Learning to quilt feathers

Whenever I’ve had an inkling to learn a new quilting skill, I never start small. More often than not I decide I’m going to do it, and it is going to be king sized. That’s how I learned to paper piece, sew curved seams and triangles. Now I’m going to learn how to quilt feathers […]

Review: Black & Decker Corded Professional Electronic Control Iron

My trusty iron of 10 years went up in a fiery blaze a little just before Christmas. OK, so it was more like a very small electrical fire that didn’t do much damage. But the result was the same, it spent the night outside in the snow to cool off and I had to get […]

Ombre crib quilt top sneak peak

    I resisted the very strong urge to start a new project Saturday night and instead finished up the ombre crib quilt top I’ve been working on. I made it from a Kona Skinny Strip Bundle, the strips are 1 1/2 inches wide instead of 2 1/2 inches like most jelly rolls. The width […]

January quilting goals: How’d I do

It’s time to come clean on how well I did at accomplishing my quilting goals for the month. I had a pretty long set of goals, and in retrospect it was kind of like when you’ve waited to long in between meals and then go through a buffet line. I put more on my plate […]

Sewing room to nursery: Empty

Big changes are happening in the sewing room and the next few weeks will bring on heck of a transformation, but right about now the room just looks empty. I already wrote about what I did with all my sewing stuff that was crammed in the second bedroom of our home. Every linen closet in […]
