Just finished my 9 patch block for the We Can Do It Sampler. I love it! Would love to do a whole quilt outta this. Not only do I love the block, but I love how every single one of the fabrics was added to my stash at a different time, from a different place, […]
Quilt Cards- Better Than Hallmark
I really really hate buying greeting cards, and honestly (ssshhhhh) I almost hate receiving them too! $3, $4, even $5 for a commercialized printed card from a factory, written by who knows? Could it be less personal? I feel like I could write a note on a Post-It and it would be more meaningful than […]
Embroidered 3-Ring Binder Baby Book
My 1 yo little squeeze toy has hit a few huge milestones this month so I figured I should pull out her baby book and add some updates. Opened up the keepsake box (dusty from how long it’s been!) and was delighted to remember that I’d actually made her baby book from scratch (back when […]
Everything’s Coming Up….Veggies
Just had to post an updated pic to brag to share since I’m really psyched about how it’s doing. Still can’t get over those zucchini, all by seed! Amazing! Can’t lie, I was pretty sure nothing would sprout. Silly me. Anyone else growing any good stuff out there, in between stitching, momming, working, and staying […]
We Can Do It Quilt Sampler
Just joined on for the “We Can Do It” Quilt Sampler over at Sewn. First block starts tomorrow so I need to nail down my fabric choices! Help me pick!!! Shopping ONLY from my stash this time. I know, I know, major self control, especially since I work at the raddest little modern fabric shop […]
Gifts from The Guild Gods
I visited the Columbine Quilt Guild potluck & stash sale this week, thanks to a sweet invite from a friend. Wowzers! It was old school sewing circle to the max. Dozens of adorable ladies, most at least twice my age, with so much knowledge (and stash!) to share. When I first walked in, bearing gifts […]
My New Baby Carrier & A Random Yarn Bombing
Had a great weekend enjoying our new Boba baby carrier! A lady came into the shop with one of these the other day, holding her 2yo like it was nothing, and I had to have one, seriously. Holds up to 45 Lbs, extremely comfortable, even has kiddo foot stirrups for leg support. L-O-V-E totin my […]
Garage Sale Jack Pot!!!
Was casually browsing a neighborhood garage sale today…not much of interest, other than perhaps some tattered vintage copies of Huck Finn & Heidi, and some decoupaged 1970s wall art (all of which I purchased for $1)…when I looked down at my feet and spotted THIS! A 1950s Montgomery Ward Signature sewing machine! What a beast- […]

Yay! Just got another custom order on Etsy for my Cotton Candy Stripes Quilt in Sugar Pop, so I’m gonna whip up a pattern for it while I’m at it! Sweet! My first “real” PATTERN, like on paper, available to you! I’ll keep you posted when I get it up on the blog under my […]
iPad Sleeve Tutorial
So, I’ve been wracking my brain all week trying and come up with the perfect birthday gift for my nearly 30 sweet, sassy socialite sis. I refuse to resort to a gift certificate for someone I’ve known since the moment she popped out of the womb! Finally came up with this…a chic, girlie, quilted sleeve […]
