Happy Birthday to me (yesterday)!!! For my birthday, I treated myself to a really fun sewing retreat!!! I’ve talked about Modern Stitching Affair (MSA) before, but it’s finally here!!! YAY! Tara Curtis from Wefty Needle and Sara Lawson from Sew Sweetness are the two instructors for the event. I am SO excited to learn from both of these amazing women. We had lots of prep...
Typically I balance my weeks with secret sewing and shareable sewing. However this week, I did a LOT of secret sewing and very little (aka none) shareable sewing! I can’t wait to be able to share some of the projects I have been working on with everyone in the (near-ish) future. I did want to share a new project that I’ve given myself. It shouldn’t...
Happy Friday!!! It’s the 13th and only 13 more days till my birthday… but most importantly it’s Friday!!! I go home later today, leave this beautiful 80 degree weather in Kansas to the impending foot of snow at home. I also realize I forgot to post the winners of the Michael Miller Challenge at Sewtopia (read my recap here). Jane won 1st prize for this...
Hello from Salt Lake City! It’s been fun to get away to Sewtopia for this weekend, and I will be sure to give a recap on Tuesday. Prior to leaving, I was digging through my sewing room and found my stash of abandoned blocks. Most of these blocks were created with the 2017 Quilter’s Planner Weekly Blocks, but I only made the first 22. I...
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...
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...
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...
This week’s (early) edition of Friday Foto Fun is extra special since I’m hosting Thank Goodness It’s Finished Friday!!! It’s already Friday in some parts of the world, lucky them! I can’t wait to see everyone’s finishes this week! My finish this week is my Fox and Friends Quilt by Sew Fresh Quilts! This quilt top has been finished for SO LONG! I realized last...
I know this was a short week since I got home from QuiltCon Monday night, but it was a crazy long week! I do have a few things to share with you! Curated Quilts put out their call for entries for their next issue and it’s all about triangles! I can’t wait to start making a mini quilt with this beautiful color palette. Please note:...
