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- […]

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 […]
A Quilt for Life
I’ve become fairly emotionally attached to this quilt that I made last fall, even though it doesn’t really match any of the colors in my home. It was my first really solid attempt at free motion quilting, which, miraculously, I achieved on an old crappy Brother machine in my dark cold basement. I really am […]
Sewing The Seeds of Love
Not craft related, I know, but I have to share my absolute joy over our family new garden!!! We were given a copy of Square Foot Gardening last month, read it cover to cover (maaaaybe I skimmed a few chapters), and pretty much decided to make it a full effort family project this year. Possibly […]
Invisible Machine Sewn Binding Experiments
So, I cranked out a couple more mug rugs last night for the church raffle, and this time they were cuter, wonkier, and FASTER. Sure, the improv piecing whips up pretty fast anyway, but as 1am approached, I had to kick things into overdrive and go for a speedy machine stitched binding. I know, I […]
