In case you’re curious, here are the blocks I’ve received from my 12 Squared quilting bee so far (here’s the post explaining what I sent and my Bauhaus inspiration).

I am really excited about this one, even though I know it will take me a while to get around to sewing it up. Our group has [...]

This is my month to send out fabric for 12 Squared, the online quilting bee I’m participating in. I purchased a wee bit of some of Denyse Schmidt’s Hope Valley and some solid gray fabrics, but other than that, I picked everything else out of my stash.

I have to say, it’s been hard to keep [...]

ETA: We have a winner, and it’s PJ (comment #24)!! Thanks to all who entered, the drawing is now closed.
If you ever read Adorn (RIP),  you probably know the work of Kayte Terry (or, perhaps you know her blog, This is Love Forever). I’d known Kayte for a long time via my crafty internet circle, [...]

Sorry for being so silent over here- still settling in and honestly, I’m knee deep in work! I need to step back and do some personal crafting soon (and I’ll let you know if/when I do). But for now, here are a couple of projects I did for the Fall/Winter issue of Stitch magazine.

The cover [...]

I’m still adjusting to our transition and working my fingers to the bone on a big project, and truthfully I haven’t had time to craft a thing for myself lately. I miss my yarn shop job–I’d always have a personal project to work on that was easy enough to stitch between customers. It’s raining cats [...]

Somehow durning my cross country move, I got it together to release this pattern just in time for fall. I have to admit that I’m going to miss fall as I knew it (short lived though it was, it has already snowed in Bozeman this year). I wrote this pattern last year, which is why [...]

If you’ve had your eye on Amy Butler’s new softwares collection, here’s your chance to get it for free. I have a review copy on offer, which I did install (so I could review it) but as far as I know it should still be good to go for one of you who wants to [...]

How’s that for a blog post title? I hope you are all enjoying your Labor Day weekend. I didn’t even realize there was a holiday until I was about to ship something off for a major deadline and I realized, oh, I have to ship it Friday (not Monday) in order to get it there [...]

My old friend the sewing machine has been sitting sadly, waiting for me to come back to her. I can’t even remember the last time I sewed something (it was probably more quilt blocks), but whatever it was had purple bobbin thread. Hmm. I finally uncovered her so I could sew up my August quilt [...]

Now it’s time to announce my “Real Life” book events- which start next week!
But first, let me show you a sneak peek from the book, one of my favorite projects: the Butterfly Apron!

Accent your favorite (or new favorite!) apron with a butterfly pocket and trim. I like this trim because you work it as you [...]
