A while back our good friend Kimbo from over at A Girl and A Glue Gun ask us if we would like to be involved with her Project Linus extravaganza for Luke's Loves. And of course we said YES!!! (This kind of thing is right up our alley!!!) So, we made a Dr. Who quilt for a patient who is in his or her tween or teenage years. (Because they like blankets to!) I'm sure that many of you are familiar with Project Linus but in case you are wondering about what Luke's Loves is all about here ... View the Post

Teach the One: It Takes A Village (and Patience)
This month as we have been talking about "Teaching the One" to sew I started thinking about my own sewing journey.

Now, at that time I would have without a doubt said that I find myself sewing ragged tote bags most often. But after I ... View the Post
Your First Sewing Project
What was your first sewing project that you completed on your own? Do you remember? I do. I never wanted to sew or do anything even remotely related to anything domestic...you've all heard my stories...getting kicked out of junior high home ec...crying when my mom gave me a sewing machine for my first married Christmas...etc etc etc...so when my mom dragged me to a quilting class I figured the only redeeming part of the night would be the fact that the quilt shop shared a parking lot with ...

Little Big Stuff Book Review
We had the pleasure of meeting Michelle Jensen of Mixi Heart at Quilt Market this last spring where we were chatting all things quilting and long-arming....and she was kind enough to give us an advanced copy of her new book Little Big Stuff which is a delightful new sewing book. We saved it until now to blog about because it is now available to everyone and we don't just have to enjoy it for ourselves. You can find the book HERE (affiliate link) for under $14 dollars which is a great deal too ... View the Post
