Boy, does it feel amazing to have made a a crater-sized dent in my paper pieced pinwheel AMH quilt (the time is coming for a proper name). What a rare day…HOURS of virtually uninterrupted sewing…and who do I have to thank but my poor sick preschooler who spent the day watching movies in my bed, […]
Woeful WIPs
So, my quilt guild is doing a WIP commitment this month- I mustn’t start any new projects, and must strive to finish some existing ones. Good thing I’m the absolute queen of getting all hot ‘n bothered about a project, and then getting horribly distracted by something even more exciting and pushing it to the […]
The Antepartum Survival Sew Continues!
Well, week one is officially in the books here at my private getaway, complete with plastic pillows, bland chicken sandwiches, and yes, a little smidgen of sewing squeezed somewhere in between belly monitoring, ultrasounds, aquatic therapy, and the occasional 20 foot excursion to the water cooler. I can’t complain! Heck, feed me pureed meatloaf, cause […]
My Latest Sport: Hospital Quilting
What an unexpected post this is! But before I fill you in, I can’t neglect to announce the winner of the Multi-Tasker Tote pattern giveaway. Congrats JoyceLM! I’m emailing you now to get your address! Funny how life doesn’t really seem to care what your “plan” is, you know? Bouncing around my 32nd week of […]
Comfortable Days
It’s been a rainy, drizzly few days here in Colorado, but we’re making the best of it with some comfort food, classic movies, and relaxed sewing (yes, I said relaxed…as in casual WIPs, no deadlines, just cause sewing’s fun!). I think it’s been years since I’ve whipped up a big bowl of my mother-in-law’s legendary […]
Stop And Smell The Sanity
It’s getting to be that time of year again. Busy busy busy, go go go….the kids have music recitals, gymnastic performances, birthdays, bike rides, fishing, gardening, theatre plays, road trips, play dates, and of course lots of running through the sprinklers. I wish I could say my plate felt quite as carefree, as I layed […]
Things Are Growing…
…like my belly, my pile mountain of clean laundry to fold, and my list of unfinished sewing projects. Why do I always feel like the first trimester is the hardest? I swear it’s the only time I really feel pregnant- ie exhausted, nauseous, emotional, fat. Yes, truly fat. My bump is there but it’s little…I […]
Retreat Recap & Some Big News!
Finally recovered from a weekend of quilting insanity with my guild! What a stinkin blast. Tucked in a cozy little mountain retreat center, snow sparkling and fireplaces glowing…we giggled, we gabbed, we stuffed our faces with popcorn & taco-flavored chips, and sewed til our eyes bled…well at least mine. Not bled, really, but I did […]
Quilt Retreat or Bust!
Sewing machine- check Fabric & notions galore- check Yoga pants & fuzzy socks- check Lots of chocolate, buttery popcorn & Red Vines- check My amazing hubby is checking the fluids in the car and hauling out my anvil sewing machine, and then I’m hitting the road for a weekend of sewing with friends! Yup, just […]
Knock, Knock…Anybody Home?
Hi, yes, I’m still here! It’s me, Amy! Remember? I usually blog here…about quilts, fabric, kids, high-calorie pancakes…that is, unless I’m detained by a special little something I like to call life. This week I’m a busy bee working on some super fun projects that I absolutely can’t wait to share with you. I mean, […]
