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. This weekend was about so many things for me- re-energizing, inspiration, connecting, sharing, learning…more than anything though, it was about people- woman young and old, modern and traditional, loud […]
Salt Lake Or Bust!
That’s right, the Sewing Summit has officially arrived!!!

What an exhausting amazing weekend! I hosted our neighborhood yard sale yesterday (awesome success) and was tickled to find out that 2 gals on my street are die hard quilters! Who knew? One sold me this aaaaadorable antique 1930s log cabin for super cheap. I just love the sweet patchwork and subtle stripe pattern! Char […]
