Sewing room reno update

There is a small possibility I might meet my goal of shooting the May BOM tutorial in my new sewing studio. Last night my husband finally finished cutting the trim for the windows and baseboard and putting them up. I say finally, because this has been in progress for weeks. He’s not quite as motivated […]

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. […]

Join the Block a Day Challenge in 2012

This is the time of year we all think about making resolutions to improve our lives, learn a new skill or to become a better version of ourselves. I’m going to make a resolution to finish more quilts and I’m issuing a challenge to help all quilters do the same. Quilters lead busy lives. We […]

BOM 2014

Sneak peak

I pulled my 2014 BOM off the longarm earlier this week. There’s still a TON of work to do on it before the big reveal on here (binding, label, hiding threads). But I couldn’t resist showing you a sneak peak of the quilting. Before loading this quilt on the frame it had been a year […]

A knitting affair

I’ve been having an affair with knitting. It’s all started when I got a copy of “All Wound Up: The Yarn Harlot Writes for a Spin,” by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. The book is a collection of essays about knitting, mothering, living in an old house with two closets and a big stash (knitters have stashes too) […]

My favorite (quilting) things

It’s the biggest shopping weekend of the year, so I put together a list of my favorite (quilting) things. These are products that make my quilting life easier and I use them all the time. If you don’t already have them in your quilting supplies, I absolutely recommend adding them to your Christmas list. What […]

Snowball nine patch

I’m snowed in my sewing room

OK, clearly it isn’t actually snowing in my sewing room, but my blue and white snowball quilt is starting to come together. I’ve had the snowball blocks done since I started the quilt in the middle of a heat wave last summer. But I’ve been taking my time on the 6-inch nine patches that will […]

Quick weekend projects

I started and finished three quick projects on Saturday. First up was a fabric book for my six-month-old niece. Since fabric books come in ready to cut out panels, this project was very quick. All I had to do was cut out the page spreads, fuse half of them to fusible fleece and then sew […]

Best laid plans

Plans are made to be broken and that’s exactly what happened last weekend. I went to visit my parents for the weekend so my husband could paint the nursery to match the crib quilt I made. But Saturday morning he woke up with the flu. The huddle under five quilts, only get up to go […]
