TGIFF: A Little Something Something

I’ve been busy working on my Sweet Treats Blog Hop project – and by the way, I started the Aurifil yesterday… Heavenly! Not a single tension problem and my machine was purring like a kitten. Or at least just quietly doing it’s thing. So I don’t have any big finishes, but I do have this zippy little thing I whipped… Read More

Tension Tension

Last night I finally sat down and made a start on quilting my Sweet Treats Blog Hop project and decided to be brave and try something new. Except I had more tension problems in those few hours than I normally do in weeks. Add that to the fact that the quilting pattern I was using required a lot of stopping… Read More

Winner Winner!

Thanks to everyone who entered, and those who didn’t but commented anyway – sweet words about my stash were very kind! To be honest, this is the “cream of the crop”.

Sayonara September and Welcome to Oktoberfest!

Hooley dooley, it’s October. That means it’s almost 1 month until my son turns 3, almost 2 months until our first guests arrive, and 2.5 months until Christmas. It also means that the third quarter FAL is done and it’s time for Fresh Sewing Day, and all that kind of end-of-the-month-recaps and new-month’s-plans business. For my Third Quarter FAL, I… Read More

TGIFF: Fruits and Flowers

Yesterday was our 4th wedding anniversary, and it was me who got it wrong – I had 3 years in my head! But no, it’s been four years since the best day of my life. Each year I use the traditional or modern anniversary gift list (depending on which is more applicable!) to guide what I give Ben. This year… Read More

We Pinned, You Winned!

Well, well, well, isn’t the online quilting community in a flutter! I promised if I won some fabric, I’d make something to giveaway as a thanks for helping me get there. Well, I got almost double the required repins, but I unfortunately wasn’t one of the first 10. Darn timezones, I tell ya! BUT! I will still make something for… Read More

WIP Wednesday: BOMs Away September Update!

I’ve been busy catching up on the In Color Order HST BOM (in between making my HST BOF blocks – yes, it gets a little confusing…) and the Fat Quarter Shop’s Designer BOM. August’s HST BOM, with which I cheated and pieced the hourglass blocks individually instead of in rows to get those points nice and neat: September’s HST BOM:… Read More

Hustler!

Last night I sat down and wrote out a list of things I need to get done soon. And then I realised that I should link up with Kelsey Sews to keep me accountable and win prizes. Write list. Win prizes (hopefully). Deal! In no particular order, other than the fact they need to be done before the end of… Read More
