Feeling Fussy Modern Fabric Swap

Some super fun swaps going on out there (Ellison Lane & From The Blue Chair, I’m talkin bout you!), but I keep missing the boat (grrr) so I decided to start a new one! I’ve really gotten addicted to using awesome fussy cut printsin my quilt blocks recently, and thought, how fun would it be […]

More Pretty Blocks

I was almost 2 weeks behind in my We Can Do It Sampler Series, but finally caught back up thanks to a late night of Law & Order re-runs last night. I’m fairly happy with the results, however sleepy. !!!PAUSE!!! Destructo monkey nearly switched off power to my computer mid-post. Eek. Saved in the nick […]

Quilter’s Block- Love My Neighbors!

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 […]

Hi, My Name is Amy…and I’m A Fabraholic

Not sure if it’s a Godsend or a disaster, but I must say I’m going joy crazy working at the bombest mod fabric shop in Denver. I find myself freaking out a little when lugging up stacks and stacks of fresh bolts to the sales floor…fabric that takes my breath away the moment we slice […]

That Kinda Day…The Kind That Rocks.

Glorious, glorious day today! One of those days where I get stuff done, my kids are angels (as angelic as kids can be), and had some precious moments with them that make me feel like I’m not completely screwing things up. First things first: finished another pillow for my sofa- a wonky log cabin in […]

Modern Dresden Pillow

Yesterday I made a quilt from start to finish…really…it was an 18″ quilt called a pillow. Isn’t a pillow just a tiny quilt? This one sure was- sheesh! Used up an entire spool of gray thread! Sometimes ya just need a project that comes together (and wraps up!) fast, and a pillow is perfect for […]

HST Trick- It’s Not Cheating, It’s Genius!

I’m having a blast with this skill builder sampler, but I must admit, DANG, this week’s pinwheel block was a killer! I’m not even a super newbie to HSTs (half square triangles), but for some reason this one literally took an entire evening…sad but true. Per directions, I did the old “draw a line corner […]

One Project Down…6 Million to Go

All I can say is I’m so relieved to be finished with this quilt so I can get back to life. Ha! Seriously though, I loved making it, but wow, this one threatened to take me to the brink of sanity and back. I feel like it’s been taking over my sewing area for decades. […]
