Beginner quilters show off their work

I’ve been teaching a beginner quilting class at CommUniversity, an annual event in the Quad-Cities where local instructors and experts teach month-long courses on everything from religion, to Spanish, to knitting. I developed a pattern for my course that included the quilting techniques of strip piecing, basic piecing, fusible web applique, free motion quilting and […]

#CatsOnQuilts Pet Grooming Glove review – Vlog

I never meant to become a cat owner, but we ended up with one about a year ago. What was supposed to be a temporary stop until we found it a home, turned into a permanent residency. I love our cat, but I hate the hair, and judging by all of the #CatsOnQuilts posts on […]

Pretty in Pink

For me, having a little girl means branching out in my sewing projects to garments. I’m just a big sucker for all the frilly little dress patterns, so Easter was a chance for me to have some fun creating a custom outfit for Angela. I started with a fuchsia eyelet dress made from McCalls M6015 […]

‘Giving Quilt’ returns to Elm Creek series roots

When most readers start a book series, they start at the beginning. That wasn’t the case for me when I discovered the Elm Creek Quilts series by Jennifer Chiaverini. I was still a relatively new quilter when I came across “The Cross-Country Quilters” on the shelf of my local library. The third novel in the […]

Honest Quilt Shop – The professional (aka more fabric more mess) version of #HonestCraftRoom Vlog

Long before we opened the brick and mortar version of Quilt Addicts Anonymous in Rock Island, IL, our shop was a cafe. This works great for us because there is a beautiful large built in counter and work space that was used for food prep. Today we use it for prepping orders to ship and […]

A system for keeping scraps

Some of you will consider this sacrilege: I threw out all the fabric in the picture above. I know there are some quilters out there who keep every piece of scrap fabric no matter how minuscule. I am not here to judge if you have bins filled with every piece of fabric left over from […]

I’m going through sewing machine withdrawal

I sewed one too many sweater mittens this winter. Last Thursday my sewing machine let me know it had ingested one too many lint particles from the felted sweaters and started making a noise that scared me enough to stop sewing right then and there and call the store I purchased it from. Thankfully the […]
