I showed this before it was quilted, but now it’s all finished and I am ready to show it off. This is for my toddler, and I wanted something that was simple enough that I would not be sad if she hated it and I would regret piecing a thousand tiny things, but I still […]
Comments part two–Support groups for The Single Girl (Quilt)
Many of you also said you wanted to work on Denyse Schmidt’s “Single Girl” quilt. This one has lots of smaller templates and involves lots of small seams and accurate piecing. I have the pattern but have yet to attempt it, since I have had so many of my own projects to work on lately. […]
He knows me so well
My little boy is in kindergarten this year, and they made a little book for Mother’s Day that had fill-on-the-blanks about us. Here is my absolute favorite: And this one: He’s the one in the birthday hat to the left–his birthday is coming up, so he’s plotting what cake he’d like this year. Two of […]
Favorite search term *ever*
I get to see some of the search terms that people use to find their way to my site, and yesterday I got one that literally was “how the hell do I finish this quilt”. I laughed, because I still feel this way sometimes. While I love improv and quilting without a plan, sometimes at […]

I really like quilting things for my family–I get to try things I might not otherwise get a chance to do all at once. In this case, I’m mixing up a bunch of different elements, and doing some ruler work on a large scale (the central diamond is more than 65″ across, and I have […]
And Also!
So what I also meant to say in that last post about what I learned in the comments, is that I often hear that, “Modern quilters just want something fast and quick. They don’t want to make difficult things or try something hard”. And looking at all your bucket lists, many of the things on […]
What I learned from the comments, part 1
I had 240 comments from the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway, and had a great time reading every one of them. People had some wonderful things on their bucket lists, and I was really interested to see the trends. This post is Part 1 of a series of things that I am pulling together to maybe […]

Sometimes a girl just likes things super tidy–technique of the week
I’ve been doing a great deal of reading on exact and precise piecing over the last year, and just came across this post over at Ivory Spring about piecing a 4×4 block with 1″ squares. Yeah, that’s a 16-square 4″ block. I’ve always set my seams before I iron them open, but reading about her […]
That horrible moment…
… when you realize that you really *dont* have enough in your stash. Not even enough to fudge. What’s yours?
