This is my first tutorial, and it comes during the same week that I’ve given up coffee, so hopefully this makes sense (and if it doesn’t, let me know and let’s just blame it on the lack of caffeine!)
I make two versions of this market bag, and I use both on a daily basis. I [...]
Excuse me if I squeal in delight - it’s my first finished quilt top, and I’m quite excited with how it’s looking! I have to admit that I wasn’t sure I’d ever get to this point…
Last night I finished sewing the strips, and then cut the long white strips for between the strips of blocks. [...]
…to get the top of my newest quilt finished over the weekend.
of course that didn’t happen.
I always think that the weekend will be perfect for completing the sewing projects that I can’t seem to finish during the week, but somehow I always find myself busy doing other things. We’ve had a lot of rain here [...]
Again, on other blogs, not mine (not yet, anyway!) there are a few good giveaways. I came across this website here - On the Dot Creations. Julie has a great blog and this week she’s having a giveaway extravaganza! If you have time to spare and you want to find some cool Etsy shops, head [...]
I pulled out my bag of scraps last night, thinking that I might put them together to make some kind of patchwork bag. As I sat amongst all the scraps I couldn’t picture a bag, but rather a quilt. I know, I know, I have two quilts already started that I should be working on. [...]
I’ve been waiting to post about my new desk. I thought that the pictures would be better if I waited until I bought stools, but at the rate I’m going, that might be never, so you’ll have to imagine the stools.
I didn’t really have any place for my sewing supplies and really nowhere to do [...]
Just a few pictures of some recently completed projects… I’ve already posted similar photos, so if you’re tired of seeing them, you may want to skip this post!
First - -
More pillows! These three are going to my sister’s boss, Karla. From what I’ve heard, she has a new couch that needs pillows. These are 20″ [...]
I started this new quilt recently and have finally made a bit of progress on it. I’m using scraps of most of my fabrics - mainly Amy Butler & Joel Dewberry, with a bit of Jennifer Paganelli and Michael Miller as well. I’m hoping to end up with a queen sized quilt for our bed, [...]
I, for one, am always up for a chance to win something. Sometimes it doesn’t even matter what it is, or if it’s something I’d ever use. Luck doesn’t seem to be with me though - the only thing I’ve ever won (despite throwing my name in any number of drawings) was a large, not [...]
We bought a new couch about 6 months ago. It’s really long and just cries out for pillows. I figured I’d make a few, and even went so far as to order fabric (two Amy Butler prints) and buy the pillow inserts.
A couple months went by - no pillows.
I finally made one of the small [...]
