ago K9 Kindness took in Rosie, a heartworm positive dog that was pregnant. Her delivery was very difficult and costly because of the heartworm, but because of K9 Kindness, Rosie and her pups […]

Stash too big? Donate to Quilts of Valor

About a month ago I watched a program on Iowa Public Television about the Quilts of Valor Under Our Wings program. The program connects experienced quilters with men and women who have never sewed before to make a quilt for a veteran. I don’t come from a military family, but I just cried throughout the […]

January quilting goals

Transforming my sewing room into a nursery means I’ve got to get some of big projects out of the way before the baby arrives. And that means I have a lot of sewing to do in the next 20 weeks, give or take depending on whether the little guy or girl decides to come early […]

Happy (belated) Halloween!

Halloween with a child, means I get to go nuts creating a handmade costume. This is probably the last year I get to pick what the costume is, so I went with a scarecrow. I didn’t really see a pattern I liked so I decided to make one myself. I’m not that skilled in pattern […]

My love of fall decorations

I love, love, love fall decorations. I have a set of fall placemats spread out around my own house with my collection of ceramic pumpkins and a few fall floral arrangements. And in the shop I have some fall decor as well. There are two table toppers that would look best on a small table […]

Triangle Bootcamp1

Triangle Boot Camp

I’ve started a new quilt, that I designed for a class I’m teaching in June called Triangle Boot Camp. My method of sewing triangles involves sewing them together as squares first and then slicing them in half. It’s easier because the point of the triangles doesn’t get eaten by your feed dogs, you don’t have […]

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 […]
