I’ve jumped on the bandwagon with this quilt, thanks to a tutorial by blue elephant stitches.  It’s granny squares and I”m going scrappy!  I intended to have this particular quilt {in another design} entered into Rachel of Stitched in Color’s Scrap Attack and admittingly, I didn’t finish in time.  Honestly, I didn’t even start it [...]

I’ve been having the worst cravings for stitching up bags.  I means seriously, I dreamt about it one night.  That’s disturbing right?  Well, as I was buying my spring textbooks on amazon, I found a great deal on Lisa Lam’s The Bag Making Bible.  Oh yes, I did!  I bought that sucker in a flash [...]

In spending quite some time pondering ideas for a new quilt for our living room, I think I have the golden ticket!  My hubby built me a really nice shelf/quilt hanger and I’ve just been using quilts I have at home for display.  None of them are quite right and I’ve known a new project [...]

After completing phase 1 of my owlettes, improvements were necessary.  Isaac’s owlette just wasn’t settling with me.  Plus Luke & Carmen’s eyes were too far apart…must fix now!  Isaac’s eyes are now much larger and more proportionate to his body frame.  And I moved Luke & Carmen’s eyes closer together, much better!  Cheyenne inherited Isaac’s [...]

Thanks to the lovely a girl in paradise, I found this sweet hoop of an idea!  I wasn’t looking for any sort of inspiration and then WAMP it hit me right up side the head.  It’s Sarah’s birthday you see & she loves herself some hoops!  She started doing a bit of sewing with me [...]

Gosh, I fought through this month’s do. Good Stitches charity squares.  Not because I don’t love them.  I do.  Not because they were hard.  They’re not.  Ugh, why?  I honestly couldn’t tell you other than my same ol sob story, I’m busy yada yada.  Plus, they were time consuming.  I finished one square mid April [...]

Here’s to another do. Good Stitches charity block for the month of March.  This block is completely representative of my March 2011.  It’s been one block after another and I can only remember bits of it all.  One wedding after another, oral surgeries, ortho appointments, spring break, mainland visitors, 100 cupcake order for a sweet [...]

Rachel, the originator of do. Good Stitches, is the quilter for the month of February.  She is putting together a “Punchy Wonky Star Quilt” full of red, pink, and white.  I can’t think of any better quilt & color combination for the love month of February.  Her quilt top vision was a burst of wonky [...]

Elizabeth of Oh Fransson was our charity quilter for do. Good Stitches {A Charity Bee} for the month of January.  She instructed her stitchers (that’s me) to construct  2 mod mosaic pieces each.  If you like this technique I suggest you visit her tutorial, which is very easy to follow.  Here’s what I came up [...]
