March quilting goals: How’d I do

It’s time for the monthly accounting of how much I set out to do verses what I actually accomplished. I had a pretty productive month, although as usual it wasn’t quite as productive as I’d hoped it would be. Finish nursery sewing I hoped to make a crib skirt, bobby covers and fabric baskets. None […]

Taking advantage of the 3-day weekend

I’ve been very busy sewing on my three-day weekend. I finally finished snowmen quilted placemats that I had hoped to finish before Christmas. Now at least they’ll be finished for next year. I also made this messenger bag that’s for sale on www.stephaniesoebbing.etsy.com. It’s large enough to hold a laptop. I also sewed together some […]

An essay on clean underwear and quilting

This morning, for the second time this week, I had to wait for a load of laundry to finish drying so I could change my underpants before I left for work. This sad truth is neither an unusual occurrence, or a record of how many times a week I’ve woken up without clean skivvies. There are two reasons […]

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 […]

Preserving memories with a T-shirt quilt

I’ve been working a lot on T-shirt quilts recently. I had a bunch of shirts from my sorority days in college that I don’t wear anymore. I didn’t want to toss them, but I also don’t have the space to store them all, so I decided re-purposing them as a quilt was the best option. […]
