Fall colors
My grapes are so beautiful right now. I loooove these red red leaves. They totally inspired my color choice on my new quilt block, Crossette: Of course, living in SoCal, our fall weather is still tank-top friendly, and I was able to play, barefoot, on my “design wall” (my front lawn).
An attempt at a clutch wallet
I’m not horribly embarrassed by this first attempt. I definitely learned some things along the way, and now the bean has a new play wallet! I also got a GIANT box o fabric to play with. Yay!
Penguins into Bunnies
I’m so excited!
I did some of the work for Robert Kaufman in trade for fabric, and today when I got home I had a HUGE box on my porch. All the cool colors are already in the washing machine so I can start making D pants tomorrow, but here’s the warm stuff. Twill, corduroy, velveteen, poplin, linen, […]
The Egg Cup princess
I whipped this little egg cozy up last week as a gift for D’s friend T. She’s British. Egg coz us are British-y, right? Pattern from Debbie Birkin I knitted all the parts the night before the party, and then sewed them up while c drove us to the party… Hence the dashboard background.

Appliqué and thimbling
I <3 Interlibrary Loan! After buying my Thimblelady thimble a few weeks ago, and loving it, I used ILL to order her quilting and applique books… I read through the Applique book today, and then practiced this butterfly…. Not bad for my first attempt, right? I started with practice butterfly #5 of 20 (sequenced in order of […]
Photo shoot!
Lauren (of Sewmodern) asked for some pics of me and my kiddos and pets and sewing stuff (ie a headshot and some “studio” shots). But my “studio” is all over my house. My cutting table is in the enclosed porch I share with the laundry and dogs. My ironing board is behind the sofa. My […]
