A Checkered Garden Quilt; A Finished Quilt Top
Most of the quilts I make are larger than twin sized. Making this throw sized quilt top for my three year old was a pleasant (and quite quick) endeavor.

New Pillows in my Etsy Shop
These were a joy to sew. I think I’m finally at the point where sewing pillows comes with very few glitches. I’ve made enough of them now that I’m zeroing in on my best practices and processes. (It’s been six years in the making.)
Floral Pillow Covers for Sale
In all honesty, I would not consider myself an impulse buyer. I’m not a huge shopper, and most of my purchases are quite calculated. If I go to the thrift store, I go for something specific…lest I come home with dust collectors. I’ve used the same purse for over six years now.

Half Square Triangles, Hand Quilting, and a Big Finish for Me
On January 26, 2020, I sewed the last stitch on this quilt. This is the first large quilt I have entirely hand quilted, and I actually finished it friends. I have no regrets, and I’ve enjoyed so many moments slowly stitching away. You can’t be in a hurry when you decide to hand quilt a huge quilt.

I chuckle. Three covers is not many, but it’s the most I’ve ever listed at once. 😉 I recently finished a quilt that looks exactly like this pillow. It was my inspiration.
New Vintage Sheet Pillow Covers
I’ve contemplated depleting my vintage sheet stock pile. They’re tricky to sew with. I have to cut around the rough or stained spots. They’re not always easy to find in great condition.
But there’s just something a bit freeing about them.
Winter Wonderland Quilt Top
This is the first Christmas / winter quilt top I’ve made. Every year when we pull out the Christmas decorations, I wish I had a Christmas quilt to pull out to throw on the couch. My children are still young, and the more special Christmas decor we set out for our home, the better. They love it.
A Scrappy Log Cabin Quilted Pillow Cover
(Please note that affiliate links have been used in this post.) The scrappy log cabin block has become pretty common these days in my sewing repertoire. Not only is it a great way to use up strips of scraps, but I love the freedom in color and width of the strips. While I have branched… Read More
