Kathy from Pink Chalk was nice enough to feature my sewing space as part of her “Where I Sew” series.
I’ve loved following along along and getting a glimpse into everyone’s workspace! You can add a photo of your own space here!

Market Whirlwind
Wow. For a couple of years now I’ve seen the blog posts about other people going to Quilt Market and it always looked like so much fun. I wasn’t wrong. It’s an amazing time! It flies by and it’s tiring and your feet hurt at the end of every day but it sure is a hell of a lot of fun! It is almost surreal (but oh so wonderful!) to suddenly have everyone you know online all in one place together!
I’m going to blog about a couple of events that happened soon, but meanwhile, my three favorite things that I saw at Market (aside from people or things I was involved in):
The Michael Miller inspiration wall.
And Yoshiko Jinzenji’s amazingly beautiful fabric:
Back soon with more!
A plea for your vote.
Hey all!
There’s so many of you reading, and it would REALLY make a difference if just 50 or 60 of you please please vote! Voting ends Sunday at noon (EST) and you didn’t hear it from me but her competition has a wagon wheel coffee table. So let’s just do the right thing and vote for Cate, pleeeeeeeease!
Thank you so much!!
Modern Log Cabin Quilting Blog Tour & Book Giveaway
When Susan Beal asked me to be a part of the blog tour for her new book, Modern Log Cabin Quilting I jumped at the chance.
If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time you’re certain to know that I have had quite the love affair with the log cabin block.
There was a time when I would sew pretty much nothing but! There’s so much room for creativity with them and as a beginning quilter I was comfortable there. I loved that I had so much room to explore design while also using just this one simple construction method. Modern Log Cabin Quilting shows just how much this is the case. Check out these two amazing and completely different quilts, both with log cabin blocks.
Pretty great, right? The book is filled with ten wonderful quilt patterns and loads of cute home dec.projects…
…and bags too!
The beautiful photography really shows off the fun and fresh atmosphere of all of the projects.
The generous people at Potter Craft have been kind enough to offer up a copy of the book for you! Just leave a comment on this post and you’ll be entered to win. (US residents only please.) Good luck!
I’ll leave the giveaway open through the weekend and announce a winner on Monday!
So busy!
So awhile back I promised myself that I wouldn’t blog about not blogging and here I am breaking that promise. Being freelance with my work, my quilting free time ebbs and flows. After a very long time just quilting a ton (mostly stuff I can’t post here!), on Monday I started back up on a job. So I’m in an ebb and I will be for about three months. I’ll miss my sewing machine but the paychecks will ease the pain.
Meanwhile, the fabrics for the next quilt have been pulled!
Oh gray – why can’t I quit you?!?
Can’t wait to get cutting and sewing this weekend!
Apartment Therapy
Hey all! I’m super excited that the lovely Bethany from Apartment Therapy came and shot my sewing space recently.
Japan
We are all so terribly sad about what’s happened in Japan… Did you all see that Jacquie is giving a quilt away if you donate to the Red Cross? So generous of her!
Check out her post here and please give what you can!
I sew on a Janome Horizon Memory Craft 7700 QCP.
