It’s time to get ready for the Blogger’s Quilt Festival!  Last Fall there were well over 600 entries and I am guessing this festival will outdo the last.  Amy has found all sorts of sponsors, so there will be various giveaways, but the best part is seeing [...]

On Sunday, my husband, Liam and I went the Petaluma Antique Faire.  It was in the historic downtown district on the main street and the day was beautiful (which is saying something, because it seems to rain here all the time).

I took all these photos with my iPhone, so if they [...]

My crazy nine patch quilt is finally done!  I followed this tutorial from Oh Fransson!  Not sure if I am lovin’ it anymore.  I tried to do something different with the quilting and I think this was the first time I ever took a quilt out of the dryer [...]

Um, have I been hiding under a rock since 1999?  I had zero clue that Shopgoodwill existed and I am amazed and giddy!

I even checked, and this site actually IS set up by Goodwill, so all proceeds go to their organization.  This is fantastic, because I feel like Ebay has become [...]

I got ahead of myself posting the Bee Blocks. Before I did them I had to unpack my sewing room.  As I mentioned before, we leased out our home in LA and we are living in a rental house in Petaluma.  The room that I am using for sewing came with wall to [...]

The coveted Katie Jump Rope blue and green dots!

I am not normally a hoarder, but needless to say, I bought ALL of it (slightly [...]

And the winner is…

Liz B.!

Congrats Liz! Thanks so much to everyone who entered.  I was blown away at the amount of entries and I am really excited to check out some new blogs.

The move went well and we are settling in.  I am hoping to get back to sewing in the next few days.  I [...]

It’s NOT white…it’s ivory.  I got impatient and I ended up using a Kona cotton that I already had for the solid (is it still referred to as sashing in this case?)  Baby steps…tiny baby steps.

This is my first time making half square triangles.  I didn’t realize how versatile they are and I [...]

I stopped by the Los Angeles Modern Quilt Guild’s Sunday Sew today to pick up Bee fabric and I was utterly inspired by all the amazing quilts the ladies were working on…

I want to start piecing tonight, but I need a solid.  Please give me the strength to NOT [...]
