2019 Planning Party

Yvonne at Quilting Jet Girl is hosting this year’s planning party again! I figured this would be a great way for me to detail out my goals for the upcoming year. Looking back through my blog posts for my 2018 goals, I’m happy to report that I hit most of my Powered By Quilting goals but came up short on my personal sewing and fitness...

2018 Midyear Review (Friday Foto Fun #39)

Happy Friday!  One week living in Missouri and I am still unpacking my sewing room.  I thought this week would be a great time to do my 2018 Midyear Review.  Yvonne from Quilting Jet Girl hosted the 2018 Planning Party last December and this is my midyear review. Powered by Quilting Goals: Release at least 4 full patterns this year, so approximately once a quarter....

2018 Planning Party

Yvonne at Quilting Jet Girl is hosting this year’s planning party! I figured this would be a great way for me to detail out my goals for the upcoming year. Looking back through my blog posts for my 2017 goals, the only tangible goal I documented was releasing 4 patterns this year.  I’m happy to say that I achieved that goal, and I would like...

Last Month of 2017! (Friday Foto Fun #8)

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...

Black Friday!  (Friday Foto Fun #7)

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!...

I got my baby back!!! (Friday Foto Fun #6)

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...

Sewing Expo Part 1 (Friday Foto Fun #5)

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...

A Zipper Broke My Sewing Machine (Friday Foto Fun #4)

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...

Snowy October? (Friday Foto Fun #3)

It’s the last Friday in October, and the weather forecast is predicting snow! Say what?! I love fall, and I’m pretty unhappy that winter seems to be descending quickly upon us!  Hopefully everyone else is still enjoying warmer weather.  This Friday I’d like to share my progress on a few of my projects! I decided that I’d start on my Fox and Friends quilt for...

Lucky Friday the 13th (Friday Foto Fun #1)

Welcome to the first of many Friday Foto Fun Sharing posts! I am starting this linky party because I feel with my full time job, I don’t finish enough projects to do a Friday Finish sharing party.  But I would still like to celebrate the smaller wins such as working on designs or finishing up a block or two on a longer term project! <div...
