Every Friday night our family tries to do "movie night." Although it is getting harder the older everyone gets, we still try to make it a tradition to have pizza, treats and a favorite family movie....and sometimes a huge sleepover in the basement.

Get to Know Your Button Foot
Today we are getting to know our Button Hole Foot. It's long, it's skinny, it's usually plastic, and for a lot of people it's intimidating. So today we wanted to give you a quick introduction to it's parts and their purposes to take the mystery out of the foot that looks like a ski.

Grandfather’s Lap Quilt Free Quilt Pattern and Tutorial
Today we are excited to share with you a fun lap quilt pattern and tutorial. The idea for this quilt began when we were invited to contribute to a blog tour that was celebrating the release of the new line of wool from Penny Rose Fabrics. Not only were we able to give their new wool a whirl but we were able to choose a line of fabric to play with as well....and once I saw their Menswear line I knew that is exactly what I wanted to pair with that wool.
