I have been all about hexagons and EPP (English Paper Piecing) lately because I can sew for a few minutes and still feel like I accomplished something. I even have a bag packed for the car pool lane that I can pull out and stitch a few hexies together or even glue a few fabric hexies and feel like I am still getting some sewing in. This pumkin hexagon project came out of me staring at hexies and thne finding a large sized hexagon cutter from Accuquilt. I thought it would be perfect on a linen ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking: It’s always been hard…
Recently I was sitting on a plane and heard a conversation behind me that I have been thinking about for awhile. I wasn't necessarily eaves-dropping but the plane was quiet and I happen to hear a few sentences from the row behind me that I won't soon forget. In the middle seat, a seasoned gentleman (from the sound of his voice) was talking to a young college student who was sitting directly behind me in the window seat. I heard him ask him about college and his classes and of course, his ... View the Post

Quilts are for loving…
The very first quilt I made was like a prized possession. I wouldn't let anyone touch it, and it sat on the back of a chair in the living room (that no one really went it) for a couple of months. I was so proud of that awkward quilt and I was going to save that thing for time and eternity, new and pristine.

Simple Women’s Maxi Skirt PDF Pattern—FREE!!!
We've kind of been keeping a bit of a secret.....and today is the day to announce it. Over the summer we had the opportunity to film a video with Jenny Doan from Missouri Star Quilt Company (we kind of did a sneak peek on Instagram so maybe some of you figured it out). And the video is going live today!
