march miscellany. 2021 edition.

Posted on April 1, 2021May 14, 2021by sarah

In like a lion, out like a lamb. Or at least that’s the saying in Western New York. Pertaining to the weather. Well, it works here for me too. I started out March in a really bad place about teaching. And then, I quit. I gave my notice on March 3rd, spent the next two […]

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 […]

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 […]

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

a lot of october 2019 was spent in acadia and shenendoah national parks. but here’s what we were doing when we weren’t out in the wilderness. well, firstly, i spent a lot of time meal prepping and cleaning for the acadia trip. the rv was pretty gross after a long time of being unoccupied, so […]

rainbow alternate ending quilt.
(ie: new favorite quilt).

Posted on August 13, 2019August 13, 2019by sarah

so. one other benefit of stationary living is that i have a permanent quilting space. i was able to quilt more than i thought on the road, but it was a bit of work to set up and break down all the time. and, there was no room for fabric storage, so i always bought […]

hogle zoo and the last day with new gramma.

Posted on November 26, 2018by sarah

due to a slight miscommunication while planning, my mom’s flight out of salt lake city was a day later than we were scheduled to be at our campground. so, while derek drove the camper to the next location, we (kids, me, mom) headed to slc for a last day of adventure, before hanging in a […]

Posted on November 2, 2018by sarah

my baby brother and his girlfriend surprised the whole family when they announced they were having a baby a few months back. she had expressed interest in my most recent quilt, so i knew this was the perfect opportunity to make her (or the baby, whatever) a quilt. when they found out it was a […]
