I have been sewing quite a few flying geese blocks lately. I use the cutting chart that I shared previously in my No-Waste Flying Geese Tutorial and Top Tips post, but many of my geese still end up a bit scant, even with all the tips and tricks I've learned to use over the years. The thing with the no-waste...

I am doing a lot of sewing right now, but I can't share about it just yet. I'm test sewing my upcoming quilt along quilt. The pattern is 85 pages long (it feels more like I wrote a book than a quilt along pattern!!) and I'm really excited about all of the options it contains. Hopefully I'll be able...

Earlier this year, Patty from Elm Street Quilts asked if I would consider taking part in a group quilt. The theme of the project was given as Teamwork, and the design constraints were that we were to create a path for a ball to move across the quilt top in the style of a Rube Goldberg machine. I was...

When my husband and I were finalizing our plans to move, I knew it was going to throw a curve ball to Stash Fabrics in their delivery of my monthly Kona Club fabric. They were fabulous and understanding, and they were able to wait to ship my July and August fabric at the same time. I received the June...

DIY Drop Sewing Table Tutorial

I've been using my custom built cutting table / sewing machine drop table for a little over 2 weeks. Before jumping in and sharing how we made this table (using hardware store materials), I wanted to give it enough time to test it out to know that it's holding up, sturdy, and meeting my needs. I *love* how the table...

My husband and I generally try to be in the present moment and to make choices to keep us excited about the future. We have a bit of a motto that to be happy we need someone to love, something to do, and something to look forward to. That said, there are a few things about moving away from...

I'm sewing again! I know you probably want more details on the sewing table / cutting mat station that my husband and I built. I promise we took lots of photos and I'll be putting together a really comprehensive DIY tutorial for it in the coming weeks. But after being without my sewing machine for 2 months, I hope...

Azera is the communications, advertising, and shipping coordinator for The Quilt Keeper and her mother, Ellen Taurins, is the inventor and patent owner of The Quilt Keeper.

I hated having to play coy about my intentions when I was making the Digital Wave Table Runner and matching placemats and mug rugs, but I had *hoped* that they would work on our new dining room table. Some of my hesitation in sharing about the potential move was that so many of our previous real estate deals earlier...

New Sewing Studio Part 1 (& We’ve Moved!)

One of the biggest goals I had for moving to Hawaii was to give my husband the time and head space to think about what comes next for him. When I transitioned away from being an engineer in 2014 and started trying to find my footing as a professional quilter, he gave me the grace, time, and space to...

Sewing Machine Cleaning Tip

If nothing else, this post is a friendly reminder to take some time and care for one of your best friends: your sewing machine! The first thing I should note is that all sewing machines are made a little differently. For reference, I sew on a Juki TL-2200QVP Mini. After every bobbin, I like to use a small paintbrush to remove...

Have I done a lot of English Paper Piecing (EPP) before? Not a lot, but I've done a...
