so, modern maple mania is sweeping the internet quilty world. and i’ve been wanting to make some little mug rugs (or placemats) for my kiddos, who pretty much hi-jack all of the mug rugs in the house. and i knew i’d never finish a whole modern maples quilt, given my time restrictions. so, i got […]
making stuff with needles and thread
new favorite quilt!!!
i am so excited about this quilt. i had seen a lot of “scrappy trip along” quilts on the internets, but didn’t love them. they seemed way too busy to me. until i happened upon this one. i have been hoarding low volume prints for awhile and knew that this would be the perfect use […]
mug rug swap
there’s not much to report lately. in any part of my world. but, mostly in my quilty-crafty world. the quilt dungeon is a lonely place lately. but, last month, my guild had a mug rug swap. we were supposed to bring a mug and a coordinating mug rug and we would pretty much blindly select […]
little apples for baby three.
when we decided to go for baby number three, i knew that i wanted to make a quilt with little apples. for one, it’s mostly gender neutral. and i loved it. and a fat quarter bundle was on super good sale on etsy. so, here we are, anticipating baby number three in four months or […]
birthday supertote
just completed my very second noodlehead bag. the first was this bag that i love. this time, i was making a bag as a birthday gift for my mom, who pretty much carries a bag that would struggle to pass as a carry on for most airlines. so, i opted for the supertote… without further […]
post sewsouth swap – what i made.
after returning from sew south in march, still feeling the emotional sewing high, an online swap was quickly organized, and we all got to work making fun stuff for each other. i made this pillow for my partner. i used interfacing that was marked with a grid, which was a bit tedious but made for […]
kindergarten quilt
isaac’s kindergarten year is winding down. this week, they have a spring carnival, accompanied by a silent auction. his class is auctioning a quilt… his teachers had the kids all draw a self portrait onto fabric and i took over from there…. sorry. the lighting wasn’t great. i waited until the last minute (this morning) […]
jude’s quilt.
thanks to a sew-in for our modern quilt guild (hosted by sewingly yours) this weekend, i was finally able to finish up this quilt for my pal jude…. she picked out all of the fabrics on her very own, except for a few that i threw in that i knew she’d been ogling. we settled […]
baby girl quilt.
my friend kerry is having her third baby. but her first girl. and long awaited girl. 😉 so, i wasn’t sure what to get or make her, given the little amount of time i’ve had lately, but i decided at the very last minute (thursday. the shower was friday) that i could make a baby […]
my new favorite bag of all time.
soooooo…. our quilt guild had melody miller drop by for a visit for our february meeting (which was last night). i had planned to take a little workshop she was teaching today. but, childcare situations fell through, and i was forced to give up my spot. so, i convinced derek that i needed to take […]
