Traveling Pic-Stitch bloghop
This post is part of the Travellin’ Pic Stitch Blog Hop. From 1st October – 30th November we are hopping all over the world EPP-ing in some fantastic locations. Check out the full list here and be sure to check out the other participants. Life is crazy ’round here these days! I’m drowning in fabric to be sewn into samples for Quilt Market (luckily it’s awesome fabric), and my WONDERFUL husband surprised me with a last minute ticket to Sewing Summit! Excited does NOT adequately express my feelings right now. totally worth the all-nighters I’m going to...
Read MoreBlock of the day
it seems like journalling is becoming a thing these days, and part of me wants to jump right in and play along, either with lists or special books or whatever, but another part of me remembers the Project Life album I requested 4 years ago that remains unopened, etc, and thinks perhaps something simpler would be better…. so last night I was looking at journals online (because I rarely listen to the latter part of me, I’m all impulse), and saw some 365 book, advising how to do a project for 365 days…. and a lightbulb lit up So here’s my quilt block of the day (for...

I got my postage stamp quilt top done just in time. Quilting it will have to wait till June, as I’ve been informed that the craze of market has begun. This week I have to paper piece a quilt top: Design, sew, and write the pattern for a duvet cover; make a clutch bag or 2; make a pair of ladies shorts, and a pair of reversible baby pants; design, sew, and write the pattern for a sewing machine cover; make some free-motion-quilting samples; write up the pattern for that lift-the-flap bunting quilt; sew a shop sample and write the pattern for that hobo bag I designed, and, um, maybe...
