How to make a T-shirt Quilt

I always worry about my quilting students

I just finished teaching a T-shirt quilting class at CommUniversity. The local program offers two-hour classes every Sunday in February. The way the class is set up meant my students got two more hours of instruction and time to do homework between classes. That meant they actually had finished tops at the end of class […]

I can’t just put my feet up

http://instagram.com/p/ma2mQ6v4ZG/ I was on a roll. I had sit-n-sew last Friday night and I had prepped all the half square triangles for the April Block of the Month and had them ready to sew together. Then I got home and cut all the components of the May Block of the Month and sewed together a […]

I found the PERFECT fabric for this quilt! #shorts

I fell in love with this Star Sign pattern back in 2021, but had trouble finding fabric that matched the design perfectly. That’s until Dear Stella released its City of Stars fabric collection, which is packed with astrological symbols, flying Pegasi, shooting stars and constellations. The designs are truly out of this world, but the varying […]

I heart Craigslist

I’ve got an Craiglist alert set up for any posts that include “sewing” in the Quad-Cities where I live. I know, I may have a problem. So a couple weeks ago an alert popped up on my phone for an antique treadle sewing machine. The top was in bad shape, I learned later a fish […]

I just used this FABULOUS fabric in a quilt! #shorts

#shorts By request, we have made Glisten by Patrick Lose for Northcott Fabrics available as a fat quarter bundle. This is a fabulous bright basics collection. I just used it in a T-shirt quilt I made from my kids’ onesies and it turned out super cute.

I landed another teaching gig

My class at CommUniversity, lead to another teaching position at Neal’s Vacuum and Sewing Center in Muscatine, Iowa. It all happened when I brought my machine there for an emergency cleaning. I’m paraphrasing a little, but the conversation went a little like this… “I know you’re backed up with sewing machines, but how quickly do […]

I should have had my quilt judged

I love “Hangin’ Around.” I designed the pattern, pieced, appliqued and quilted it myself. I am very proud of my work. But I didn’t have it judged in the Great River Quilt show, hosted by my guild the Mississippi Valley Quilters Guild. I just entered it for display because of the quilting in the final […]

I tried, I really did

My husband/video tutorial cameraman, works second shift so we only have two nights off together each week. Yesterday was one of those nights, so I worked my little tail off to finish sewing my T-shirt quilt top together so we could film a video on how to mark it, layer and baste it. I got […]
