February Block of the Month

Sorry for the delay in getting the February BOM out. My daughter came down with croup Thursday night. She’s fine but the whole house was pretty sleep deprived and I got behind on the video for this month’s instructions. This month we are making 28, six-inch blocks that will surround the 18-inch blocks we made last […]

February Block of the Month

I hope you all are having as much fun with the Quilt Addicts Anonymous Block of the Month as I am. Nearly 1,500 of you downloaded the January block, and I can’t wait to see how everyone’s fabric and color choices make the pattern come to life in a different way. But now it’s time […]

February Block of the Month

Some fun behind the scenes news. I got new lights for shooting the video tutorials. That means really clear video for you, and I can shoot at night after the baby goes to sleep. I hope you enjoy this month’s tutorial. This month we are making eight blocks. It is the most we’ll make in […]

February quilting goals

It’s that time of the month when I attempt to be an over-achiever and list out some lofty sewing goals to complete this month. Last month I started out strong, but then a nasty cold derailed my progress. Hopefully this month will see better results. Here’s my game plan for the month: Quilt, bind and […]

February quilting goals: How’d I do?

I had such wonderful sewing goals for this month. But alas, the best laid plans are meant to be broken. I didn’t accomplish anywhere near what I wanted to thanks to a short month, and an unexpected sewing machine repair that left me without a machine for a week. Here’s what I did manage to […]

Feeling the Christmas crunch

I started my career as a journalist, which means I like a good deadline. It also means I’m a procrastinator, a bad habit that bites me in the rear every holiday season. The gifts are bought, most of them are even wrapped, my cards have been mailed, but I haven’t even begun the handmade presents. […]

Finding time to quilt every day

It’s fall, and that means spending more time in a classroom than at my sewing machine. I teach journalism and advise the student newspaper at my alma mater. We’re not talking going back to school after a summer off. We’re talking about working eight or nine hours at my main job at an ad agency, […]

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 […]

Finished quilts of 2011

There was a baby boom among my friends and family this year, so 2011, was the year of the baby quilt and stash busting. There was the alphabet baby quilt for my friend Shelly’s first child. We know each other from book club, so I thought this panel that I already had in my stash […]
