On Friday, I had a day off. My second day off in a row. I usually don’t enjoy my first. I stay worried about work and what I am missing and have daydreams of getting fired. Neurotic, party of 1. But by Friday, I was ok. And so we did one of our favoritest things, […]

Liberty Chevron Pillow
Along with the awesome mini quilt I received in the Schnitzel and Boo mini quilt swap, I received some beautiful Liberty fabric. I love it so much, and immediately wanted to make something out of it. I got 75% of the piecing done, realized I was ONE HST short, and lost steam. And it sat […]
241 Tote: Love and Hate and Purple
Oh, 241 tote – you temptress. When I first saw the swoon block, a drum beat started in my head that I *had* to make it. The same drum beat started when I first saw a picture of the 241 tote – not so much that I wanted to make it, but I wanted to […]
Quilting Minimalism
I have been on a slllloooooow path to minimalism. I discovered that I wanted to embrace some of the tenets of minimalism earlier this year – about the same time my fabric obsession kicked into full gear. I have done pretty well with my foray into minimalism – I have a very small wardrobe now, […]
Charmless Charm Pack Cherry!
This was sort of my present to myself. The wall hanging I made for the dining room started to bug me – beautiful fabrics, but too girly. And so when I got some Suzoko Koseki fabric for myself for my birthday – I decided I wanted to combine it with some linen for a new […]
JOY! A Quilt Finish for an Amazing Woman
I have found one of my favorite things about quilting and sewing is the ability to express my love through a handmade gift. Forcing a little zippered bag or a quilt on a friend makes me very happy. (Definitely not a unique feeling amongst sewists, I’m sure – based on all of the swaps and posts I […]
Fabric Fancy: Glasses
Today’s fabric fancy all started with this post on Red Pepper Quilts. I love love love her quilts, and I can guarantee that whatever fabric she backs her quilts in, I will want a million yards of it. I usually am able to resist, but I absolutely couldn’t with that Julia Rothman typewriter print. Which […]
Project Linus #6: Dots and Squares Baby Blanket
I love this quilt. Love the colors. Love the polka dots. LOVE LOVE LOVE the Oh, Deer! (Momo for Moda) fabric on the back… the little deers and squirrels… the soaring birds… Here is the front – the only thing I would do differently is to make all the centers of the squares white – […]
Fabric Fancy: Grey, Grey, Grey, and Grey
I am obsessed with greys. Ever since this quilt, I have loved adding grey to bright colors – here and in my new bed quilt which I hope to get back from the quilters soon. I didn’t have any greys when I started quilting again a few months ago, and so I am trying to […]
FOCUS!!
No. More. Fabric. I mean it, srsly. Total ban on all fabric shopping until Valentine’s day. This. Means. You. (well, me). I have tried to focus on projects that use up my stash – the problem is that so much of it is pretty old and not what I would choose to quilt with nowadays. […]
