Catch-all.
As I’ve started thinking about my end of year review and next year’s plans, I realized that there a few projects that never made it to the blog. Some are finished objects and some WIPs and a few gifts that have now been gifted. Back in the dim and misty receses of the past, one…

Prim and proper.
Well, friends, we’re finally here! It’s week 7 of the Prim & Proper Sewalong hosted by The Fat Quarter Shop – and I’m ready to share my finished quilt with you! First, let’s take a look at the last six weeks of progress: This is the Prim & Proper Quilt by Lori Holt. I used…

A Year of Christmas
Well, we’re here. The holiday season is upon us and I am happy to report that I did one of the things I set out to do this year. I pulled out my stash of handmade holiday items. My stash! Way back in January, I had the idea to dedicate some time over the year…

Seeing stars.
As you may recall, I’ve been sewing along with some fantastic sewists and The Fat Quarter Shop on Lori Holt’s Prim & Proper Quilt. This week we’re up to week 6 with the Prim Stars block — maybe my favorite block patten in the whole book. I’m using the same fabric line, Prim, as the…

Little by little.
At work, it honestly feels as though the end of the year is just careening towards me and there is still so much to do. It’s been a host of busy days, so I am making a concerted effort to slow it way down in my personal space. In most years (feels like I’ve been…

Super Secret Summer Sew
As you may have heard, this summer has not been what any of us expected. When last we spoke, I was deep into a sock fog and I’ll admit my knitting mojo has not come out of that haze yet. One thing has happened as expected, Astra’s summer visit out of town. A few months…

The most fun I’ve had at a sewing machine.
About a year ago, I spied a sew-along on instagram that took my heart. It was from the ladies of my favorite fabric shop, Sunny Day Supply, and was for a quilt called The Norah Quilt. The quilt is simple: a single block log cabin. I’ve ooh-ed and ah-ed over all the Norahs out there…

Like a variety show.
I’ve honestly been a bit all over the place. Something about being at home all the time has me flitting from project ot project, craft to craft. I am managing to finish some and have only started a few, so I suppose I’m keeping some level of balance. After finishing up my Happy Christmas quilt…

One month later…
Well, I’d venture to say it’s been a fairly crazy March for us all. Four weeks ago today, I arrived in Denver for my organization’s annual meeting and it was canceled that evening. It’s been crazy with work ever since, and now I’m working from full time with the kids and Kevin all in the…
