Making
A couple weeks ago, someone on instagram got the brilliant idea to start a hashtag for a big fabric destashing project. I think it was @twomoreseconds, as she has a blog post about it. But, what started out as a small destash of fabrics exploded. Almost all of the crafty people I followed on instagram…

I picked up some amazing fabrics last weekend, knowing that I wanted to make a quilt with them, but having no idea what I wanted that quilt to look like. Why do I do this to myself? Because I had a gift card for the store and everything was 15% off, that’s why. The fabric…

I’ve had this idea for a while now about taking fabric from Amy Butler’s fabric lines and pairing it with fabric from Parson Gray’s lines. Why? Because they are married and I thought it would be interesting to see how this couple’s very different lines played together. I started with a trip to my local…

As you know, I just made a quilt for my cousin Susan’s baby out of some lovely Fanfare flannels from Cloud 9. Because of the pieces required for the pattern, I needed to size up a lot of the yardage I bought. This gave me a fair amount of leftover flannel with no home. My…

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…

Yes, it IS January, and yes, I AM writing a post about my Christmas Crazy Quilt project. Not surprisingly, I got busy and didn’t get the quilt finished before Christmas. So I took a short break to work on another project (it’s a gift, so you have to wait to see it). But then I…
