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 […]

Bridal quilts, antique sewing machines and T-shirt quilts

I went to a bridal shower for my cousin’s fiancee over the weekend. My aunt also quilts and she made her a beautiful quilt of half-square triangles. She recently had surgery on her hand, so completing the bed quilt in less than a month was quite an accomplishment. My dad got a hold of a […]

I’m celebrating my birthday with quilting

Tomorrow is my birthday. Most people have a party or a couple drinks, and while I will probably do the latter in the evening, I’m going to spend most of my day in a quilting class. One of my local quilt shops is holding a free motion quilting class. I’m a quilt in the ditch […]

Making time for personal projects

I’ve been working on a T-shirt quilt for a client. He has several T-shirts from his days in the Navy, a union member and from several presidential elections. The sashing is an appropriate red, white and blue. I finished sewing it to the top and left sides of the blocks two days before meeting the […]

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 […]

Finished in the nick of time

I know, Christmas was almost a week ago, but life hasn’t slowed down yet. My quilted gifts were very well received and nobody had any idea that two of them were started less than a week before Christmas. Most summer days my grandpa can be found on a fishing boat with a pole in his […]

Good thing I checked my list twice

I was in the process of checking my list twice last weekend when I realized I forgot to get a gift for my grandmother for the SECOND year in a row. I’m a bad grandchild. She’s very difficult to shop for. My mom once found a gift she’d gotten her stowed away in a closet […]

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 […]
