I Finished That Halloween Quilt
I finally finished that Halloween quilt that I started in October. I got the top done before Halloween, but I didn’t take the time to get it it quilted and bound. So, thanks to this #sew365 resolution, I got caught up on enough other projects, and had no excuse not to finish the quilt. The…

If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you’ve probably noticed the #sew365 hashtag I’ve been using recently. I’ve decided that this year, I’m going to make more of an effort to work on my sewing projects every day. And so far so good. In the past week, I’ve managed to finish the piecing on…

Read MoreChristmas Decorating
With the ridiculous amount of snow we got on Friday, I decided that it was time to do a little Christmas decorating. And with all of the vehicles were snowed in, it wasn’t like I could do anything else. So, I got my husband to drag up a few tubs of Christmas decorations – the…

Thanks to 2 evenings of Virtual Craft Night over the long holiday, I’ve made amazing progress on my Christmas Crazy Quilt. I’ve managed to piece together, embellish and faux sash the top left quarter of my quilt. On top of that, I have been able to get several other sections in progress, including these 2…
