Lined Drawstring Bags and Organizer Wallets

One of the delightful parts of my traveling this summer has been the ability to sew what I want, when I want (no deadlines!), and where I want (north of the arctic circle? No problem!). Before starting our planned 2-week drive up and down the Dalton Highway in Alaska, I found a few tutorials that were new to me...

Easy Fat Quarter Bag

As you may have wondered when I shared about the Typecast J bag that I made for my older niece earlier this week... I also made a second bag to gift to my younger (2-year-old) niece at the same time. Giving a gift to one would have definitely created some sibling jealousy, so I knew better than to arrive...

Valentine’s Card {Sew Tiny Sampler}

My friend Kitty Wilkin from Night Quilter just wrapped up and showed an incredible 100 day project at QuiltCon. She created a magnificent tiny piecing sampler in her glorious rainbow style (here is the pieced top) using blocks that finish at 1 1/4-inches. Today, Kitty is releasing her Sew Tiny Sampler pattern which includes designs inspired by her 100 day...

My husband and I are making great progress on Wabi-Sabi Overland. As the majority of the structure has been built and installed inside the habitat / apartment, it's time for us to start thinking about all the small details that will make the space work for us. It's not that we haven't been thinking about those details, but I...

Quick Gift: Hexie Coasters

The holidays offer us all kinds of opportunities. Like the last minute sew of a gift to give a hostess, right? Thankfully I was advised of favorite colors and the 5-minute hexie coaster tutorial by Sharla from Thistle Thicket Studio helped me whip up these coasters that I will gift later today. It didn't hurt that her favorite color is light...

Rin Along – Materials

I kind of realize as I am writing this post that I might be jumping ahead of the RinAlong schedule a bit? The official kick off of the quilt along is next Wednesday, so yeah, I'm sure Cindy of Hyacinth Quilt Designs and Cheryl of Meadow Mist Designs have details I will be glad to consider... I have put...

I am getting much faster at cutting fabric into hexagons to make the 5 Minute Hexi Coasters. This past weekend I made 2 more sets of 6 to gift. When I met Jasmine @Quilt Kisses at Quilt Bliss, she gifted me a lovely drawstring bag with an emergency sewing kit inside. As she loves black, white, and red, I...

Yesterday in my blog reading, I came across a fantastic tutorial by Sharla @Thistle Thicket Studio: the 5 Minute Hexie Coaster Tutorial. I seriously could not wait to give them a try, and I love how they came together. It did take me a bit of time to prep the fabric to make the coasters. I did not have any...

Casserole Dish Carrier

My husband and I love to go for walks in the evenings, and we occasionally have dinner dates with couples who live near enough to us that we consider walking to and from dinner. I have yet to feel comfortable putting rising yeast dough in a backpack for a 2 mile walk to a friends house (often I agree to...

Monday was a bit off for me. I decided after a rough morning that I wanted to work on a quick selfish sewing project. I'm a quilter and not seamstress by a large margin, but I decided to tackle a soft flannel eye mask. I had an eye mask with a comfortable (and adjustable) elastic band, but it has...

On August 26th, I was contacted by a person who had been scouring the internet looking for archival bags for queen size quilts. She had previously been able to find and purchase them without a problem, but the largest size she could find from her usual resources only fit up to a twin size quilt. Because she saw that I...

I have accomplished a few things recently that I haven't blogged about, so I thought I would just put some odds and ends together today along with my current WiP. While this is the last thing I finished recently (umm, this morning), it is the project I am the most giddy about. My niece is going to turn 1 year old...

My family takes hot tea very seriously. It is a very communal process for us. Sharing a pot of tea is cozy, calming, and it is very nice quality time spent together. My husband's sister is visiting for a few days, and we have already had many cups of tea together. So, when she requested that I make a tea cozy...

After publishing my simple drawstring bag tutorial, I took some time to make several more. It is always gratifying to know that with a bit of repetition and practice, things go faster and smoother. I was able to make these 4 gift bags in just under 2 hours. Not too shabby! Don't forget that you have until Sunday evening...

This is a tutorial for how I make a really simple drawstring bag to use to gift small quilts. Years ago, I used an online tutorial to make my first simple drawstring bag, but that blog is no longer available. I started playing around with what I remembered of the pattern and developed this simple pattern. As an added...

I would like to wish my mother-in-law a very happy birthday! A few months ago she asked if I could make her a set of pillow cases to match the "Fall is Coming" quilt I had made and gifted to my in-laws a few years ago. I just love how the quilt looks on their bed: I had wanted to...

I just completed the first project from Sew Down Portland - Lee Heinrich‘s “Shooting Star”. She brought in a demo in the same colorway, and I adored the quilting on it. So, I quilted mine pretty much the same way. I am really pleased with how it turned out, and I've hung it in my sewing room for inspiration!
