Goodness! How is it Thursday already? I feel like the week just slipped away from me. But before it goes entirely, I wanted to share with you all my very fun sewing weekend I had this past weekend in Chicago. I attended the second Sewtopia weekend, this time held in Chicago, and this time held …
I was just checking out the doll quilt swap blog and to my surprise I found that my haunted house style house was one of a few that was featured in a recent post there. It’s so fun when you unexpectantly find yourself on another blog. I just hope that this quilt lives up to …
Well life has been crazy lately and we’re finally back home…to more crazy life. Today is my husband and mine’s 8th wedding anniversary. Someone told me that 8 years is a new beginning and I love that. We’ve had some crazy life the last few years and a new beginning is an interesting idea. But …

So I’ve pulled a quilt out from under the bed and dusted it off and started working on it again. It feels good to make progress on one of my unfinished pieces. I’ve had these blocks in various stages for about 2 years and I just could not figure out what to do with them. …
Well, I posted a sneak peak of the string quilt that I was working on before Easter. I did manage to finish it in time, but by the skin of my teeth. I even machine stitched the binding (something I’ve never done!) in order to finish in time. I was taking pictures of the quilt …
Well I’ve been quite busy sewing away on the latest quilt. It’s a bit larger than I normally make, plus it’s a string paper pieced quilt. So that all adds up to a lot of work. Here’s a pic of all the blocks finished and ready to be sewn together. I’m actually much farther than …
