Monday is all about Fabric #11 – Cotton and Steel

I did not get any new fabric in last week (its a miracle!). What did arrive is somebody else’s stash that I will talk more about tomorrow. I’ve never had so much Cotton and Steel prints at one time, so I thought I should use it for our featured fabric this week. Pretty luscious, huh?…

Lately – End of April, Early May

I am late with my ‘lately’ post.  Whoops! You can read the last Lately post here. I don’t like the weeks and months passing by in blurs, but sometimes it’s really hard to control. But I’ve been taking moments and purposely making them slow.  Doing with my hands, very S L O W movements.  Most…

Monday is all About Fabric #10 – Random Prints from Art Gallery Fabrics

I think you know by now that I’m pretty smitten with Art Gallery Fabrics.  This is my 10th Monday Fabric post and I’ve featured Art Gallery in at least 3 of those. So yeah…..smitten. I like the drape of their fabric, the thin, silkiness that it has.  Their catch phrase is “Feel the Difference” after…

Quilt Reveal – My Eowyn Quilt is Finished + thoughts on hand quilting

I’m pretty smitten about this quilt.  When I discussed it in my previous post, I was talking about trying hand quilting.   I decided to machine quilt first and then add the hand quilting.  This might have been a little backwards to the correct way of doing this, BUT it really was what and how…

I’ve been free motion quilting since 2018 and it h I’ve been free motion quilting since 2018 and it has been the slowest part of the quilting journey for me. It did not come naturally. I practiced through a lot of very ugly stitching before anything started to look the way I imagined it could.I keep seeing comments like “I could never do this,” and I just want to say… I used to think that too. I was you. It really does change if you keep going, even when it feels like it’s not working.Thank you for all the love on this piece this week.
