Pouches!

Today I decided to make a quick project to test out my new Janome 6260. After a quick survey of my supplies, I went with the Perfect Box Pouch by Indie House, since I was in dire need of a new makeup bag. I wanted to use something fairly sturdy, which made me think of [...]

Not perfect, but..

I’ve been doing a lot (a LOT) of hand piecing while saving up for a proper sewing machine. The list is as follows 1)The beginnings of a Little Folks voile pillow, which will be completed when I receive my new machine (it shipped today!). These are 1″ hexies: 2) a Little Folks hexagon quilt, which [...]

Progress!

Today, I took a break from Ezra’s quilt to work on another that’s been in progress since June. Well, that’s when I bought the fabric, anyway…I wanted to use Heather Ross’ Mendocino line in a way that would show off the fabric but also be bright and fun. It was originally supposed to be a [...]

Achievement

Remember when I said I wanted to make hexagons? Scratch that off the list. Also, fabric giveaways!: -A Plus Quilt Shop is giving away three gorgeous charm packs -The Fabric Shopper is giving away an organic fat quarter set that I absolutely adore — so pretty and airy! -Our Cozy Nest is giving away supplies [...]

Goals of all sorts

I am finally beginning to realize that without a list of things I need I am nearly hopeless, unless I’ve [...]

Raku

Today I had a Raku* moment in Joann fabrics. Usually I don’t wander into fabric stores. I’ve had bad luck with certain chains carrying groan-inducing fabrics (like those my boyfriend, Tripp, chose for a quilt I have yet to make him). You know the ones. Covered in garish prints, not a single designer bolt in [...]

The chaos!

Oy vey! I haven’t posted in almost two months, due to various travel (to Nathan and Jennifer’s lovely wedding) and a furiously packed work schedule…and now Tripp and I are in the midst of packing for…our move to Austin! We decided to move about a month ago, and yesterday was my last day at work. [...]

Mendocino happiness + a local treasure

Mendocino arrived on Saturday, Tripp brought it to work when he picked me up — I was really that excited! I checked the mail box every day after ordering it, hoping that by some miracle it would get here the next day…not likely with the USPS, but hey, a girl can hope (I didn’t have [...]
