I took advantage of the fact that I had to clean up the guest room for our recent guests to photograph the room that I also use as my sewing room. I always find it interesting to see what kinds of spaces people use to create in. It’s still a room that I’m getting used …
I was able to squeeze in some time on the 4th to do a little sewing. And when I say little, I mean size, not time! I paper pieced a spooky house for my doll quilt that measures less than 6″ tall…probably 5″ come to think of it. It was tedious, but rewarding as I …
Another brother was a little behind on ordering my gift, but it got taken care of today. And I’m so excited that I have to show a picture of it before I get it. I’m going to get a whole stack of the most beautiful shades of blue green kona solid fat quarters. The set …
Well, really my first two birthday gifts. But one of them I already told you about. My husband bought me the newest version of electric quilt early because we pre-ordered it to get a good discount. I’m really enjoying learning the program and I know that once I really get going with it, I will …
I have no idea if these are recently out or if I’ve just been living under a rock, but I’ve found the CUTEST pincushion patterns by Heather Bailey. I am of course familiar with her pear one (so cute!) But it never struck me as the greatest shape for a pin cushion…although I bet it …
Well I saw a tutorial that I just had to try! Comfortstitching has written up a wonderful tutorial complete with templates for this little quilt. (You can find the link in my tutorials I want to try section!) So the other night I finally decided to break out the scraps and start putting this together. …
Well I finally had to make out a schedule for all my bees and swaps because I’ve gone a little nuts and I’m involved in a bunch of things. Plus it helps me keep track of my goals for the year. So here it is! 2010-2011 Bees and Swaps Schedule Busy Bees – June 2010 …
Gretchen had us make tiny house blocks for our last month of Bee Modern (don’t worry…many of us are moving on to Bee Modern Too)…a little bittersweet to be ending my first year long (and then some) commitment to a bee, but it was such a fun type of block to make. She sent us …
I’m involved in a lot of different swaps and bees. One that I have been focusing my time on this week has been the Modern Swappers group. It’s my first swap I’ve ever signed up for and I have no idea what to expect from my secret partner. But I’m trying hard not to think …
I was planning on showing you all this layout for my paintbox quilt and talking about what I’m doing differently… I’m happy with some things about this layout and not about others. But as it turns out, it really doesn’t matter. Because last night my little kitty decided to have some fun and this is …
