Another week has gone by, and I'm a little shocked to be honest. Here's my weekly update for the week ending Sept 30. Mobius Radial Sunday I spent the day enjoying a virtual class with Audrey Esarey of Cotton and Bourbon. OMG. She was so good. Class was packed with info on paper piecing, partial … Continue reading Weekly Update, Sept 30
This week I've been busily working on making a butterfly messenger bag, using the Victoria collection by Blank Quilting Corporation. The Jaftex Ambassadors were offered the opportunity to make a project using a pattern from Patterns by Annie, and I chose to make MJ's Messenger bag. I was planning to make it for my son … Continue reading Butterfly Messenger Bag
Last week I put the final stitches into my big Kawandi. It was a bittersweet moment, like all finishes are. Bitter because I have been spending time with this piece for almost a year, and I have enjoyed every moment of working on it (except for when I had to hand wash it, because Oscar … Continue reading Making a Large Kawandi Style Quilt
I went on a lovely hike on Saturday with my husband. Bushkill Falls is gorgeous, although it was a lot of stairs for this fluffy quilter. I hope this active weekend was the start of something new in my house. Secret Sewing Reveal My Glorified Star of the East quilt project has gone live on … Continue reading Weekly Update, Sept 23
This idea has been on my mind for a little bit. I'm not the starter or big revolutions, but I do feel like I'm tired of making quilts with straight edges. This insistence on square corners and straight lines has been rubbing me the wrong way lately. With that in mind, I chatted with Irene … Continue reading The Revolution Starts Now

Finishing projects definitely helps. Performing successfully for an audience helped, too. I'm feeling much better as the week wraps up. Here is my weekly … Continue reading Weekly Update – Sept 17
I have a new project up on the AccuQuilt Blog today! (If you are visiting me from the AccuQuilt blog, Welcome!) I have been working on Rainbow Road since February this year. That's right - seven months from my concept being created to it being live on the AccuQuilt website. I'm so excited to be … Continue reading Rainbow Road Quilt with AccuQuilt
Hey, guys! I've decided that my ideal format of just sharing 1-2 project per week isn't working for me in my current headspace. I have too many moving parts in my life right now, and focusing on them is getting tough. So, I'm going to do a brain dump and bring you along. Enjoy! (I'll … Continue reading Weekly Update – Sept 9, 2022
I can't believe I didn't share about this experience earlier! I've gotten into a new publication, and it is so beautiful! I wrote an essay about Kawandi Quilting and took some photos of my process. The wonderful women at Curated Quilts turned it into such a lovely article - I'm awestruck and proud at the … Continue reading Kawandi Quilting in Curated Quilts
I've been thinking a lot about Stacie Bloomfield (Gingiber)'s Leverage Your Art course this week. I'm an affiliate, and there has been a lot of chatter on that team about selling seats. I knew this would be uncomfortable for me, but I got so much out of the course, and I'm not the typical student … Continue reading Leveraging My Art
