Do you need a fast and simple gift? Well, these easy fabric bookmarks are a little handmade touch to go with a store-bought book as a gift and are so cute sticking out of the side. And I love them because they won't damage a book! They are perfect sewing project for any age and are also a perfect scrap buster for tiny pieces of fabric that you have left-over from other projects. Hannie helped me with this one and the only part I did was the top-stitching (mostly because she had a friend ... View the Post

Saturday Sewing at Simple Simon and Company Linky Party #2
Hello Ladies! Welcome to our Saturday Sewing at Simple Simon and Company Linky Party #2. (Hooray for week two!) As we said last week this month marks our 4th blog birthday and to celebrate we decided to throw a year long party that you are all invited to. Seriously...what could be more fun than to invite you all over to our place once a week to talk sewing? (Nothing...unless it was meeting all together in person.) In my excitement last week I forgot about setting some party rules. So we ... View the Post
A Scrumptiously Pink Quilt
When I first started quilting...it terrified me. I imagined that there was "one right way" to quilt and that if I didn't know how to do it right....I couldn't do it. But over the last 2 or so years that I have made quilts I have come to realize two things-- (1) There is no right and wrong way of quilting (just ask quilters how they press their seams!) and (2) it doesn't have to be a perfect quilt to be loved. And this pink quilt is no exception to the imperfect quilt fact----but I know it ... View the Post
This is the story of my Golden Blinged Sewing Machine and how I fell in love with sewing.
This is my first sewing machine: Alright...so it wasn't a golden blinged sewing machine when I got it...but it is now. Here's the story: Years ago (and I mean almost 2 decades ago) when I was a newlywed my mom bought me a sewing machine (this sewing my machine as a matter of fact) for Christmas. And I HATED it. REALLY HATED IT. Like...I cried. Why would my mom buy me such an archaic, repressive, stereotypical gift? Me! The girl who hated all things domestic...the girl who would rebelled ... View the Post

National Serger Month is a month filled with projects that you can make on your serger and you even have a chance to win a Babylock Ovation serger. ... View the Post
There’s no green. And it’s all my fault….
I think I have mentioned before, but we are "in between" houses right now....we are a couple of weeks out of moving into our new house (due to some construction) and so we are living out of suitcases at my parents' house who were gracious enough to take in 5 more people. And since we are living out of suitcases, there were a couple of sad kids yesterday that realized that their mother packed them NOTHING green to wear for St. Patrick's Day. Nope, not one green thing. Mom fail. So we borrowed ... View the Post
