My New Baby Carrier & A Random Yarn Bombing

Had a great weekend enjoying our new Boba baby carrier! A lady came into the shop with one of these the other day, holding her 2yo like it was nothing, and I had to have one, seriously. Holds up to 45 Lbs, extremely comfortable, even has kiddo foot stirrups for leg support. L-O-V-E totin my […]

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- […]

iPad Sleeve Tutorial

So, I’ve been wracking my brain all week trying and come up with the perfect birthday gift for my nearly 30 sweet, sassy socialite sis. I refuse to resort to a gift certificate for someone I’ve known since the moment she popped out of the womb! Finally came up with this…a chic, girlie, quilted sleeve […]

A Quilt for Life

A Quilt for Life

I’ve become fairly emotionally attached to this quilt that I made last fall, even though it doesn’t really match any of the colors in my home. It was my first really solid attempt at free motion quilting, which, miraculously, I achieved on an old crappy Brother machine in my dark cold basement. I really am […]

Sewing The Seeds of Love

Not craft related, I know, but I have to share my absolute joy over our family new garden!!! We were given a copy of Square Foot Gardening last month, read it cover to cover (maaaaybe I skimmed a few chapters), and pretty much decided to make it a full effort family project this year. Possibly […]

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 […]

A Big Girl Room for Little Miss Modd

Ever work on a project that just fell into place so smoothly it almost felt unfair? That’s what this week’s redo of my 3 yo sweetie pie’s room was like. I mean, not to brag, but this one was just plain fun. Picked the colors in 5 minutes at Home Depot and they literally make […]

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 […]
