Works in Progress

By Andrea | September 3, 2014 |

I feel like I’ve made a lot of progress in the last week. Unfortunately, it’s the sort of progress that doesn’t seem like anything got done. I spent the majority of last night taping together and cutting out pattern pieces for a few upcoming projects: The Scout Tee from Grainline Studio, the Betty Bowler Bag…

Adding to the Stash

By Andrea | September 2, 2014 |

This weekend, a family friend was nice enough to give me some of her mom’s old sewing stash. I had so much fun going through everything. Check out these amazing fabrics. I’m especially in love with the wool in the center. It might make a great coat or a fun bag. And there were also…

Double Wedding Ring

By Andrea | August 25, 2014 |

A few months ago, I wrote a post about my quilting bucket list. I’ve already knocked a triangle quilt off my list, and now I’m braving the double wedding ring. For my version of the quilt, I’m using some fabric that my sister got me for my birthday, along with some extra fat quarter bundles,…

Finished Flimsys: I didn’t get anything finished this week, but I did mail off my String Theory quilt for quilting. Yea!  It should be back in a few weeks with a pretty quilting job. The Communique quilt, Double Exposure quilt, and Impromptu quilt are still waiting to be quilted. Quilt Tops in Progress: No progress…

Finished Projects I broke out of my quilting rut and made a bag for my sister’s birthday over the weekend. I’m really pleased with how it came out. Finished Flimsys: I haven’t done anything with my finished quilt tops. There are still 4 of them ready for quilting. Those are the Communique quilt, Double Exposure…

I seem to be doing a really good job of not getting much sewing done these last couple weeks. I really don’t have anything new to report so here’s a recap of where my current projects are at: Finished Flimsys: I have a total of 4 quilts with tops and backs ready for quilting. Those…

Works (not) in Progress

By Andrea | July 9, 2014 |

We interrupt this regularly scheduled Works in Progress post to share with you how my projects did in open class at the fair. (Mostly because it’s fair week so I’ve done ZERO sewing since my last update.) I entered 3 quilts in open class this year, one in each of the categories I had a…

Patriotic Inspiration

By Andrea | July 4, 2014 |

Happy 4th of July to all of my American readers. As you already know, this is a very important day for us, and one that should be celebrated with no excuses. The 4th of July marks our independence day. It is the day we became an independent nation, and if you ask anyone that you…

Finished Flimsys: I have a total of 4 quilts with tops and backs ready for quilting. Those are the Communique quilt, Double Exposure quilt, String Theory quilt, and Impromptu quilt. I should probably get on that soon, or send them to someone who will. Quilt Tops in Progress: The blocks for my Christmas crazy quilt…

Communique Backing

By Andrea | June 30, 2014 |

One thing I love about making my own quilts is that I can put just as much character into the back as the front. Now, that’s not to say that I do it on every quilt, but I felt like the Communique Quilt deserved a fun backing. After all, with all the detail on the…
