christmas stitching.

Posted on December 27, 2020December 29, 2020by sarah

matchy-ish minecraft (mom of the year) quilts.

Posted on October 1, 2020October 1, 2020by sarah

it has been a really REALLY long time since i have made a quilt for isaac (nine years to be exact), and he has been asking for a minecraft quilt for quite awhile, so finally, one day, i pulled the trigger. i had him pick out twenty characters/blocks that he wanted and then set off […]

ghost town quilt.
aka: my first and possibly only halloween quilt.

Posted on October 1, 2020October 1, 2020by sarah

i’ve never really been much of a halloween enthusiast, much less a halloween quilter. but, when my friend dana from old red barn co started posting sneak peaks of a halloween ghost town quilt she was making a pattern for, i knew i had to join the fun. the best part about the quilt is […]

an epic unicorn pillow and other random finishes.

Posted on September 28, 2020September 28, 2020by sarah

over the summer, i had a bit of a lull in my quilting mojo. i’m not sure why. coronavirus fatigue? tired of looking at my same old fabrics? grumpy from losing my dedicated quilt room? some of all? either way, i decided to look for a paper pieced project to jump start things. they give […]

epic amh quilt 2.0

Posted on June 20, 2020June 20, 2020by sarah

during a spontaneous trip to my local quilt shop, i discovered they carried some fabrics from the newest line (hindsight) of one of my favorite designers (anna maria horner). even though i just completed my (first) epic anna maria horner quilt, it was inspiration to make another. i’ve had my eye on a herringbone quilt […]

epic anna maria horner quilt #1.

Posted on May 14, 2020May 14, 2020by sarah

for like a million years, ever since i started quilting, i have been hoarding fabric by anna maria horner. i mostly don’t tend to love florals, but her bright saturated colors suck me in. there was one fabric line of hers i purchased and used up (regretably?), here and here, but mostly, i have just […]

coronavirus sewing.

Posted on May 14, 2020May 15, 2020by sarah

i have had a complete lack of sewing motivation during the lockdown. which works out, because i also find myself with very little time to sew. even though our lives didn’t change THAT much, i am missing a weekly day with the kids in co-op so i can run errands. and an evening with anna […]

hazel’s royal court meadowland quilt.

Posted on March 31, 2020March 31, 2020by sarah

this is the tale of that time when i spontaneously joined a quilt along on instagram and whipped out a quilt in record time, using only (mostly) fabrics from my stash, which makes it feel like it was free. i joined the meadowland quilt along on instagram, hoping it would give me some inspiration and […]

the making of things in october and november.

Posted on February 8, 2020February 8, 2020by sarah

in the interest of catching this blog up, i’m lumping together all of my sewing and quilting exploits from october and november (and december if i’m being honest because there was literally NONE in that month). firstly, my pal heather’s birthday is at the end of october and she’s an avid reader. i shrunk down […]
