I went back and looked, and the first photo I have of the beginnings of this quilt is from July 24th. And today is September 28th. Two months it took me to make this quilt. For me, that is a long time. Now it would be one thing if I’d done a ton of sewing [...]
Hey all of you LA area readers – we’re finally having the first meeting for our new Modern Quilt Guild the evening of Oct. 12th and now’s the time to join us if you haven’t already! Just let me know if you’re interested and I can add you to the invite list. Can’t wait to [...]
Oh the fabric I have to sew with as soon as my full time quilting mania kicks into gear when I finish my current job. I can’t wait! Just a couple more weeks… The blog is gonna be mellow until then, but oh, the sewing I’m going to get done soon!
Does this mean I’m finally for real?? Has taken me forever to get around to getting cards. So glad that I finally did. Busy weekend ahead with probably very little sewing time… But only two weeks left on my job before I’m back to the full time sewing. I can’t wait! Then I’ll actually blog [...]
Hey LA people! Are you on the west side of town? I’m also teaching classes in Santa Monica at the Urban Craft Center! If you haven’t been there before, it’s a great space! I’m teaching the basic “how to quilt” class over a couple of weekends this month (9/19 & 9/26) and next (10/18 & [...]
I actually got a lot of sewing done this weekend but I am not allowing myself to show you another photo of the hexagons until it’s photos of the completed quilt. I finally finished the quilting and have the binding to go! So for today, just a little house! And yes. That is a dog [...]
Did you guys see? Home Ec. in its very own beautiful store front location is now open! I’m teaching a fun patchwork pillow class there later this month. Would love to see you there! Tell your friends! P.S. For you fabric nuts, have you seen the vintage sheet fat quarter packs Jenny sells?? So great…
- Enjoyed my new and improved design wall. Yes, I have finally moved on from the tri-colored random bits of felt! If you don’t have one of these, I can’t recommend it enough. I use a piece of batting thumb tacked to the wall. Simple and transformative for your design process… At least for me [...]
I’m going to sew as much as I can during it! Finished my blocks (couple days late!) for August of 12 Squared. They are making me want to make a whole quilt in this style. Bees are such great ways to try out new and different things on a couple of blocks! A Ning group [...]
A couple of people have asked for a tutorial on the pebble quilting I’ve done. There is so much info out there about free motion quilting that I’m not going to cover the basics again, but along with those other links, I have a post here about them. I figured it would just be easiest [...]
