Even though it doesn't look like it, I have been doing some garment sewing recently. And you will probably see more of these things in the future because it sometimes takes awhile behind the scenes to get them up and ready for you. (Especially this time of year...) So, I am giving you a couple of sneak peeks and one finished garment. (Yay for the finished one!) First up is a sneak peek of Hannie's Christmas dress.... I am in love with brocade this season (you are going to see ... View the Post

Because we love you…..we are giving away a QUILT!
We are so excited about today. This little beauty has been a work-in-progress for a couple of months and now she is ready for her debut and ready to be mailed off to her new home...... WHICH COULD BE YOUR HOME! Yep, we are giving this quilt away to one of you lucky readers. I guess I should start at the beginning of the story. A few months ago, liZ and I went to Sewing Summit. It was awesome and we got to take a class from the very famous Amy Smart of Diary of a Quilter, where we made ... View the Post
$5 Friday—Handmade Baby Bibs {Quilt-as-you-go}
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
