South Shore Crea Sewing Craft Table a good mid-budget desk

It felt a little bit like Christmas last week as large boxes kept showing up at my door filled with goodies for my new sewing studio/office. For the first time ever I have a desk that was specifically designed for sewing and I love it. I chose the South Shore Crea Sewing Craft Table on […]

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 […]

Craftsy’s Sewing Studio is perfect for beginners

I love taking classes on Craftsy. I’ve gotten to the point where I can usually teach the technique at most of the sewing classes offered near me, so Craftsy is a great resource where I can learn more advanced quilting skills and improve my garment sewing.

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 […]

Wear all the babies

My sister is expecting her second child soon and she asked if I could make her a ring sling so she can hold baby number two while caring for baby number one. Of course I said yes because it involved sewing something for my sister/new nephew, going to the fabric store with my sister and […]

Cell phone cameras and sampler quilts

My Quilt Addicts Anonymous 2014 BOM quilt is on the longarm right now. It’s been on the longarm for three weeks, and I’m just over halfway done. While owning a longarm is on my quilting bucket list, along with having a sewing studio large enough to fit one, right now the only way I can […]
