Project Setback
My sewing machine is broken! Well… sort of broken. The bobbin tension is officially so messed up that the threads unravel themselves. It looks like I’ll be taking a trip down to Davco, afterall. I was really hoping to be able to wait until after I got my quilt-top done to take it, but at…
Read MoreDesign for My Quilt
As I told you all in my last post, I have decided to make myself a quilt. The inspiration for the quilt I wanted to make, was a cute mini quilt from the Purl Bee. After some thought, I’ve come up with a plan to incorporate the idea of circles in a design that’s a…

Read MoreWhat inspires you?
I’ve been keeping track of the things that inspire me for quite a while now. I like to keep track of great ideas and tutorials for crafts, interior decorating ideas, design and infographics, fashion and a whole lot more.

Ok, so today, I’m not really decorating my cat… just her collar, but the collar will make her decorative. For this project all you need is a collar appropriate for your pet, and the stuff to make a fabric flower. For my flower, I started with a rolled center, which I covered in beads. Since…
