The Concept of Time-Poor (Friday Foto Fun #25)

Can you believe March is almost over?!  Where has the time gone?!  The concept of time-poor is something I’ve wanted to discuss for a while.  I keep saying and treating time as my most limited resource to get everything accomplished.  I apologize that this post is going to be a bit more wordy than usual.  Do you remember the Frame It Up v2 that I...

Bee Hives!  (Friday Foto Fun #24)

It’s almost April, which means it’s ALMOST time for my turn to be Queen bee in both of my bee hives!  I’ve picked out my block, but I haven’t made a sample yet.  I think I’m going to go for a scrappy look.  But first I need to show off my blocks that I made for the Queens this month!  First up is this really...

Metro Rings Mini Quilt

I love mini quilts so much and mini quilt swaps are my absolute favorite!  A few weeks ago I signed up for an Alison Glass mini swap.  I figured this was a great opportunity to use some of the Alison Glass fabric that I love and have been saving.  I’m trying to actually use my fabric that I love rather than hoard, so this was...

Always Be Prepared!  (Friday Foto Fun #23)

I spent this week in Kansas on a business trip, and I’m finally going home today!!  I brought my Janome Jem Gold so I could sew from the hotel room at night.  It’s not the best setup, but it works ok.  I pre-cut all my fabric before the trip to prep it to be sewn, and I use the hotel iron and ironing board. I’ve...

Try a Technique – Fabric Weaving! 

This month’s Island Batik Ambassador Challenge was Try a Technique that was new to me!  The fabrics featured in this post were given to me by Island Batik and are a part of the Season’s Shades collection.  I decided to pick Fabric Weaving as my new technique!  I purchased these Wefty Needles over a year ago but never had the courage to try weaving.  Funny enough, I am...
