I love pre-cuts. I love the neat little squares and rolls they come in, all tied with a cute ribbon. Every time I buy one I feel a little ripped off, but I buy them anyway. Im all about easy quilts, ...
I came home from work Friday night, ate a big salad, and went and got a new tattoo (heres my first). What, thats not a totally normal sequence of events? I know ink isnt for everyone, and after looki...
...or at least thats how it felt. I am infinitely happy that my last big project has been scratched off the list with a vengeance. Months ago (maybe December? But definitely January) my ol pal Lisa a...
Im a night early with my quilt block but Im excited to share... Lets get the geek confession out of the way, though. The whole time I was making the flower for this block I kept thinking of the words...
What a delightful weekend! The sun was shining. I got a lot done. My mother looooooves the gift we all gave her for Mothers Day (happy Mothers Day to all of you, by the way!!). And I dont feel that &...
You know whats deceiving? Y seams. Theyre all "Oh, you just dont sew to the edge, and we fit together like PB and J." Psh. Please, y seams. You lie. This weeks quilt block was called Cactus F...
This week I completely finished the blankie I was knitting for the soon-to-be nephew. My grandma crocheted him a stunning blanket, but I wanted to make him one that my sister wouldnt mind if it got s...
Hi everyone!!! I have a brief post tonight (no quilt block this week) with an update I did and a few that are on the way. OK, you know how sometimes I forget things? Or I take a looooong time to get ...
Some of you asked (because Im absent-minded and didnt tell you) what kind of camera my new camera is. Sorry about leaving out that detail - if it was me Id be shaking my computer yelling "WHAT KI...
I bought myself a new camera a few weeks ago. There was nothing wrong with my other one, but I wanted something with a little more oomph to it. Since my mother is lacking a camera right now, I will p...
I havent made a wavy top tote since last years sew-along (for all the info see the Sew-Alongs tab at the top). I had to follow my own tutorial for measurements and seam allowances its been so long. I...
You know how when you get something, no matter how silly it may seem, you feel the need to let the world know instantly? My new shoes got delivered today. I have been stalking that tracking number al...
Last week when I saw that our QAL block was equilateral triangles, I was all "Psh. Please. Easy. I just made apple cores." You should already have that inkling that things didnt go well...
Heres some random stuff Im going to tell you. Youre welcome. ~ I went to yoga tonight for the first time since I dont even remember when. I feel like I did better than I thought I would, but Ill know...
A few weeks ago (three, to be exactly exact) my aunt and cousin came to my sisters baby shower from a bit of a distance. My cuz is a senior, and her prom is on the way, so they asked if I could make ...
Oh my. I am plumb tuckered. Wow. Like seriously. I made an apple core block, and it did me in for sure. Now, I have this die for my GoBaby, but I felt like it would be cheating since everyone else in...
Just a warning: nostalgic, rambly, and pic heavy. But at least there will be funny socks and short shorts. If you ask sister Alicia (who teared up) and my mother (who was sick about it--almost litera...
Howdy! I have had quite a productive weekend that has left me feeling quite satisfied with my sewing progress. Right after work on Friday I headed up to Joanns to dash in and grab a half yard of pink...
This weeks quilt block would have excited me more if I didnt have a fabric cutter and the tumbler die. One of the reasons I got that thing was so I could make an entire tumbler quilt (and one day I w...
....because Ive shown you this particular bag a squillion times before. But the thing I love about making made-to-order bags is that each one is different. This one came together almost like a dream....
I hope you all have a lovely Easter, if its your wont to celebrate it! If its not, I hope you have a delightful Sunday, doing whatever it is you find yourself doing :)
I was so stinkin efficient today. We were let out of work early today for our long weekend. I came home, cleaned my car, cleaned and dusted the bedroom (and boy it needed it! slightly embarrassed.......
This past weekend we had the baby shower for my sissie Rachel. The only thing she requested (because I told her to shut it and stop being a control freak before she could name a bunch of other stuff)...
I had a very busy weekend and am still a bit wiped out. I almost cried when the alarm went off this morning, and spent the day fighting an "Im tired" headache. I didnt think Id be able to mak...
My knees hurt. My feet hurt. Its only partially because Im getting old, harharhar. Ill let you know why later in the week (not why Im getting old but why they hurt). Hopefully you can stand the suspe...
Hey there hi there ho there! Is anyone else in a mild state of shock that we are almost into April? At work I overheard "first quarter reports are due blah blah blah" and had to look at the c...
Im a lazy gardener. So lazy I dont even do it if I can help it. I do love flowers, though. Love the colors, the scent, the infinite variety. I just dont like dirt. Or sweat. Especially sweat. Ill be ...
MONTHS ago (see here) I bought myself an AccuQuilt Go Baby fabric cutter. And MONTHS ago I used it to cut out a gazillion and seven tumbler blocks from fabrics in my scrap box. And because I either h...
Ive been one busy sewist this weekend. My next quilt block is finito already, and I finished a custom order. I always feel so excited when I can cross something off my list. But today Im going to sho...
Ahoy ahoy! Just popping in real quick to show you the latest wonky quilt block. Our QAL started again after a bit of a hiatus, but were still on the wonky stuff. I made this block in about a half hou...
