It's been fun over here at EileenJosephine, but I felt like I needed something fresh for the new year. I've moved over to Wordpress and to a new domain! Check out my new blog - Small(ish) T...
I have been working on this little cross-stitch project for my sister for SO long. Like, months? I meant to have it finished by her birthday (Sept. 23rd...) But she's coming to visit me next wee...
My last-minute decision to go to the Sewing Summit was one of the best ones I've made in a long time... It was SO fun. I met a ton of great girls that I can't wait to see next year! The who...

This quilt has been finished for so long... like months. Do you like it? It's pretty pink and pretty crazy! I haven't decided what I'm going to do with it yet. Christmas gift? Sell ...
After months of back and forth, I finally got my ticket and booked my room! I was really nervous about it... flying by myself to a big unfamiliar city to be around a lot of strangers? Anxiety! But I ...
Two Swoon blocks down, seven more to go! This one really pops compared to my first. Hopefully everything will mesh once they're all finished and up on the design board. For this block I used 100...
The weather has been SO beautiful lately. We've been doing a lot of playing outside :) Vada still hates it when I take her picture. She just totally ignores me or runs away. We bribed her into &...
And on the zillionth day, the Lord said, "Let Lindsay finally complete a Swoon block." And she did. JEEZ I feel like it's taken me forever to get to this point. I haven't had a lo...
Vada didn't want to take pictures with me until we all started doing it. Dorks!! :) PS- I'm wearing a shiny black apron because I just finished coloring my mother-in-law's hair. I'...

Well, I finally finished my do. Good Stitches block for July... in August. Whoops :( This time we were asked to make 48" x 6.5" strips made of primarily red fabric. I waited wayyy past the ...

While EileenQuilts.com is under construction, I went ahead and made a little web page within my blog with all of my longarm quilting information. So if you're interested in having a quilt quilte...
I finished my first-ever mug rug. I got obsessed with paper piecing when I started my Farmer's Wife blocks and just had to make this! This was the first pattern I ever tried to paper piece a lon...
I'm looking forward to having a fenced-in yard one day, with some nice grass for Vada to play in... Maybe next year? Greg's at Floyd Fest this week (he prints all the merchandise and sets u...
They're already 8 weeks (and 16 blocks) into it, but I finally got my stuff together and joined the Farmer's Wife Quilt-A-Long Flickr group! (The goal is to sew two blocks per week, 111 tot...
I was lucky enough to guest post for Danielle while she's on vacation for a few weeks. Check out my post on Sometimes Sweet today! Thanks for having me, Danielle :) <3 Lindsay
Poor little Vada is afraid of the dark. I'm pretty sure she picked it up watching Yo Gabba Gabba... You know, the one where Muno is afraid of the dark and Foofa helps calm him down ;) Seriously ...
I'm always "window" shopping online looking for cute stuff. Maybe someday I'll gain the confidence and magically become photogenic enough to do real outfit posts and show off clot...
My friend Kaitlin came into town this weekend to meet Ursula and quilt a few of her quilts. This evening we finished up her absolutely BEAUTIFUL Amy Butler Love Hexagon quilt. We did a pretty, loose,...
I think this photo pretty much sums up Vada's attitude by the end of our South Carolina trip... She had a really hard time sleeping while we were there. She cried forever before naps and bedtime...
One of the highlights of our trip to South Carolina last weekend was going to Split Creek Goat Farm. Vada LOVED it. She just couldn't get over the goats, or "goots" as she calls them. ...
We are all totally pooped after our weekend in South Carolina at Greg's Dad's house. Vada kissed a baby goat on the lips. I'll have some pictures of that later, but for now... goodnigh...
Here is my lovely Denyse Schmidt "Hills N Hollers" quilt, quilted on my longarm (Ursula.) Since the shapes of the "hills" are so organic, and a little wonky, I knew I wanted to do...
Far Far Away III, 1001 Peeps and some pretty Bella solids... I cant wait to make some cutesy stuff out of these, but Im so nervous to cut them! (Happens every time.) I have a few ideas of little thin...
We had a super lazy holiday weekend in Virginia Beach at my parents' house. I'm feeling rejuvenated and like I've finally caught up on sleep that I've needed for a long time, espe...
I finished quilting seven Quilts of Valor just in time for Independence Day! They all turned out beautifully and I'm so honored that I am able to participate in such a great charity. I hope the ...
