Swooning for my mother

30 Apr 2012 | Other RSS posts by
My mother asked me for a quilt that was reminiscent of an aged French Grandmother.
I love Three Sisters for Moda, they're not what you'd call modern, yet I love their soft colours all the same.

Sweet Sophia

It’s been such a long time since I’ve brought her out to play, I thought it was time I did!  I’m not sure why I’ve never bonded with this machine like I have the other vintage Singers, because she is surely the smoothest sounding machine on the planet, and she sews through cloth like a hot knife going through butter.

Simply amazing.

I wanted to try out some of the new presser feet I’ve purchased for my featherweight, since the 201-2 is also a low shank machine and they use all the same feet.  The Greist

Showcase 500 Rings: New Directions in Art JewelryShowcase 500 Rings: New Directions in Art Jewelry by Marthe Le Van

This is another book I received from Lark Crafts. Thanks, Lark! This particular book is another gem from the Lark 500 series. I love this series, because it is pure eye candy – no patterns, no basics, just fabulous photos of amazing pieces.

Product Review: Why Quilts Matter

30 Apr 2012 | Other RSS posts by

I’ve had a few very early mornings the last couple days. I woke up around 4 AM for no reason and couldn’t get back to sleep. Usually I go out to the living room and put in a movie that I’ve watched a hundred times, hoping I will be bored back to sleep. This time I noticed my copy of “Why Quilts Matter.” It is a nine-part documentary on quilts, and it has been sitting unwatched on my shelf for several months. I popped
