In my time away from blogging I have thought…and thought…and thought…about a lot of things. Some thoughts are introspective and personal, some artistic and design related…all are pertaining to life. One thought path I have revisited over and again is where are we today? in respect to fiber creations––specifically quilts. The Quilters of today have [...]
I have been hanging onto a stack of these Dresden blocks. I bought them at a vintage goods store. All are made from 1930′s/1940′s fabrics. Originals, not reproductions. Someone lovingly cut and pieced them together…unplugged. I think they were assembled incorrectly because I can’t seem to turn the edges evenly to applique {I think I [...]
Now that the Urban Home Goods Swap {UHGS} is done and my partner, Jamie, received what I made I thought it was time to show and tell. I started with the above sewn together strips. Then chopped them up. Added a little embellishment And Voila! A sewing machine cover!

Okay… queue the song… It was going through my head all day yesterday … and dang, it still is!… While I was sewing. Not sure yet what I’m making. I’m not a great plan ahead type. I tend to fly by the seat of my pants. Here’s a glimpse… of my sewing… not the seat [...]
Happy Monday on You! The weather here is soooo nice! It actually was in the 50ºs this morning. I have a whirlwind of sewing planned. It HAS to get done. When I am in that mode I MUST have a music playlist {at bottom of post. Click on it to make it big and then [...]
