It’s done! I completed the Meadow Mist Midnight Mystery Quilt! Doing this quilt was such a great experience. Here’s why: I got to try so many new techniques and the instructions were very clear for each of them so I feel like I learned so much. This was my first time for many common quilting…
Here’s another little one hour basket which I made. These are so fast and easy. This was actually made as a sampler for a class I was supposed to teach. After pre-cutting the fabric for the 10 baskets, these strips were left over and I couldn’t let them go to waste so I used them…
I recently joined up with another mystery quilt: Murder Mystery Quilt. I had so much fun with Midnight Mystery Quilt (finish post coming soon!) that I was game to try another one. This one is super cool and totally up my alley. Not only are you doing a mystery quilt, but you’re also solving a…
One of the many things I subscribed to at the beginning of the year was the Bag of the Month Club. Basically you sign up and they send you a new bag pattern each month for 6 months (and if you signed up in January like I did, you got a discount). I found out…
Making rope bowls is awesome. They are fast. They are fun. They are useful. And now I can make them with SPARKLES. So many wins in one project. Perhaps you haven’t realized yet, but if I can add sparkle or bright colors to a project, it’s instantly better in my opinion. This means rope bowls…
I finally finished my neon quilt which I started so long ago! I actually finished it in 2015 but I didn’t have a chance to take photos of it until 2016. I’m really super happy with how it turned out. I used a 15 piece layer cake from Riley Blake in Neon Basics and a…
Happy New Year! It’s taken me a while to get back to blogging since the holidays due to travel and other activities. I’ve been busy making but sometimes the path from camera to blog is slow. And now when I finally have time, the Lightroom->Flickr plugin is down 🙁 so my other posts will have to…
Things have been busy around here with the holidays. It seems like everyone tries to cram everything in at the end of the year. I love the parties and get togethers, but it also makes it hard to find time for other things. I’ve been doing things, but just haven’t found time to post. Also,…
Check it out — I’m actually caught up! Just in time to buy more fabric at Black Friday sales 😉 For November we were really just putting together the pieces that we’d already made, namely the square in squares and the flying geese. We also made a couple of half square triangles used for the…
I’ve been busy working on a variety of things. There will be posts. For now, enjoy this rope bowl. I made the bowl on my sewing machine using a tutorial from Flossie Teacakes that I found via the Sew Mama Sew Handmade Holidays. I’m amused that it’s listed under “hipster crafts” because it’s not really…
