Scrappy Fabric Cards

I have seen lots of scrappy projects floating around this year and after realizing how many itty bitty scraps I have collected due to Amanda Jean\’s inspiration, I decided that I needed to use them in more than just the traditional quilting ways. I wanted to write my friend a card and instead of pullingContinueContinue reading “Scrappy Fabric Cards”

Texas Tickertape

I wanted to show this to ya\’ll so badly but I wanted to finish it and actually get a couple of good pictures of it in the sun before I revealed this piece to the world. You know those times that you think of an idea and HAVE to make it right then? Well IContinueContinue reading “Texas Tickertape”

Target Quilt

So the day before I took vacation to go to my quilting retreat my coworkers were asking me what I was going to do while on vacation. They know I’m a quilter, but when I proceeded to tell them that I was going on a quilting retreat and that I was taking vacation to doContinueContinue reading “Target Quilt”

Modern She Made Pillow

Long time no post! I\’m in the middle of moving so I\’m trying to make sure everything gets done early so that I\’m not running behind on swaps or bees with two weeks of downtime! This is an old swap project that I just haven\’t posted about yet. For the latest Modern She Made SwapContinueContinue reading “Modern She Made Pillow”

My current partner at work requested a make up bag. I asked her what colors she wanted and she said black and white, I asked if she wanted any accent colors and she said no, just black and white. Okay, easy enough, I can do that. I knew I wanted to use a cute polkaContinueContinue reading “Tiffany\’s Pouch”

Very little progress.

Between apartment hunting and getting a new puppy I have had very little time to sew in the past week or two. But I did manage to finish the fronts of my Potholder\’s for the Potholder Pass. The inspiration board I got was traditional and she wants to put it under a teal teapot. IContinueContinue reading “Very little progress.”

Almost Done With My Name Game

So this weekend I have solely worked on my Name Game Mini. I was having trouble coming up with the initial idea, but once I made by ruler dresdens the rest came naturally. My partner has more of a traditional style and like applique, hence the dresdens. I wanted to make it bright but notContinueContinue reading “Almost Done With My Name Game”

I Tried Something New.

I know this is going to be hard to believe, but I have made quilts, bags, pouches, I embroider, knit, etc… BUT I had NEVER made a pillow until the other day. Shocking. Usually that\’s one of the first things someone does but I don\’t know, I\’ve just never gotten around to it. The motivationContinueContinue reading “I Tried Something New.”
