I am kind of addicted to the quilt-as-you-go method. Thanks to whoever was the genius who figured it out....and thanks to all those who have posted tutorials on this simple quilting technique! It's fast and easy and GREAT for little projects. A couple of friends in my neighborhood had babies recently and so I decided to use the quilt-as-you go technique on some baby bibs. By the way, baby bibs were one of the first things I started making when I started sewing again 10 years ago and they ... View the Post

A costume and a log cabin….
I know on Wednesday I promised you a costume....and while the costume is done. Um, the photo shoot is not. ARghhh. Sorry! Hopefully we will get some time this weekend to shoot it and I will show you on Tuesday. In other related sewing news, I have been wanting to try out a quilt-as-you-go method for a while now. I bookmarked (yes, I still bookmark...I really do belong in the dinosaur age) THIS tutorial over the summer....and have been wanting to try it out. So, I finally pulled ... View the Post
Scrappy Strip Quilt
One of my goals this year is to "use up my stash." And while going through my scrap bins a couple of months ago I found 2 quilt kits that I bought um.....probably 3 years ago? (best guess) This is the first of them...and I will show you the second a bit later (it's not quite done yet). Sheesh....it's a good thing I am doing clean-outs....you never know what in the world I am going to find in the way of fabrics. Well, the fabric was there all neatly packaged up....but I couldn't ...

A Halloween Quilt.
A month or two ago I decided to clean out the fabric scrap bins (yes, it is embarrassingly bins). So, I went through all of them and started sorting them by color. I threw away small pieces (I know some of you are cringing right now), gave away two grocery sack of others...and then got down to one bin of my own! Major improvement. And when I was done the oranges and grey scrap piles ended up next to each other...which made me think it was time to cut them up into a Halloween quilt. Which ... View the Post
Helpful Tips for Perfect Pressing
Today I am sharing a post that I shared awhile back over at the Moda Bake Shop. I used to think that "pressing" and "ironing" were the same thing until one fateful night... I was at my pattern drafting class which was taught by a wonderfully eccentric retired wedding dress designer. The instructor was helping me with a dress and sent me over to "press" a seam. I walked over to the ironing board and began my version of "pressing". Within seconds I was being very LOUDLY reprimanded and ... View the Post
Fabric Fest Happenings (and a little something for you)….
A few weeks ago, liZ and I had the opportunity to attend Fabric Fest, a sewing conference that was put on by Riley Blake Designs in Las Vegas. It was a wonderful mid-week conference of sewing, food, and new friends and we really had the best time. We met people from all over the world (hello new Aussie friends!) and we laughed more than we have laughed in a long time. As part of Fabric Fest we taught a pattern-drafting class for drafting a children's bodice and then did a panel discussion ... View the Post
