Here’s a sneak peak at my large string quilt. The blocks are 12.5″ square and I need to make 35 of them! Crazy! And I have a deadline that’s a little nuts….but I work well under pressure. The fabrics have been fun to work with and as always there is that bit of doubt that […]

Still trying to do a little sewing even with the newborn babe. She keeps me busy but I try to take advantage of nap time. The other day I was finally able to work on the block for the Bee Modern swap for January. We had the most delicious fabrics and are all making a
Life has been a little crazy here at our house because our newest addition arrived to shake up our lives. Little Caitlyn is already 7 weeks old today and I’m lucky to check my email let alone write a blog entry…so sorry it’s been so long. Here we are in the hospital just days after

Well I said that I needed to get cracking on these quilts, so I’m happy to say that I have one finished. It went even faster than I thought it would…probably because I haven’t made a quilt since at least April and I’ve missed doing all the steps to create a finished piece…not just a

Well I’ve been on the computer all morning anyway, so I figured I should update my newest creations. I’ve been a little behind because my laptop is pretty much dead and I’m having to use my husband’s computer…but that’s a whole other story and the good news is that a new laptop is on its

I’ve finished my last row for the Row Robin Quilt Swap. This time I worked on a row for Carrie’s flower quilt. I didn’t mind working on this one and came up with my idea fairly quickly and thankfully had just the right amount of the right fabrics. It’s amazing what working with some favorite

I mentioned last time that I’ve been a bit delayed in my monthly sewing because of all the moving around we have been doing to get ready for the baby. So I’ve finally caught up a little bit and some things to share with you. As part of the Bee Modern Quilt Group I am

I’m happy to say that I’m longer behind in my quilting commitments! Woohoo! It was so freeing to work on blocks that were being completed on time and not already late. I’m never late normally…for anything…so it’s been difficult to let go of so much lately and leave my sewing behind. But I’m feeling a

I’ve been trying to get some sewing done on commitments that I have made. They are all things that I am excited to be working on, but it’s funny how hard they can be when they turn into obligations. Suddenly that fun task can seem daunting. I was contacted by a show on the Food
