WIP Wednesday
With #NaBloPoMo this month, I’ve been a bit of a slacker getting my WIP Wednesday posts up, but I’m happy to report that no only did I remember to write up this WIP post, but I have stuff to share! My everyday sewing machine has been in the shop for the last week. Apparently they’re…
Read MoreWilmington Prints Trunk Show
I was lucky enough to attend the Wilmington Prints Trunk Show at Let’s Sew on Valentine’s Day. It was a lot of fun to see some of the great things we could make with Wilmington’s yardage and pre-cut 2.5″ strips. The Square Knot quilt was lovely and features a lot of the essentials lines which…
Read MoreProject Quilting – Orphan Blocks
Today was supposed to be another #NaBloPoMo post, but I figured that talking about a finished quilt is a perfectly good reason to postpone it until tomorrow. Instead, I wanted to share with you my finished project for this week’s Project Quilting Challenge. So without further ado, I present to you “Annie.” This week’s theme…

One of my least favorite things to do is to make dinner. It’s not that I don’t enjoy cooking. It’s that my husband can’t ever give me a straight answer about what he wants for dinner. I get a lot of “I don’t know.” and “I’m not hungry yet.” It’s hard to make dinner when…
Read More#NaBloPoMo – Where did my crafty go?
Over the last couple years I have found myself working on more fabric based projects, things like quilts and clothes. There certainly isn’t anything wrong with that, but I sometimes wonder where the rest of my crafty went. The last non-fabric craft project I made was my Raku Monk Wreath. I love how it came…
Read More#NaBloPoMo – Let’s DIY unless you want to DIFM
I love to DIY (do it yourself). I often take a look a quilts on display in magazines and think “I can make that.”Then I sit down with a pencil and some graph paper to figure it out, or come up with my own variation on the design. You may have seen this before on…
Read More#NaBloPoMo Make It
I’m happy to say that I am participating in my first #NaBloPoMo – that stands for “National Blog Posting Month.” The idea is that each day for the entire month of Feburary, I will be writing one post that is generally about this month’s topic: Make. The idea of writing up a post every single…
Read MoreProject Quilting – Sunrise/Sunset
This week’s Project Quilting challenge was Sunrise/Sunset. As soon as I saw the theme I knew what I wanted to do. It had to be something related to Fiddler of the Roof. I love musicals and the song “Sunrise Sunset” from Fiddler on the Roof is one of my favorites. So without further ado, I…

This week I feel like I’ve gotten a lot of sewing done, at least as compared to last week. I completed another round of project quilting- a post about my completed project will be up on Friday. And I did some testing with my new flower stitch foot. Apparently I’m not smart enough to use…
