Why I LOVE embroidery – Signature fabrics Embroidery Pillow – ( sewing finish )

Last week I completed my most favorite pillow ever.  I’m calling it my favorite because of the most perfect to me fabrics I used and the most time consuming embroidery work I’ve ever done.  I carried the embroidery part around for a month stabbing at it with my needle over and over and over again. Today I wanted to share why I so love embroidery and what it means to me.     Where I learned to embroider I learned how to embroidery in a Creativebug class.  This one here.  I was addicted from the very start, but even...

Hexie Flower Play – Kingfisher Stitch Along

 This post is part of the Kingfisher Stitch Along, hosted by Rachel from Stitched in Color and Jodi from Tales of Cloth. For more details click here.       It’s my turn on this series to post!  And my subject is other things to do with those sweet little, yummy hexie flowers!  YES! I’ve been scheming about this since early May, more like obsessing.  In fact these little lovelies have dropped me down a rabbit hole and I’m not sure I want to come out! I’ve got three ways of using hexagon flowers for you other than that...

How to Tie a Quilt with Yarn { and not throw things } – video tutorial

  Okay, this is serious!  Yarn tied quilts have been bad-mouthed.  I have heard it repeatedly.  I have even saw someone roll their eyes.  “Oh, she used yarn?” with eyes widening and disgust on their face. I cannot for the life of me figure out where the disdain comes from.  I don’t know if it’s a poor man’s version of quilting or just something else.  I can’t figure it out.  If you do know the answer, please take the time to share it with me, so I can be let in on the secret! But even if I’m in...

The Kingfisher Stitch-Along

I’m helping promote the Kingfisher Stitch Along hosted by Rachel of Stitched in Color and Jodi of Tales of Cloth, two AMAZING quilt makers. If you’ve been following me in my Instagram stories, this is the project I’ve been working on secretly that got me hooked on these hexie flowers and made me want to keep making them. I love how portable and slow this work is.  Every time I lounge about outside, I’m working on my EPP, on car rides I’m working on my EPP.  You get the picture.  It’s addicting!  Why haven’t I finished my Gypsy Skies...

5 methods of Hand Work that will Soothe Your Soul

I feel like before my mind realized I needed a slow down, my body already knew. Prior to the end of 2016, I had already dabbled here and there in ‘slowing down’.  I had just not given it a name or thought very much of it.  I learned to do some needle work because of a project in particular.  I learned to crochet because I had an aging grandmother and it was HER favorite pastime and I didn’t want her life to end without teaching it to me. But at the very end of 2016, I read something that...

Lately in January

Today’s post is just a random assortment of bits of things that I’ve been working on. I’ll start with this mini I made for a gift. It started with one a Bari J fabric, this one to be exact. The little bird above my mini was trimmed from the fabric, fused to my background and then I embroidered over it.  I spent one evening with the embroidery, and one evening on the hand quilting. Have you tried embroidery before?  Is it not the most relaxing thing ever?  I’m so in love with it. Several years ago I first started...
