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 [...]

Bags & Fabric {WIP}
Posted in Online Fabric Shop, Scrap Projects, Tutorials, tagged Messenger Bag Tutorial, Scrap Attack, The Bag Making Bible on January 18, 2012 | 8 Comments »
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 [...]
{Scrappy} Mod Mosaic Block

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 [...]
Owlettes {Phase 2}

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 [...]
Owlettes {Phase 1}

I admit, I’m not one of those crazy for ‘everything owl’ people, but owls happen to be significant to our family. Interestingly enough, {my 9 yr old son} Cheyenne’s father’s side of our family & my now-a-days hubby have the same Hawaiian ʻaumakua, The Owl. “ʻAumākua are intimate members of the human family, spiritual relationships [...]
Hanging Hoop Wall Pocket

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 [...]
March Bits & Blocks

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 [...]
