Happy Friday everyone! I survived the first week back in reality…I mean work. It was a super short 3 day week for me since Monday was New Year’s Day, and I’m on vacation today! I’m nice and warm in Orlando, FL for the Walt Disney World Marathon this Sunday. It’s not going to be the best run as I’ve been plagued with foot injuries all...
Today is a huge milestone for me since it’s my 100th blog post! That’s so exciting! I have been blogging for about a year and a half, and it started out really slowly before I hit my stride. For everyone that’s been reading since then (Hi, family!), thanks so much for joining me on this journey thus far! This week at home has been pretty...
This week’s edition of Friday Foto Fun is extra special since I’m hosting Thank Goodness It’s Finished Friday!!! I can’t wait to see everyone’s finishes this week on the last Friday before Christmas! My finish this week is my Tabby Road Quilt! This amazingly original name comes from Tula Pink’s Tabby Road fabric line which is used in this quilt!
Is it too late to finally put decorations out around the house? Our house is decoration-less at the moment and it feels more like January…cold and not very festive! I feel like I’m in denial that Christmas is coming. I haven’t really worked on any of my Christmas-y projects this fall except the I Wish You a Merry QAL quilt. Maybe next year right?! Anyways…I...
This week I was traveling for work in Murfreesboro, Tennessee and I stayed at Tru, a new Hilton brand family hotel. It’s a really trendy hipster more affordable hotel. I saw inspiration for quilts everywhere with all the bright colors and designs throughout the hotel. My favorite was this amazing wallpaper. I actually want to make this into a quilt! (Who would have guessed? It...
Snowed in October, but high of 50 on Sunday?! I’ll take it! This was my first full week at home in awhile, and it was so productive! Plus I released my latest pattern this past Tuesday, and I got shout out from Kate Spain, how cool! I am so happy I got to meet her last QuiltCon even though I completely fan-girled. Anyway, on to...
Happy Black Friday everyone!!! This day is always so dangerous for my credit cards because of the amazing deals all the retailers offer! I hope everyone snags a great deal today (and tomorrow through Cyber Monday)! I am having a pattern sale going on at my Etsy shop for Black Friday through the end of day Saturday! Use code BLACKFRIDAY17 to get 30% off my patterns!...
Happy Friday indeed! I got to pick up my baby from the shop yesterday!! I’m so excited to be able to sew with it again! So the technician told me that he took the bottom portion apart and didn’t find the needle pieces. Then he put it back together, retimed the machine and it worked. Now how do I learn to fix that myself when...
Original Sewing Expo started in Minneapolis yesterday! I took this opportunity to take a few classes outside of my wheelhouse since it has more general sewing offerings than just quilting. The Sewing Expo continues through this weekend, so this is just part 1 and a short recap of the classes I took yesterday. I took a Rose Star Topper class from Debby Kratovil. This uses...
I love bags, but I’ll admit I’m not the best at making them. I decided now was the time to change that and purchased 80 assorted zippers to make zipper bags, handbags, Sew Together Bags, etc. In my mind, it was going to be fabulous. But…The very first zipper bag I was warming up with, I hit the tiny little metal part of the zipper...
