Fabric napkins for the win.
Fabric napkins for the win. Are you a cloth-napkin user? I am and have been since college. In fact, I've been using the same cloth napkins since college, which means my cloth napkins are quite old. So ...
T-Shirt patterns for everyone else.
I recently posted some of my favorite t-shirt patterns for women, but here are some t-shirt patterns for everyone else. When I was looking for patterns to use with blake, I found there to be a TON of ...
My favorite t-shirt patterns.
With Blake coming out, I knew I had a good excuse to find the perfect t-shirt pattern. It turns out, there are many. To be completely honest, I was never much of a t-shirt wearer before I started ...
SockSacks in Friedlander and Euclid.
I love a good gift-worthy project, and these SockSacks in my Friedlander and Euclid fabrics are some recent gifts that I made after being given one myself. It all started when a friend made ...
Wildabon Quilt with Leah Duncan.
Want to know one of the most fun things I did in 2016? Easy. It'd have to be my new Wildabon quilt--a collaboration with Leah Duncan. Everything about it was such a delight. To start, I'm a massive ...
Fall sewing with Euclid.
I guess it's getting cooler other places...right? You can't really tell where I am, but in the spirit of seasons changing and warmer-wardrobes calling, here's a little bit of fall sewing with Euclid. ...

Euclid Open Wide Pouches
These Euclid Open Wide Pouches were a blast to make. In fact, I've made several more since making these...and have given them all away. It's a super good project and a great gift. I found out about ...
Euclid Landgate.
Earlier this year, Fancy Tiger Crafts did a Coat Sew-Along on their blog, which was all kinds of fun and very enticing to watch, especially because one of the featured participants, Sara, was making ...
Pickle Hawaiian.
I definitely have no problem starting new projects. The problem is always in finishing them. Anyone else with me on that? Luckily for anything work-related, there are deadlines, which means things do ...
Satellite 5 Quilt by Lynn Harris.
The Satellite 5 quilt by Lynn Harris is truly a stunner. Especially considering how few fabrics went into the making of it. I challenged Lynn to create a quilt using only the large-scale ...
Carkai Gatherer Crossbody Bag by Noodlehead.
This bag--the Gatherer Crossbody Bag (in carkai) by Noodlehead--is worth your while. Truly. Anna Graham continues to be the bag-designing master and (somehow) mind reader who knows exactly what I ...
Handmade Style: Makeup Travel Case.
I really needed one of these. My toiletries-schelpping-when-traveling situation hasn't been very pretty lately. Or very functional, to be honest. I was basically doing the ...
Tools of the Trade: Big Stitch Quilting.
While I'm talking about tools, here's what I use when I'm doing big stitch hand quilting. + Thread (such as Presencia Perle Cotton in all different sizes. 8- and 12-wt are my favorites.) + Safety ...
Archer Button Up in Mammoth Flannel.
Mmmm....flannel. Especially mammoth flannel...it's like wearing a cloud. I'd be happy to dress in this stuff from head to toe. Also, more Grainline love. The ...
Loving the Linden by Grainline Studio.
Oh, the Linden. It's good. And I've made many. It started with one, that quickly became two...and now I have six, plus a massive pile of knit fabric that I've been ...

Soak invited me to participate in their nail art challenge, which I eagerly accepted. I've gotten to know the founder, Jacqueline, and some of her fine team now that they are on the Quilt Market ...
