I thought about posting a sneaky trick today for April Fool’s….like that I’m pregnant or that I’ve decided to stop doing the Sugar Block Club (neither are true!)…but I’ll be honest- I don’t think I could deal with the reactions! Some weeks I can laugh at anything, and others I might cry if you tell […]
March in the Sugar Block Club
Leaping into March today with a fresh new Sugar Block and quilt! Yay!!! Plus, I have an exciting first today…ah! It’s my very first YouTube video tutorial! I hope you’ll find it helpful! That’s right! We’re going Orange Peel style. I just adore these petal shapes, and I have a tendency to work them into my […]
I Wrote A Book…Again!
I know what you’re thinking…Is this lady nuts or what?! It’s a fact. I am totally nuts. Two books, back to back, on top of homeschooling 4 kiddos and goodness knows what else…What can I say? I guess it doesn’t really seem crazy when you feel like the luckiest woman in the world. I’m ridiculously […]
Count Down to Christmas!
Have you ever had a WIP project lying around that just struck pain in your soul every time you thought about it being unfinished? That’s what this Advent calendar has been for me for the past 2 years. I started it with the best of intentions– to mimic the Advent felt pocket calendar my mother […]

A Gift For the Girlie Girls
Happy Monday, friends! Today I wanted to share a cute little idea that I’ve been playing with this month in an effort to come up with a unique and functional gift idea for little girls. I don’t know about you, but my girls LOVE hair bows. I feel like we have a zillion of them […]
Patchwork Boppy Cover Tutorial
Happy Friiiiiday Guys! I’m excited to share a fun new tutorial with you today, that I put together as part of the Design Challenge summer series over at Sew Lux Fabric. Let’s face it. Love these brilliant nursing pillows, hate the covers. The ones they sell in the big chain stores are kinda ugh-tastic…if you […]
More Scrappies To Love!
Several new beauties joined our gang this weekend…and despite our little house, we never seem to run out of room for more quilts. Just discovered I inherited this one from my grandmother, and I couldn’t be more thrilled at the colors! I bought this navy rocker for the nursery, and I want to use accents […]
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.
