I got Grippy!!! (Friday Foto Fun #52)

Happy Friday to my ONE YEAR anniversary for Friday Foto Fun!  I hope you’ve had as much fun participating in this as I have hosting 🙂 I am so excited to share that I received a sample of Grippy!!!  I’ve been waiting since Spring Quilt Market to try this out on my own rulers!  Grippy is made by Odif, the same company that makes the...

Quilt top or Mock up? (Friday Foto Fun #19)

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!

Friday Foto Fun

Okay so the name of the post is definitely a work in progress…  I am starting a weekly Linky party to share progress photos from the week and use it as motivation to keep moving forward in each of our respective projects!  So everyone is virtually sewing together and sharing progress on Fridays.  This will start next week, I hope you join in on the...

Web Piecing Tutorial

I am participating in a blog hop in a few weeks with some very awesome ladies in the Stitching Stars Blog Hop next month.  The grand prize giveaway is going to be a quilt made from blocks from the participants.  Such a great giveaway prize, I can’t wait to have everyone see the finished product.  Here is a sneak peak of the blocks I made...

Is it Spring yet?

I hope everyone had a great holiday and spent it well with friends and family.  It’s this time of year right after the holidays where I am over the snow and wish it were Spring.  The only thing that is nice this year is being off of work the week between Christmas and New Year.  Lots of quilting going on in my house with lots...

Sew Pro All Stars Blog Hop

Hello from Shanghai!  I’m traveling for my day job this week, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to do a Blog Hop with the fabulous group I attended Sew Pro with!  And today’s the day!  I’m so happy to introduce to you my very first pattern inspired by my Sew Pro attendance this past September.  This pattern is called “Spinning Vectors” for the spinning...

November is here!

Happy November everyone!  I hope everyone had a fun Halloween.  We are the odd couple out in the neighborhood (we don’t have kids).  Thankfully, my husband bought candy for the Trick-or-Treaters because we had people before dark and before our porch light got turned on!  I thought the porch light was the universal signal, I guess not! Anyway I got my Quilter’s Planner yesterday and...

Join me in the Treehouse Club

Join me in the Treehouse Club

This week was a roller coaster.  I will preface this with, I am trying to not be as much of a perfectionist, and I think I strive to be exceptional (and with that comes unrealistic goals at times) because ultimately, I fear mediocrity.  So sending my pattern out to just the proofreaders and reading all the feedback was not the most pleasant experience for me. ...

Why Quilting?

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...
