hi there! so with summer lone gone and a distant memory, we now look forward to fall. we’ve had a Fall-ish kind of weekend, and honestly, fall hasn’t been my favorite since i moved from california. while i grew up in california, i LOVED LOVED fall. why? well because it meant pumpkins, and pumpkin smelling […]
welcome welcome! i’m so excited to finally have the time to share this with you! it’s been sitting here since last may when i made this quilt for quilt market. but as you all know the kiddos are in school now and i did my “go and do everything i’ve not been able to do […]
today is the first day of school. but i also just got back from a vacation that our family drove 4, 438.8 miles to california (and to utah and Disneyland and so forth) and back. we are still toasted. i am totally celebrating with having my car detailed to get rid of all gooey/stickiness/sand and […]
this summer is passing me by quite quickly. anyone else having a super fast warp speed summer too? not that im complaining. we’ve had a great summer. we’ve relaxed, we’ve done some fun family stuff, and we’ve done a family vacation. which i’ll show pictures of that soon too. i’ve worked on my new fall […]
as i sew and what not i snap pictures here and there on my phone. it’s been nice to do a few “extra” prep for school houses. and bonus on finding super cute shoes at target in the little girl section. they are slightly too big for me but they totally work for $10 and […]
these past few weeks i’ve had a lot of sewing mileage. quilt market being right around the corner means lots of sewing to display what your product can do. i’ve been asked to show off my collection of threads with aurifil at a schoolhouse for aurifil, so i’ve been doing some fun projects that include […]
yesterday i continued to work on things for market. i am doing a school house with Aurifil threads and i will be showing off a few things i’ve made (including this little bag) with my line of threads with them. one person asked if i did the embroidery by hand. uh no. but thank you […]
i finally finished quilting and binding my reverse hopscotch quilt for my friend. and keep getting asked the same question: how did you make it. okay well here is how i made it: *first i got my hopscotch pattern *and where the stars are i just reversed it and placed the printed fabrics where the […]

sometimes my husband comes home at night and says “your blog is really quiet…how am i supposed to know what’s going on?” to which i give him a nasty look to his smirk. we talk every night. he knows what’s going on. but it does shed light that i do a lot of “stuff” that […]
pincushions can be a little bit like an extension of you and what your style that gets to hang out with you while you sew at home and travels with you when you sew at someone else’s house or at a quilt group. so why not make it adorable right? some of you don’t know […]
