Making
Seriously guys, I have SEW many sewing machines! (I’d tell you that I’m sorry for the pun, but I’m not.) I currently have no less than 6 sewing machines in my house. And in the last month I’ve had at least 3 offers from people wanting to give me their vintage machines. Unfortunately, what with…
Read MoreThe Houseful of Nicholes is talking about 1st sewing projects on Thread Filled Thursdays this week, so I wanted to go back and share the first couple of sewing projects I shared on the blog. They were both part of Craft Month 2011, where I crazily decided that I would do a new craft project…
Read MoreThough 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…
Read MoreI 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 MoreI’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 MoreIt seems like the only quilting I get around to doing lately is making baby quilts for people. I don’t mind that at all, but I have been seriously slacking in the amount of time I put into my sewing projects lately. That’s why I’m glad that my sister requested a make a baby quilt…
Read MoreIt’s been ages since I’ve written up a WIP Wednesday post. And that’s mainly because I haven’t had any progress to share, but with some recent work to my sewing space (more on that later), I’ve managed to get some work done over the last few weeks. I made up a baby quilt for a…
Read MoreMy birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks, so I’ve been giving some thought to things I might like to have for my birthday. In case you missed it, we recently bought a new house, so a lot of these things will be linked to that. Buying a house can be a long,…
Read MoreA while back, I saw a wreath on Create Craft Love that I absolutely adored. It was a fun spring wreath made from a garden hose. So, I thought I would give making one of these a try. Of course, I managed not to rememeber to print off a list of the things I needed…
