Tutorial: How to make tab top valances

Let me start this tutorial off with a disclaimer. I am a quilter first, a home decor seamstress second and a bad knitter third. My advice and instructions are based of my knowledge of how to put a quilt together. That means my suggestions may be different than what you’d find on a home decor […]

Sewing room to nursery: Carpet the dogs can poop on, but the baby can’t

We finally ordered carpet for the nursery this week. I’ve wanted new carpet for this room every since we moved into the house. Anything would be better than the dog poop brown shag that is in there now. Funny how it takes a major life event to get it done. My husband and I selected […]

A quilting emergency

There I was, 18 inches away from finishing sewing the binding onto the front of a crib quilt I needed to finish. I still had to sew it to the back by hand and the baby shower started in two hours. I ran out of bobbin thread, no big deal right. When I loaded it […]
