miscellany in novembery.

Posted on November 30, 2022January 25, 2023by sarah

november is my favorite. maybe because i have a birthday right in the middle. but also because the weather is cooling off. thanksgiving is fun. and christmas is right around the corner. here’s what was happening this november, when i wasn’t quilting, making cakes, or visiting western new york… in very exciting home improvement and […]

recent paper piecing adventures.

Posted on April 10, 2022April 10, 2022by sarah

after making several big quilts in a row (halloween economy block, scrappy christmas tree, gnomes, amh flying geese, and stay gold bear paw), i needed a little break. it was time to work on something smaller, more intricate, cheaper, etc, so i started the search for a new paper piecing pattern. lo and behold, i […]

Posted on February 6, 2022February 11, 2022by sarah

i very rarely purchase entire fat quarter bundles of a fabric collection, but when photos of ruby star society’s new “stay gold” collection by melody miller starting popping up on my radar, i knew i had to have it all. within minutes, i had found an online shop with fat quarter bundles in stock, and […]

(epic amh #4).

Posted on February 4, 2022February 11, 2022by sarah

with the completion of my cathedral windows pillow, i had some anna maria horner themed mojo going, so i quickly moved into the making of my next addition to my epic amh quilt collection. i decided on a quilt made up of groups of four flying geese blocks (so i could use a handy no-waste […]

cathedral windows pillow
(epic anna maria horner quilt collection #3).

Posted on February 3, 2022February 9, 2022by sarah

while i was talking to my quilt friend jen about future sewing projects, we both decided we wanted to make a cathedral windows quilt. but, since they are pretty labor intensive and we’d never made one before, we decided that maybe we should start with a pillow. i knew i wanted to use my new […]

Posted on September 28, 2021October 12, 2021by sarah

for awhile now, i have been admiring the various versions of the finger paints quilt by laura at quilt fort co, so when she announced a quilt along, i was all in. i attempted to pull all of the fabrics from my stash, but a few of the fabric requirements didn’t match up with the […]

spooky sewing.

Posted on September 13, 2021October 12, 2021by sarah

whilst traveling about the country, i picked up a lot of fabric, including quite a bounty of halloween themed fabric. i also might have ordered a bundle of the cutest halloween line ever and had it shipped home. basically, i now own considerably more fabric that i can ever use in my lifetime. so, when […]

honey bee pillow

Posted on April 8, 2021May 14, 2021by sarah

After I finished Anna’s book nerd quilt, I needed a new project to keep my momentum. I didn’t want to start a new full blown quilt, so I made an impulse purchase of the honeymaker paper pieced pattern, and got to work on a new spring/summer themed pillow for our collection. I had high hopes […]
