My new fabric arrived and I just want to stare at it touch it all day!  I am officially obsessed with fabric and fun, funky, retro prints.  I wish I had disposable cash resources, so that I could collect fabric to my heart’s content.

I bought a fat quarter set of Michael [...]

Oh gosh, I FINALLY finished the bird mobile for my friend (her baby is a month old…eeek!).  Between not being motivated due to the heat and balancing issues with the branches, it has taken me WAY too long. I really thought this one would go faster, since I had already made a mobile, but it [...]

I have been quilting up a storm this past week.  I finally finished my vintage bed linen quilt and I am in love! I joined Oh Fransson’s Mod-sampler Quilt Along and her instructions made it a breeze.

Each square is a vintage bed linen print paired with a modern print. The quilting is all free-motion.

Here are [...]

I finally finished the baby quilt! I am really pleased with how it turned out.  The free-motion quilting was not as difficult as I thought it would be (once I got the hang of it) and sewing the applique on was a breeze.  

The back of the quilt is pale blue Minky Dot and it [...]

Here is the aqua, blue and green baby quilt I am working on.

 I used a pattern that Oh Fransson sells at her etsy shop and I guiltily used a lot of the same fabrics that she used in her quilt. Why mess with perfection?!  I fell in love with the lime green and aquas and [...]

I said I would post photos of the back of my vintage linen scrappy quilt, so here they are!

I am really excited to see how it all looks quilted and bound.  The floral panel is a vintage Hanae Mori sheet that I found at American Way Thrift Store in Burbank (not nearly as clean as [...]

Do you remember that stash of vintage bed linens that I purchased off Etsy awhile ago?

Well, I found the perfect project for them!  Oh Fransson was teaching a quilt along on her blog and I was inspired to make a scrappy version of the quilt she was demonstrating. This was only my second [...]

My fabric arrived and I have been busy sewing my little fabric birds for my baby mobile!  I will post the finished product once I am done.  I have already been thinking about what I can make to coordinate with the bird mobile and I am considering making a baby quilt.  I have never quilted, [...]

I came across these unique camera and iphone cases by Hine Mizushima on Etsy and they are so cute, simple and obvious.  I mean, shouldn’t your camera case look like a camera and your phone case look like a phone? Duh.  I also love her vibrant color combinations and careful details such as buttons being [...]

Bird wall hanging from “Fuzzy Felted Friends” by Saori Yamazaki

I finally had time to play with my needle felting tools and try it out!  I wanted to start small, since I am new at needle felting and this project seemed perfect.  The pieces are small and simple and it [...]
