sew south (a way belated post).
a few weekends ago, i had the opportunity to attend my very first sewing retreat, in charlotte. sew south was organized by jennifer mathis of ellison lane quilts. there were fifty of us and it was a fun weekend of open sewing. eating. and classes. oh. and fun. duh. i went with 4 other folks […]
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 […]
small things
not much happening on the sewing front lately. i’ve been getting up at 430 to go to the gym. and i have so many kids running around all day. so, when we get our knuckleheads settled in for the night, i am usually too tired to accomplish anything and i watch mindless tv and go […]
twenty twelve review.

owl friend.
on thursday, a friend came over so i could “help” her make a handmade owl for her niece. i ended up kind of taking over the project, mostly in the interest of time. but, here’s the final product… she loves orange, so we used my favorite fabric from field study. (and then i immediately went […]
miscellaneous fabric adventures.
so, i’ve been sewing a little here and a little there. it’s hard to keep up with on the blog because some of it is top secret. and some of it seems to small for a dedicated blog post. so, here’s a random mish-mash of what isn’t top secret. sort of. i made a few […]
a dress for the annababy.
after finishing up the granny square quilt, i was looking for a smaller, less time consuming sewing project. so, i pinned about a thousand little girl’s dresses and then picked out one that seemed kind of easy. first, i made one with some fabric that i wasn’t super crazy about. it was a little big […]
