Pink Fizz.
I usually wind up frogging knit WIPs if they sit around too long, especially garments. My style, size, gauge, and life slowly have slowly but surely morphed a bit over the years and any one or more of those factors tend to lead me down the way of the frog if something hangs around. This…

Year of WIPs recap.
Happy New Year’s Eve! This has become one of my favorite traditions, recapping the year in terms of my chosen theme or goal. I started the blog with a year of making and have come back to the “year of” idea the last couple of years. I’ve got a new idea brewing for 2023 but…

Bound and determined.
Buckle up y’all. I’ve been on a binding kick lately and I’m here to share what are probably my last finishes of the year. All of these projects were in my #yearofwips and bring my total up to 13 finishes. First of all, if you read my post yesterday you saw me finish my oldest…

Memory lane.
Picture this: It’s early 2008: I am a young mom going to community college, living life with this cutie pie: I decided to pick up a hobby and naturally looked to quilting. My mom had been a big sewist and quilter when I was a kid so I had a general grasp of the idea…

Stop and smell the… projects?
The blog and I have a complicated relationship. I love her, she’s a great listener when I feel like rambling and she’s the best at reminiscing. We just don’t hang out as much as we used to. Back when we first got together, we wrote together often and it felt great. Over the years I…

Not exactly according to plan.
This is my year of WIPs. One part of that has been to focus more on WIPs than on starting new projects and don’t get me wrong, I have done that. Mostly. I’ve completed 11/19 so far and then… You know I started a few things. A gift, a shawl, some socks… and I’ve finished…

I guess you can technically throw it.
One thing I’ve learned in quilting is that I like a pretty specific size when it comes to throw size. Some patterns come in quite small and some quite large. I’d go large if I had to, but for me, the perfect size is around my wingspan wide and around my height long. Just right…

I changed my mind.
My Dad always used to tell a story about me as a very small child, ordering ice cream. I switched my order while we were waiting in line and then was all surprised – “I changed my mind!” – as though it hadn’t occurred to me that I could do such a thing. Many years…

2 steps forward and 1 step back.
Greetings! January was a bit of a blur with some big work stuff, so I’m rather pleased to see February come around. I’ve been working hard at work and appliqué, I’m rather pleased to share. One thing that really held me back on my progress with this quilt has been prepping the blocks. It actually…

Green Gables Quilt
I don’t even want to delay the cascade of pictures of my new finished object. It’s too pretty to wait even a minute! You guys! I did it! I finished my Green Gables Quilt! I finished the last bit of binding last night and just couldn’t wait to get some photos. As always daylight savings…
