I have a question for all of you today, and I hope you will take a minute to leave me a comment with your thoughts. I am curious to know what techniques in quilting you would like to know more ...
I don’t usually post food/recipes on here, but I do on occasion when they are warranted. I’m sure most of you can relate to being too busy to eat. Whether you’re a crafter that gets absor...
I’ve said it many times, I have a bit of a pen fetish. I just love pens! There is nothing better than having a pen that does just what you need it to. Sometimes I love a fat t...
I had a few questions about what you do with Washi tape. It’s one of those things where you say: What can’t you do with Washi tape?! Really, let your imagination run wild here. Or, ...
I have another post up on the Focal Press blog Mastering Photo! This time it’s for a great idea for the moms, dads and grads in your life. We all know how easy it is to take a million pho...
This is only a little peek at my growing washi tape obsession. This is just a few of the many “cluttering” my desk. I’m lucky that Portland has a few spots to buy it – Collage and Kinokun...
I enjoy the moments I have to do something other than quilting. Don’t get me wrong, I love quilting, but when it’s all you do, days on end, it’s nice to have a change of scene. I took a f...
I have been hard at work over this way (aka freaking out over everything I still have to do in such a short amount of time). The kitties have been sure to keep me company. Newman especial...
Yup, I’m going! Even better, I’ll be teaching! I’ll be sure to share more about that soon. Of course, like most anyone, I am nervous in front of people, but I’m very excited about w...
I love when quilt shops are open on Mondays. I made my way over to Cool Cottons in Portland on Hawthorne on Monday. I love that shop for when I have absolutely no direction for fabric.&nb...
I’ve been taking some photos around the sewing room this week and thought I’d share some of them. I’ve mostly been gathering fabrics for future projects, but working on sewing things up as well...
There are a few of us blog-friends that are doing a mini quilt swap. We each made something we liked and then everyone votes on their three favorites and our “host” will distribute the quilts b...
I thought we needed a photo of Norman for this post. Just to give it that “awwww” factor. So we have the Random.org to help us find those random-lucky winners, now I need to find one that will ...
Comments are now closed! Thank you to everyone that left one!I am so happy to report there is a quilt along being hosted by Megan of City Stitches and Bianca of Sweet Diesel Designs for the Ret...
Here I am, popping in to say “hi”. My camera has sat by unused for awhile. As I typed that sentence I’m thinking “there goes my ‘goal’ for 2012 to take more photos.” We had our firs...
I’ll cut right to the chase, I’m co-authoring a quilt book! Diane of Crafty Pod is my partner in crime, and co-author. The book is being published by Potter Craft and will be released nex...
I love an excuse to come up with a fun project to make. Valentine’s is a perfect “make something” holiday to me and I had the idea for a mini quilt for my mom in the back of my head. She ...
Pugly Pixel has had a few tutorials up that have been on my to-do list to try for awhile. One of them was making an animated GIF. So that one is now checked off my list. The hardest...
Lots of fun blog posts coming up, one or two here and a few elsewhere. I love how pretty everything was after a trip to Collage, so I had to share. I’m so excited to get started!
Sometimes it’s fun to play with the tripod. I’ll just get an idea of a photo in my mind and have to try it out. I have to say it came pretty close to what I envisioned. I think I wa...
I think I have more fun with my Lego Star Wars guys than a 32-year-old woman should be allowed. My collection is coming along nicely and I have oh so much fun taking photos of these little guys...
A little while back Amanda had shown me that Blurb now had an option to do journal-style books with your photos. I was really excited about this, but it was the holidays and I never got around ...
Something I’ve always wanted to do is journal with photos when I take road trips. I love journaling to capture the moments in life. And I have always wanted to have a travel journal. ...
We have a winner for the spot in Stitched In Color’s {Premium} Curves Class with a copy of my Retro Flower’s pattern! Congratulations to Blue Crab Quilting! I hope if you have any ...
Photo by Stitched in ColorWell do I have just the class for you! Rachel at Stitched in Color contacted me awhile back about her Curves class, due to start February 1st, and I was only too happy...
You’ll notice I didn’t do a “Year In Review” post. I don’t usually. I don’t like to see that I didn’t accomplish as much as I’d like to think I did. And I know this last year has be...
I had at one point saw that this was a title due to release soon and thought to myself: I need to check that one out. Then the holidays happened and I forgot about it. I figured I run acr...
With the holidays, I had a lot of things get put to the side. Unfortunately one of those things was blogging about this fantastic book I contributed to. I kept saying to myself “You need ...
The day after Christmas is probably the hardest day of the year for me. It’ so hard to adjust after all the rushing around to get everything done. For weeks I’m swamped with shopping, dec...
I have another post up at the Focal Press blog Mastering Photo. This time I talk about making a photo pillow to give to loved ones. I’ve made several of these for gifts over the years, an...
