Have you seen the modern mini quilt linkie party happening over at Amylouwho’s? Fun! PS- isn’t her little button the cutest thing you’ve ever seen? Amy, can you be my official button-maker please??

Post Summit Euphoria
Wow! First post since the first ever Sewing Summit, and I can hardly narrow down what to include…my camera and my soul are bursting with inspiration.

Salt Lake Or Bust!
That’s right, the Sewing Summit has officially arrived!!!

One sold me this aaaaadorable antique 1930s log cabin for super cheap. I just love the sweet patchwork and subtle stripe pattern! Char […]
