For my very first entry in this show and competition, I have chosen my Steampunk Crazy Quilt, which is my take on the traditional crazy quilt.  The quilt hangs on the wall in my living room, making…

A Quilt for Mother’s Day

By Andrea | May 12, 2014 |

You may remember that a couple years ago I made my dad a quilt for Christmas.  Well, I still hadn’t gotten around to making a quilt for my mom.  That changed this year when I ran across the Sweet Life line by Cori Dantini for Blend Fabrics.  One of the fabrics in the line was…

It Has to Have a Motor

By Andrea | May 9, 2014 |

Over the last few months, my husband and I have been watching a episode of Deep Space 9 each night before bed. Yes, we are nerdy like that.  The other night, I mentioned that I would love to have the $6000 leather catsuit that Alternate Universe Kira wears. I think it would be super awesome…

This is two weeks in a row without any finishes or progress I can share.  I’m starting to feel a little lazy, especially when I look at all the accomplishments that everyone else makes each week. Finished Quilt Tops: I still have 3 finished quilt tops that need quilting.  If anyone wants to donate funds…

So Much Sewing

By Andrea | May 5, 2014 |

In the last week, I feel like I’ve made quite a bit of progress on the quilt which was once the #dyosampler. I have 5 full sections complete, and the other 3 sections are partially complete. Overall, I’m pretty happy with my progress so far. What do you think?

By Andrea | April 25, 2014 |

It’s the 5th and final week of the Triangle Quilt Along over at The Sassy Quilter.   I’m happy to report that I’ve managed to finish the quilt on schedule.  I decided to quilt my quilt following the piecing.  It came out pretty well, but it took a lot longer to quilt than most of…

#DYOSampler Quilt Along: Pulling Fabrics

By Andrea | April 21, 2014 |

Pulling fabric for a project is probably my favorite part. I have a small addiction to fat quarters, so I shouldn’t be surprised at how many fabrics I have that work with, even using a limited color palette. But somehow I always am. For this quilt (and every other quilt I design), I started with…
