Blocks!
I finished sewing half the blocks for my new project, and I hope to finish the other half tonight. I’ve been collecting and scheming with this fabric for a while. It’s so exciting!
PITA
I am so glad I was able to finish this block today. My head must have been in the wrong place for working on it, because I ended up doing a fair amount of “un-sewing” while completing it. I think … Continue reading

Pretty, pretty points!
One of the women at the last club meeting said that it takes as long to choose the fabric as it does to make the block. To her I say, “REALLY?”

Farmer’s Wife Quilt
Above is a block from “The Farmer’s Wife” quilt, from the book of the same name. The book contains designs for 111 six-inch blocks, which finish off into a full/queen-size quilt. This definitely falls into the “millions of tiny pieces” … Continue reading
Crazy 4 U
Yes, the date is accurate, from what I can tell. You are looking at one of the thirty-six 12×12″ squares that make up the crazy quilt that I just bought today. It isn’t even the best square. It’s made mostly … Continue reading
Blue Convertible Dress Converted to Green
Let’s begin the post with a little disclaimer. The dress looks great on the dress form, but I think it’s important to see clothing on a real, live, squishy, active human. I’m not the most photogenic person, especially when I’m … Continue reading

Bernina Cozy, Part 2
Sometimes, you just have to let paint dry overnight. That’s what I had to do today, so to make myself feel like a super accomplished person, I decided to just make the stupid sewing machine cover. Yes, I know that … Continue reading

Almost Persuaded
I made this tonight after doing a little more organizing and working on an unfinished project with which I am not sure what to do. The background fabric is unbleached muslin that I “dyed” using watered down acrylic … Continue reading

Magic Socks
These are magic socks. The toes are grafted so there are no nasty, pain-making seams across the toes. They seem to fit no matter what as long as you think lovingly of the person you’re making them for. I first … Continue reading

Work in Progress: Hanging Out
This is the stretch silk charmeuse fabric I dyed last night hanging out in a fare facsimile of the finished convertible dress. Fabric that is cut on the bias–as the skirt of this dress is–must hang for a while to … Continue reading
