A while ago I finished up this bag made from a template by Nancy Zieman for Clover. I had a second bag to finish but didn’t have the motivation to do so. Two weeks ago I started using my finished bag. When my sister in law saw it, she said she liked the format and that […]

Last week I was able to complete my patchwork baby quilt. As planned, I tried out free-motion quilting an orange peel pattern following Elizabeth Hartman’s tutorial. It went quite well. My quarter circles are not perfect, but I like the overall effect. As I was going I discovered that I was more comfortable pushing the quilt sandwich instead of pulling it toward […]

For the month of April in the Joy circle of do. Good Stitches, we were asked to make two Star Weaving blocks following this tutorial. This is mainly made out of Half-Square Triangles (HST). I never tried this out before. It was great to do so on two blocks first. We had to use Kona […]

There is also Ta Dot in Black and in Lime. There is Kona in Cactus. Sorry, I don’t have the names of the other […]

I finished up the top panel for my serger cover today. My husband had taken a few days of vacation this week to extend the Easter Holidays. That is why I had a bit more time to sew and make some progress on a few projects. Back to normal tomorrow. The past two days, I […]

Saturday, I had a package waiting for me at the post office. It was my copy of Stitch Summer 2012 from Interweave. It came with my hip squares table runner. It’s the second time I get a project published in Stitch and it is something really rewarding to actually hold the magazine in your hand […]

I got my sewing machine back this week. Just like new. As a first project, I decided to sew the machine cover for it. I had cut the fabrics while my machine was away and I just finished up the top today. The prints are all from the Early Bird collection by Cosmo Cricket. The […]
