I recently won a free Laser Cut Quilts kit from Quilter's Candy Box. I love entering giveaways on Instagram. I do try to only enter the ones for things I would enjoy, but lucky for me, I'm a fabric junkie, so I like almost all of it. This kit is called Sew Peachy, and was … Continue reading Sew Peachy
I had another shop sample to work on last week. It is for an octagonal table mat. Not really my thing, but fun to make. This pattern is from Sweet Treasures, designed by Terri Staats. It came together easily, although I did make a mistake as I added the rounds. It's important to add the … Continue reading The Centerpiece Tablemat
I have been connecting more closely with the local quilt shop where I bought my Gammill. The team at Olde City Quilts is very nice, and it is totally worth the drive to visit. I mentioned to the owner that I would be willing to make shop samples. I had no idea how enthusiastic Judy … Continue reading Playing with Cuddle Fabric
I get stressed out when I have a lot of partially finished projects and planned projects piling up. To help myself feel organized and productive, I decided to work on a Dogs in Sweaters quilt, pattern by Elizabeth Hartman. I chose to work on it "full time" until it was done, so I can have a … Continue reading Dogs in Sweaters

Jan sent me a quilt top she purchased from Vicki, at Vicki's Crafts and Quilting. The pattern she used is "Oh My Stars" by Anka's … Continue reading Customer Quilting!
My Number One Fan reminded me yesterday that I haven't posted this week. Sorry, Mom! I've been distracted from the blog with managing my quilting business and learning to be social. It's hard! I have kept up with my Long Time Gone, and I'm still on track to finish on time. This group was all … Continue reading Long Time Gone, Week 10, 11 & 12
I have been practicing with Darla, getting my courage up to offer my quilting services. I've done a few charity quilt tops, some practice pieces, two t-shirt quilts, a bunch of baby quilts (and sold two!), and I think I'm ready to offer my services to the public. My friend Jan, at Color, Creating, and … Continue reading Longarm Quilting Sale
Whoops! It has been a long time since I have posted an update on this project! I was a little behind on my blocks until today, but over the past three days I have finished off the ones I was lagging on, and I am now current with week 9. Jen Kingwell's pattern is challenging but … Continue reading Long Time Gone – Week 6,7,8 & 9
My friend Heather and I did a craft swap this year. She made me these amazing fingerless gloves, because my hands get cold when I hand stitch or use the computer. This isn't a great photo - they are a fabulous purple color. I made her this tea cozy. … Continue reading Tea Cozy for Heather
I haven't been posting much, but I have been busy in my studio this week. I tested some patterns for Joanne at Unicorn Harts. You can find her patterns on Craftsy. Her patterns are beautiful, and come together very nicely. These ones are Leader of the Pack and Barmy Bear. They should be available … Continue reading Busy, busy
