Happy February and thank goodness it’s Friday!  I watched an interesting TED Talk lately by Eduardo Briceño – How to get better at things you care about.  It’s an 11-minute video that I had to watch for work but seemed really relevant even for my home life and quilting life. The video talks about the learning zone and the performance zone.  The learning zone is...

Quilty Fabric in Home Goods! (Friday Foto Fun #67)

Happy Friday!  I think I saw this on Mister Domestic’s Instagram page a few weeks… or months ago (it was a while!)  and it was an immediate “I need to get this” moment.   It was a Hot Stuff Oven Mitt kit by Around the Bobbin!  You can buy this kit from your local quilt shop or online directly from her shop!
