Are you making gifts for the holidays? There's a mere six weeks to get everything done! I always make something personal for my kids' teachers, and my oldest has a knack for asking me to make gifts for friends at the 11th hour. My solution is to keep a collection of great ideas on hand to [...]
I was looking through my blog over the weekend, and realized that I never shared my finished quilt top for the #apqquiltalong project! I had a few little deadlines pop up on me and I folded up the top before I got it posted here - sorry! My quilt measures 75" x 93" - which [...]
The best part of swapping online, is the surprise in the mail! Â I love the mini that Jenn made for me! Special prints, adorable maverik stars, and fabulous quilting. Â What more could a girl want!? Jenn also included an adorable mug rug, and needle card - I'm scouting out the perfect spots for each of [...]
I'm late in posting today, I had to wash my mini, and bring out all the texture! Love those crinkles! All the geese are pretty close to perfect, and the differing sizes were a fun puzzle to put together. I think my favorite part is the binding! Â I had to stop myself from adding it [...]

Here's what I had fun working on over the weekend - Did I mention that fall is nearly over here in the mountains? Â The trees are looking bear, and there is a definite chill in the air; as in I have already scraped my windshield a few times! The fabrics include a wide variety of [...]
This is the first round I've managed to participate in the Pillow Talk Swap, and I'm excited to be involved. Â To be perfectly honest, I haven't even started, and barely checked in on the group as I wrote this post, BUT there are people already shipping their covers! Â I need to get it together...thank goodness [...]
Yesterday was a great mail day!  After shipping off my swap items, I was prepared to sit back and wait a  week or more to have anything show up at my door.  Thankfully I didn't have to wait long for this one! The goal for this swap is to make something for your "sewing room", [...]

On Friday, I received some fun mail - remember the pouch I made? Â This is the pouch, that my partner made [...]
