Warehouse Adventures...

It occurs to me that I should start numbering these forays... except that when the number gets high, folks might start to wonder if I do anything else? Let's start with these Metropolis Lunch Boxes for months and months for the real-things to arrive. They come in a set of two - the larger box...

Labels are for Quilts

Even though we know they’re important, lots of us don’t label our quilts. The reasons range from being too busy to already having moved on to the next project. Here's some labeling inspiration.

Listmania...

From planners and journals to making lists for WIPs-UFOs, things to clean-clear out, etc. Do you do any of that? (Google Images - Bullet Journals.) I have been working on to-do lists for work and personal - and...

While we may think of aprons as a relatively recent invention, something to keep spaghetti sauce and bacon grease from splashing on our best shirts, they've been around a long time. In fact, aprons appear in medieval paintings from the 1300s, and in the 1500s they were adorned with lace and...

Quilt Market Trends: Details, Details

As per usual, Quilt Market was a feast for the eyes. As someone who was a camper and counselor for ten summers, I loved Camp Moda. There were so many perfect touches I practically burst into a chorus Kumbaya. (Luckily for everyone there, I restrained myself.) Quilt Market has so many big and...

Quilt Market: A Different View

Greetings! I introduced myself last May , just as I was on my way to spring Quilt Market in Minneapolis. Now I'm prepping to head to Houston, (on a jet plane, just like Moda's crates, though I'm coming from Iowa). My visit to Market this time around will be a bit different, as I'm going to be the...

Taking Embroidery on the Road

I'm old enough to remember the last time that embroidery was "a thing," and I've still got the overalls and chambray shirts covered with chain-stitched butterflies and French knot flowers to prove it. So it's been a real pleasure for me to see the revival of interest in embroidery, along with all...

I've always wanted to make a crazy quilt, but was intimidated by all the lace, ribbons, embroidery and apparent haphazard piecing of the foundation blocks. But I was drawn to the antique quilt that inspired the...
