Sewing, Crafts, and Home DIY
It's been a long time coming but we finally have a new batch of quilts in the shop! Six new quilts, mostly new designs (two are based on existing popular designs.) I have three more quilts that will be in the shop as soon as they are bound. That being said, I have an important announcement to make. I am finished selling quilts. {GASP!} Last summer, right when I was gearing up to start selling quilts full throttle, I kept having this … [Read more...]
Yay!! A fabulous fabric giveaway! Let me back up first... So does everyone know my "Diamonds" quilt? That aqua minky fabric in there (the super soft dimpled fabric) I originally found at Hobby Lobby about three and a half years ago. Well everything was going good, and the Diamonds quilt was (and still is) my most popular puff quilt. One day I was like 'Hmm! I'm out of aqua minky!' so I took myself to Hobby Loggy (as … [Read more...]
In my near-three years of blogging, the number 1 question I get asked is "Where do you get your fabric?!" People have told me many many times that I have an eye for colors and design and I choose excellent fabrics that go together. Here's what I have to say to that---Thanks!! But also, I'm going to let you in on some of my secrets to buying and selecting fabric. DISCLAIMER: This is not a post about how to get fabric on the cheap. I … [Read more...]
Presenting my newest puff quilt pattern! I call it Puffy Island because all the little puffs with the flat white sashing in between remind me of little desert islands in the ocean. This puff quilt is a mixture of puffs and traditional flat quilting--the best of both worlds! I chose a rainbow ombre scheme for this quilt because lets face it...it's super cute. I've always loved the rainbow array of colors and I've got a few projects coming … [Read more...]
The flu is still rampant in my household and now my little 13-month-old has it. There's really nothing sadder than a baby who is so sick...they don't smile, they just cry and want loving and holding and have no energy or life in them. So that's what I've been doing, the best I can with two other kids. Just holding her and watching WAY too much kids TV (to the point of wanting to blow my brains out.) But today during a rare happy moment … [Read more...]
I've been blogging now for nearly three years. At the end of this month will be my 3-year Bloggiversary. Three years doesn't really sound that long but it is SO weird to think back to those first few months of blogging. My blog has grown a lot in those three years. It's by no means a HUGE blog but (thanks mostly to Pinterest) my traffic has gotten much better with each year. I want to share my Blog Story with you. I know that it … [Read more...]
2012 has been a very, VERY weird year. Some things were great and some things you couldn't pay me a trillion dollars to go through again. I'm actually glad to see it go because I feel like it was mostly a very difficult year. I have realistic expectations for 2013--I will accomplish some goals, I will fail at others. Some things will be really good, most things will end up mediocre. And unfortunately, some things will be sad. But one … [Read more...]
