Holiday Gifts to You Blog Hop Schedule! (Friday Foto Fun #101)

It’s so far away, but I know it’ll be here before I know it.  Today, I’m super excited to share the Holiday Gifts to You Blog Hop schedule!...

Today, I am so excited to say that Friday Foto Fun is BACK and I get to share another new pattern!  This quilt is the second of two brand new quilt patterns to be released for Fall Market.  It’s called Square Trickster since there are interlocking squares throughout the quilt.  The quilt used Northern Lights from Island Batik!  Northern Lights is a Winter 2019 fabric...

Binding is the Bottleneck (Friday Foto Fun #97)

So I remember a time where the bottleneck of my quilting process was the actual quilting of the quilt top.   I still have a stack of quilt tops that need to be quilted, but I now also have a stack of quilt tops that are waiting to be bound.  This stack of quilts is brand new.

We’re Moving (again)!! (Friday Foto Fun #96)

We’re moving to Albuquerque!  This was obviously not planned as I JUST purchased a longarm and got it set up at the end of June.  This is also the reason that I’ve been a little behind replying to emails, posting on social media, and the general lack of sewing anything!  It got announced earlier this week, and I can finally share it with you! So...

Grandma above all (Friday Foto Fun #91)

Well, saying this was an eventful week is the understatement of the year.  On Tuesday, my husband and I made an emergency trip down to Dallas as we got photos via text that looked like a horror film from my grandma’s apartment.  It turns out as you get older, there is a risk of varicose veins bursting and losing a lot of blood.  Thankfully my...
