Pumpkin Spice Latte, Anyone?

C’mon, pop on over for a drinkable treat and a chat! Happy Saturday y’all! (I never say y’all by the way- I have no southern accent whatsoever- but doesn’t it just sound so darned sweet?) What are you guys up to this weekend? SO much happening over here! Here’s what I’m all about today: First, […]

Say Hello To My Little Friend

It’s Black Friday, and I will be doing many things today. Shopping will not be one of those things. Is it because I hate crowds? I hate malls? I hate life before 6am? Perhaps. Or perhaps it’s because I already did a bit of shopping this week and I feel guilty. VERY guilty. The kind […]

Quilt Cards- Better Than Hallmark

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 […]

Garage Sale Jack Pot!!!

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- […]

Invisible Machine Sewn Binding Experiments

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 […]

String Pieced Rug Mugs…It Was Just A Matter Of Time

Is it just me or is every modern quilter on the planet having the same divine epiphany? Yes, string quilt tutorials may soon outnumber celebrity sex tape scandals. And why not? They look rad. I pretty much can’t wait to go to town making one of these. Only 863 other projects in line first, but […]

No Batteries Required

On a quick trip to Target this afternoon to snag the last clearanced vintage wooden kitchen set, thanks to a heads up from a friend, I was delighted, elated, overjoyed when THIS little blast from the past caught my eye. Holy McMemories- I loved the heck outta this little record player in 1982 like you […]

I Was Lost, But Now I’m Found

“Less is more,” or so they say. Surely this is true of lawn decor, cosmetics, and tequila, but scissors? Yes, I have seen the light. Throughout my 15+ years of quilting and sewing, and I’ve snipped, sheered, and clipped my way through countless pairs of Fiskars, Dritz, Singer, Gingher, and Clover. Honestly, whatever fit my […]
