Today we are going to look at 10 Tips for Photographing Quilts. One of my biggest struggles early on when we first started blogging was my lack of skills with photography. All my pictures were dingy and yellow and photographed on my un-vacuumed carpet (so embarrassing). Not that I an expert now by any sense of the imagination, but I have taken lots of classes and learned quite a few tips and tricks over the years. Trust me, I still have a long way to go, but I love the learning process in ... View the Post
13 Easy Zipper Pouch Tutorials
If there is one thing that I really do love to make it is zipper pouches. They are a quick sew and perfect for a handmade gift because everyone needs a new bag!

When Skies are Grey Doll and Quilt
When Skies are Grey Doll I don't have the chance to make handmade baby gifts these days (and it makes me feel old). So, when I do get the chance I jump on it...because sewing for a brand new baby is just so fun. One of my college friends recently adopted a baby girl after having four boys and is in girl heaven. Her new little girls is darling and I wanted to make her one of her first dolls to celebrate her new arrival to such an amazing family. Handmade dolls take a bit of time to do but ... View the Post
When Skies are Grey Fabric Tour–15 Minute Pillowcases
I am fairly confident that every item that I make with our When Skies Are Grey fabric will be for my children...dresses...quilts...dolls...skirts...and these pillow cases. I even made one for my 12 year old son who I rarely get to sew for anymore. I kept it all black and white...which, I think, was a good choice...as he said "it's ok...not too girly" when he found it on his bed. (Which coming from him is a most excellent review....heck, it's amazing he even noticed that it was a new ... View the Post
