Hand Pieced Quilt Along Almost Done!

I have been working on my Hand Pieced Quilt Along quilt for about a year now. I have loved working on this project and have done it completely by hand, even the cutting. I wanted to see what it was like to quilt back in the day and about how long it would take. IContinue reading “Hand Pieced Quilt Along Almost Done!”

Tattoo Piece Finally Finished

So I moved to Minnesota and they have a big state fair every year. Not as big as Texas\’, just saying, but it is a big ordeal. There is a competition each year called, \”Quilt on a Stick\”, which is modeled after the theme that everything at the fair is on a stick, sort ofContinue reading “Tattoo Piece Finally Finished”

New Man in the House

For about the last six months I was thinking about getting a cat. I grew up with 5 cats and 2 dogs in the house and I know that there are awesome cats are not so awesome cats. I wanted to make sure that if I were going to make this commitment that I wouldContinue reading “New Man in the House”

Hand Quilting High

She got married almost a year ago and I have been in the process of hand quilting her quilt for about 18 months now. She has repeatedly given me aContinue reading “Hand Quilting High”

100 Day Hustle

So I have not sat down and written up my to do list other than for swaps and bees in a really long time. By really long time I mean that I don\’t think I ever have had the balls to do it. So to join the gang over at Kelsey Sews, I decided toContinue reading “100 Day Hustle”

I\’m Taking My Time

This past week I got a good amount of hand quilting done. I\’m currently hand quilting 2 quilts, one for my Best Friend for her wedding in March (I\’ve already told her to expect it as a belated present due to the huge amounts of hand quilting I\’m doing on that baby). I\’m doing anotherContinue reading “I\’m Taking My Time”

My First Class!

So I technically taught my first class this weekend. Yes it was to my roommate and my best friend but I had two participants and I had them both create a simple table runner complete with quilting (one did hand quilting, the other machine after seeing how long it took the other one) and thenContinue reading “My First Class!”

W.I.P. Wednesday

So This week I have only finished 1 project. My \”No Regrets\” wall hanging, which I am in love with. Took it to guild meeting and it was a hit. I\’m thinking about making a pattern and selling it on Etsy but I don\’t know how to make a pdf pattern. Might have to callContinue reading “W.I.P. Wednesday”
