Get ready for the biggest revelation of my quilting career. Drum roll, please.... I have I have invented a new and thrilling way of building your stash, particularly when said stash is supposedly not being built due to non-fabric-appreciating members of your household having issues with cost. (Cost! The nerve!). The above delictable array of pink, turquoise and chocolate... Continue reading "I Wouldn't Say 'Excuse' Per Se..."

Lake House Dry Goods

I can't tell you the excruciating temptation I am feeling right now. As most of you know, I'm moving. Somehow this is taking a very long time, but it is happening. And just last week I finally gave up and packed up my sewing machine, figuring it's better to just get it over with than have it sitting here... Continue reading "Lake House Dry Goods..."

FreshCut and Chez Moi

Whenever I got to the fabric store, I am so inspired. I just love all the colors and textures and combinations of patterns. It makes decorating ideas pop up in my brain like popcorn. Take this pile, for example, isn't this pile luscious? You may recognize these as Heather Bailey's FreshCut. While shopping I also fell in love with... Continue reading "FreshCut and Chez Moi..."

Green, Red, Pink and Cream

Man, I love fabric. And over the last couple of weekends I've managed to acquire a bit more. If you look closely you'll fine a jewel box of treasures, including a couple of cuts from Heather Bailey's line FreshCut*, an adorable swiss dot**, an awesome retro Building Blocks by American Jane*** (more on that in a second) and my...

Vintage Dresden Plate Quilt Blocks

I went on a binge recently and started buying up unfinished vintage quilts. By unfinished I don't mean, like, almost done. I mean a pile of fabric that was intended to be a quilt in some fantasy universe that never happened. Sometimes they're pieced into blocks, and sometimes they're just cut up fabric in a bag (more on that... Continue reading "Vintage Dresden Plate Quilt Blocks..."

1930's Feedsack Reproduction Fabrics

I just had to show you my new 30's reproduction fabrics, and wow, what a difference daylight makes, huh? My work schedule changed recently, so I can take pictures during the daytime. Hopefully that will provide some better shots. But back to the fabric. Last Saturday I went to my very first quilting class (more on that soon), at...

Retro Modern Clearance Fabrics

Because I have so many incomplete projects right now, I've been making an effort to avoid buying fabric. It's not that I don't want more fabric. Truly. It's just that I am trying to be frugal and only buy fabric for specific projects and only when I am actually working on them. So, only fabric for the currently in...

Bright, Modern, Bold & Tropical

I tried, I really did. I tried to stick to the blue-and-white scheme for my rail fence quilt (aka Some Things Are Meant To Be). It was supposed to be a cottagey, old-timey quilt with faded blues and whites. Very traditional. I couldn't do it. It just needed some punch. Some zip. Something modern. Something fun. This quilt is... Continue reading "Bright, Modern, Bold & Tropical..."
