(Please note that affiliate links have been used in this post.) This quilt was a rather quick finish, and the design is very simple. Yet again, I’ve concluded that I enjoy simple, straight, and classic lines with an overall scrappy combination of fabrics. This quilt has a wide variety of fabrics in blues, pinks, yellows,… Read More
(Please note that affiliate links have been used in this post.) I’ve never done a post like this before but thought it could be a little fun. 🙂 In random order, here are twenty things about me. Nice to meet you! 1. We just bought a chicken coup and are raising nine little chickens. We… Read More
(Please note that affiliate links have been used in this post.) This quilt has seen extremely slow progress. I’ve let it sit for over a year now. I’ve never sewn a quilt with Dresden plates. I’ve never appliqued anything onto a quilt. I’ve never sewn with curves. I’ve never hand quilted a large quilt either.… Read More
(Please note that this post contains affiliate links.) I have three very blond haired little boys. I absolutely love some of the newer fabrics with some appropriate prints for boys (like this pirate print), but some of my all time favorite fabrics are the sweet girls frolicking in the fields of wild flowers.

I clicked through to a couple online stores the other day to find some new cushions for our patio chairs. Our cushions have seen better days, and we went all last summer without cushions. I had resolved that I’d slowly get them all recovered, but I never took the time to finish more than two.… Read More
(Please note that affiliate links have been used in this post.) March of 2017. That’s when I snapped the above picture. I’ve waited and waited to cut into that stack of fabric. I wasn’t completely sure what quilt pattern or block I wanted to use, but I also had too many other works in progress.… Read More
(Please note that affiliate links have been used in this post.) You may have read before on here that I don’t take too many custom orders. I think I could easily get wrapped up in running a quilting business and a blog, and some days I think I want to call this my part time… Read More
Basting is likely my LEAST favorite part of the quilting process. If I understand correctly, I seem to be in good company among other quilters. It’s a bit of a cumbersome task, and it must be done well to ensure good quilting. Late last year, I was basting a huge quilt. I was as careful… Read More
(Please note that affiliate links have been used in this post.) It seems as though I notice more and more details in my sewing projects as I learn and grow in my skills. Maybe the basics are so basic now that I have mental margin to pay attention to the details. Over time I’ve learned… Read More
