Block 2 is revealed! April Adams from JANDA Bend Quilts designed this amazing block! The block is made with templates or paper piecing. Sticking with the Moda Grunge theme, my tree tops are Grunge Evergreen, the trunks are Grunge Basics Bison, and the background is Grunge White Paper. I am not a big fan of making templates due to my lack of experience, but I...
That was a quote photo on GoGoKim’s Instagram earlier this week, and it could not speak the truth anymore clear. I finally got a new cutting table that is the proper height rather than my plastic table set up. I got a kitchen island from IKEA like the ones I had seen at the retreat center. Because the cutting table doesn’t fit in my current...
Pardon my ’90s parody title, but I couldn’t resist tying back to the Backstreet Boys. I also must preface this post that I do not regularly do any hand embroidery.

So some time earlier this week I had a mini panic attack that I was not getting nearly enough stuff done. Stitch Supply Co. is having one of their “per person” retreat weekends, which means anyone can sign up to claim one of their 16 beds at their retreat center without renting out the entire space! So that’s where I’m headed today and can hopefully...

Well ladies and gents, I’m in Dallas this weekend to visit my family and oh em gee it’s hot hot hot! I know I grew up here, but I’ve definitely grown accustomed to the weather up north! The best part about visiting is looking for fun new Quilt Shops in the area or returning to some great new ones! One of the shops close to...
I wish you a merry quilt-a-long, I wish you a merry quilt-a-long, I wish you a merry quilt-a-long, and a happy new year! I’m already caroling for this holiday season! Join me along with a dozen other bloggers in this fun quilt-a-long adventure this fall to get a Christmas Quilt done before Christmas! So what exactly is a Quilt-A-Long? A Quilt-A-Long (or QAL) is a...
