I finally finished my Fiery Labyrinth Quilt. If you’ve been following the blog for a while, you might just remember when I finished the top and backing. That was all the way back in November of 2012. Well, those finished pieced set on my quilt rack for over a year while I stressed about how…

After reviewing everyone’s comments from my post about coming up with a quilt design for the collage fabric I recently acquired, I came up with a design that I really like. It will allow me to run the bird print across the bottom of the quilt, which I love. I think it grounds the design.…

My weekly update on project progress. Finishes My Zen Chic quilt came back from Designs by Laura Jo on Monday night, so I got busy Tuesday evening, trimming the quilt top down and adding the binding. I still can’t believe what a good job she did on the quilting. It looks great. Now if I…

I recently agreed to do a basic quilting tutorial for a couple of the ladies who participate in Virtual Craft Nite. The tutorial was a simple 18-inch pillow cover using 9-patch blocks.

I stopped by one of the local antique malls over the weekend, hoping to find some inexpensive, but classy jewelry to wear to my brother-in-law’s wedding. No luck on the jewelry, but when I stopped to look at a vintage camera (they’re beautiful, I always stop for them), I happened upon the most adorable sewing…

I’m trying to finish projects as I start them instead of having lots of projects going at the same time. Being focused on only one or two projects at a time has been really good for me. I feel like I’m accomplishing much more than I would otherwise. It’s so easy when I have multiple…

Over the last couple weeks, I’ve been piecing yet another crazy quilt. That in itself isn’t surprising. What’s surprising is that it’s a Valentine’s Day quilt. That means lots of pink. Pink isn’t normally my color, but I ran across a great vintage-inspired Valentine’s Day print fabric at JoAnn’s, and when I did, I knew…
