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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
So maybe that might be a little dramatic to say spray basting changed my life, but for my frustrations with domestic machine quilting, it’s helped immensely! The last few weeks leading up to the Piece and Quilt with Precuts Blog Hop, I kept saying I needed to spray baste and quilt the top to finish it for the blog hop. I kept pushing it off...
Surprise! Double post this week because of the fabulous blog hop I’m taking part in! See yesterday’s post for my introduction and to visit the other awesome bloggers who are also a part of the post. Also forgot to mention yesterday that there are some giveaways on the host’s blogs from some amazing sponsors! What fun! ~*~*~ Last week, I missed my regular Tuesday post...
