Quilting
My Quilt Design Process
Though it’s something I haven’t had much time for with the new baby, I love making quilts. I think it’s the concept of taking a stack of fabrics that anyone could have and making something completely my own. My design process usually starts with a specific fabric or concept. I often find myself attracted to…

I made a bit more progress on my Fuzzy Duckling quilt over the weekend. I managed to make time to complete 4 more of the star blocks, giving me 5 finished. That’s exactly half of them! The only problem was it took me about 3 hours to cut and piece them all. I seem to…
Read MoreWIP Wednesday – Just Ducky
I’ve felt like a slacker for the better part of a year, as I just haven’t felt the urge to do much sewing. But, thanks to baby Spot, I have a good reason to get back into my sewing room. Yes for baby quilts! I never seem to have a problem picking out quilt patterns…

I’ve been a big slacker about getting any sewing done lately, what with the new baby ducks, and my utter laziness. But I do still have something to share with you this week- a brand new (to me) sewing machine. This jewel was my birthday gift from my husband. It’s about a month after my…

Read MoreA Sewing Funk
I haven’t been down in my sewing space for ages. I wish I could say that I have a good excuse, like the fact that it’s freezing down there (in my defense it is), or that my sewing table needs to be replaced/repaired (it does), but honestly, I think I would work around those things…

The new season of Project Quilting has started, which is great. I love having inspiration for sewing projects. This week’s challenge is “confetti,” so I did a little research on Pinterest for ideas and came across a quilt by St. Louis Folk Victorian that I love. I’m using it as inspiration for my own little…

It’s the last WIP Wednesday post of the year. I’ve made a lot of progress on things this year, but I’ve still got more projects going than I would like. Maybe that’s something I could work on in the new year. This week has been all about hanging sleeves. I’m midway through putting hanging sleeves…
