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!).

This just in!

Guess what I got in the mail today? This weekend…time to get down to quilting business.

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 [...]
