A huge improvement.

Had a great sewing weekend. Also got my sewing room reorganized. It had gotten a bit out of hand… My fabric stash had… erm… out grown it’s storage…

Yes. I hang my head in messy stash shame.
But NOW…!

There’s even room to grow! Had to lose a small table to fit the new book [...]

Dots!

Why am I suddenly so obsessed??

Does this happen to everyone?

Flea Market Fancy – The Return?

It could happen!  If we all unite and make our quilting voices heard as one! Please do click over and add your name to the list!

Could you imagine the fabric buying frenzy that would happen if they re-released the line?? I know that I’d certainly buy up tons!!!

Um so…

I committed to pebble quilting the queen size hexagons…

I’m gonna be at this for a long, long time. Otherwise, my sewing space is in the middle of a complete overhaul.  Can’t wait to get it all organized again and show you all pictures!
Oh and there is a bunch of interest in a Los Angeles Modern [...]

Tonight!

Just a quick note (no sewing time these days!) to remind you all to watch Project Runway tonight at 10PM on Lifetime!!

Independently of my personal involvement, it’s just such a quality show about people with amazing skills.  We all can sew, but these people can SEW!

Weekend sewing.

What’s this??

It’s a finished quilt top and back! Now basting has to happen and on a quilt this big it involves moving furniture in my living room. Not going to be fun but I’m so eager to quilt this one.  Will tackle it soon!
On another note – what do you LA locals think [...]

Did you guys see??

Denyse Schmidt’s new fabric line!!
I’ll can’t wait to see it in person but so far I like what I see…  the small scale patterns are so to my tastes. What do you think?

It’s the small things.

Like coming home to a huge box of batting.

Oh batting! You have such potential…
Or actually having a little something going on on the design wall…

Progress on blocks for one of the bees I’m in.
On a completely different topic…. A couple of you have mentioned Project Runway so I thought I would clarify.  This season [...]

Thanks

for all of your nice comments about my last post.  I’m feeling much better about it all.  I think that I just needed to get it off my chest and now I’m going to not to let it get to me.  I think that Jacquie put it best… I’m going to try to “blog without [...]

Bonkers.

That’s a bit how I’m feeling these days. Having started this new job, I am having a tough time transitioning away from my sewing machine.
I love blogging – I really love it. But I also put pressure on myself about it. I hate that I don’t have any new sewing to show [...]
