I just did a little periscope on this, but I thought I’d put it out there in writing, too. Entering shows is a deeply personal thing, and while many of us share similar reasons for doing so (having your peers see your work, looking for validation, wanting to win a robbin, showing your support for […]
Holiday Recipe Swap
Every year, we have some go-to recipes that, when they happen, really mean holiday prep is getting real. Some of these are for snacking, some are for beverages, and some are more hefty, for meals. The more unusual and tasty, the better! I thought I’d share some of these with you, because I love […]
Sewing Clutch Tutorial for Clutch Sewing
If you’re like me, you may be one of those people that wind up having a couple of last minute gifts you’re trying to finish (or find!): a gift for someone on a quilt Guild committee, a bridesmaid shower gift, birthdays… I think we’ve all found ourselves in that boat. This project, though, is one that I […]
And now, introducing my new logo and site!
I talk about my choices for my quilting related logo and website design,describing what my logo means to me and the people who helped me get there.

Busy quilting day calls for stupid easy recipes
While nothing can be easier than tossing something in the crockpot from the freezer, I’m not always that great about making stuff in the crockpot to begin with. Today’s one of those days where I think, “gee, I wish I had something in the freezer,” but alas, that is not meant to be. Instead, I […]
I miss the mix tape, so I made some
This post is part of the 31 Day Blog Writing Challenge I’ve been meaning to make playlists for myself for a while, and finally got around to making some on my youtube playslists. These are just the start, and I plan on adding to them, but I thought I’d share. I can’t believe I don’t […]
Books for the Quilting Geek: History edition
With the holidays coming up, I thought I’d share some of the books I have in the current rotation that I find to be beautiful, inspirational, and educational. They make good gifts, that’s true, but they’re also a good excuse to set some quiet time aside for yourself. I confess I have a slight addiction […]
