The sewing industry is huge. But the more I look into making the plunge, I wonder just how expansive this industry is and how many new budding designers it will be able to handle. That in itself is a terrifying thought on how to “make it.” I tend to fear that the market is or will be over-saturated with fabric designers, pattern designers, bloggers, etc. ...
There were a lot of firsts last week for me. I completed my first original design quilt top and also finished the largest quilt I’ve made to date. With both of these accomplishments in one week, it’s made me want to reflect on why I started quilting. It’s a good reminder, as I transition into making more of the same original design quilt top and start...
So this quilting thing has expanded to 3 of the 4 bedrooms upstairs. The only other bedroom is the master bedroom where we sleep. Therefore, I think I have to thank my husband for allowing me to temporarily take an additional 2 rooms outside of my sewing room. I used the floor of one of the rooms to lay out the Moroccan Getaway quilt. With all...
I am a Janome lover now (in addition to being a Bernina lover). My little Jem Gold is such a smooth and easy to use machine, I love it! I am on the road this week and am traveling with the Janome. I got bitten with a “finishing” bug and am now on a mission to finish as many WIPs (works in progress) as possible. ...
I attended the Sew Pro Convention this past weekend in Chicago. My emotions while there went from excitement to anxious to overwhelmed to downright giddy. There were so many things I learned that I’m figuring out how to turn into action steps for an overall plan to kick start my side hustle (aka future business). First and foremost, I would really like to thank the organizers...
I’m back at my Alma Mater this week to recruit for my day job. It’s unbelievable how fast time flies and I can’t believe just how much has changed. Therefore, not much crafting/sewing/quilting this week at all! After these few days on campus, I’ll be heading to Sew Pro in Chicago! I’m so excited to meet everyone and learn more about the industry. I have...
I’ve read that Tuesday is the most productive day of the week. But this week, it’s really Monday posing as Tuesday as we all get back to it after the holiday, so I’m still not running super efficient yet. Let’s recap the past week and the progress I was able to make: Cozy Christmas – I finished sewing together Row 1. I’m so proud that...
This blog is going to be dedicated to sharing my passion for quilting. I’m an engineer by background, so I thrive with lists and goals (and completions)! I will be giving “weekly updates” to share progress on my WIPs, keep myself accountable, and plan the next week’s goals on quilting. Throughout the week, I will blog on topics such as what I do to maximize...
