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!
I bought my Juki serger at the Original Sewing Expo last November, and I decided that I wanted to make a custom dust cover for the machine. I made the cover without a formal pattern, and I think it turned out pretty well. Here is the following process I used to make my custom serger cover. Please note that sergers come in all different shapes...

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...
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!

Happy day before Thanksgiving to all my US readers! Bonus blog post this week reviewing AnglePlay the Easy Way by Andi Stanfield and Mary McElvain! I met Andi at Sew Pro Convention last year, and I couldn’t be more proud to be reviewing her self-published book! The book utilizes the AnglePlay templates, which are acrylic templates that have extreme angles, not just the standard 60...
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...
This past weekend I attended the Original Sewing Expo in Minneapolis. This was my 3rd year in a row attending, and I was underwhelmed compared to the previous years. I was completely overwhelmed my first year since I had barely started quilting and didn’t know anything about sewing. Last year, I could only attend one of the days but I remember enjoying it a lot....
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...
