H2O 2Go Sling Revisited!

Since the H2O 2Go Sling by Linds Handmade (with some hacks) was such a great bag for our last Disney trip, I decided to make 2 more for my nephews for when they are going with us in a few weeks!  Technically, this was a revisit of a pattern for March Bag Day that I haven’t shared yet.  Anyway, it was so fun picking out...

To Longarm or Not to Longarm (Friday Foto Fun #86)

To longarm or not to longarm, that is the question I typically ask myself after I finish a lap size quilt or larger.  And by longarm I usually mean quilt by credit card and ship it to a longarm friend/quilter.  Lately, the question has been should I buy a longarm?

Friday Fri-YAY Giveaway Day! (Friday Foto Fun #21)

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:...

Quilt top or Mock up? (Friday Foto Fun #19)

So last week, I talked about only using your Camera to mock up a quilt (read about that here).  I have a confession to make… I really love PhotoGrid.  To be clear I am not affiliated with PhotoGrid whatsoever, I just really heart any sort of collage maker app.  Look at this really cool quilt!

Who needs an app? (Friday Foto Fun #18) 

There are so many phone applications out there these days that can do anything and everything, but sometimes it’s much easier to just use your camera!  Let me explain…  I am working on my Frame It Up volume 2 quilt, and I already walked through my color placement process (read about it here).  However when I start actually making the quilt top, I always want...

Jelly Roll Rug Mania (Friday Foto Fun #17)

Have you seen all the Jelly Roll Rugs pop up on Instagram lately?  I kept seeing them in my feed and I apparently missed the sew along.  I decided to make one anyway! How cool does that look?!  I LOVE it.  So here’s all the details and tips if you want to make one yourself.  The pattern is from RomaQuilts, and you can pick it...

Frame It Up Volume 2 (Friday Foto Fun #16)

I have been away on business all week, but that didn’t stop me from being creative nor sewing my heart out last weekend!  I finished up my secret sewing faster than I planned so I decided to open up my Longitude fat eighth bundle to start working on my twin sized version of Frame It Up. (Read about Frame It Up here) The pattern has...

It’s Stitchin’ Time (Friday Foto Fun #15)

Happy Friday! Happy Embroidery! I joined the Cozy Blue Stitch club after trying one of their embroidery kits in December! I was able to do some stitching this week when I was recovering from being sick. It was actually a lot of stitching. I finished off this month’s stitch club and I LOVE this design! “Show Up, Be True, Be Kind, Keep Going” I think...
