A quick peek at what’s coming up next week –

Looking for some fun, fresh ways to incorporate HSTs into your next sewing project? Then you are going to love the Festival of Half Square Triangles!

Starting Monday, April 2, we’ve got two weeks jammed packed with all sorts of half square triangle tutorials and projects from some of your favorite modern sewing bloggers! After all of the creative inspiration, you are invited to link up a HST sewing project of your own — bags, mini quilts, home decor, you name it. Then our fabulous group of bloggers will choose 10 finalists, at which point it’s all up to YOU to choose a winner! That’s right, we’ve got some fabulous prizes up for grabs — stay tuned for more details!

I’ve been storing up some fun news that I need to share with all of you!

Even though I’m not involved in the nitty gritty details of the Sewing Summit, I’m excited to be included in the teaching staff!  I was planning to be there already (of course!), and being able to teach new, or aspiring quilters the in’s and out’s of the quilting basics is going to be a blast.  I love seeing understanding on a face when I explain some of the more challenging aspects of quilting!  Be on the lookout for registration details in the next month for the Sewing Summit and join me!

Girls in the Garden Blog Hop –  Pat Sloan has asked a few friends to share our take on her patterns recently released!  Join us next week for inspiration and giveaways as we explore all … Read More »

Hi there!  How are you today?  Do you have many blog friends that you’ve met in real life?  Where I live, it’s pretty remote – I know lots of you can relate!  And my idea of remote might be luxury for some of you – lol!  Considering that we moved from sunny southern California – this is remote, yet close enough to whatever is needed.

Anyway -

Amy lives at most, an hour away from me, yet until yesterday we had not met.  Only visited each other’s blogs and carry on email conversations, as possible (we both have 4 kids!).  A couple weeks ago with school getting closer on the horizon, we decided enough is enough, let’s get together!  Our schedules aligned, and we did it!

Honestly, I don’t think next week would have even worked.  Sophia will be in Kindergarten starting Tuesday, … Read More »

Hi there!  I’ve been working to resolve my button issues – it seems that wordpress likes to play with some of the html I give it.  I think I finally found an answer, my buttons are in the sidebar, and I would LOVE for you to add one to your sidebar!  Please let me know if you have any trouble with it.

I’m working on another quilt, I will share it when I can, but for now here’s a picture of my most recent finish, since every post needs a picture.

Hugs~

Amy

Check it out!  Do you like the new digs?

I have a post waiting, with a new pattern, but want to make sure the feeds are up and running!

Leave a comment and let me know how you got here – Thank you!

Amy

Do you get overwhelmed with the number of posts in your reader?  I sure do!  You all write a lot!  I learned from my friend Amy a great tip, and I thought I would share with you :)

From google reader you can add a little bookmark, when clicked it takes you to your next unread post in your reader!  I love this because, I often avoid my reader and the 1000+ posts that ALWAYS seem to be waiting for me there – it’s just too much to keep up with!  You need to have your bookmark bar visible, if you don’t check your bookmark settings.  I use google chrome, firefox is also a great browser.

 In your reader, go to settings, which is in the top right corner.

 Click on the little arrow, to drop the menu.

 Click “Reader Settings”

Hi there!  I’ve been so glad to hear from so many of you, making the move with me easily here :)  I love to know that this space is part of your morning/daily routines, and thanks for the profile pic love!  I had my hair cut and colored by a professional.  A nice treat and I had to document it!

Last week I went to a guild meeting to share my quilts – I had fun talking with fellow quilters, and meeting a blog friend!  Emily invited me to share a while back, thankfully it worked out after my deadline, unfortunately Joe was called for Jury Duty the very same day!  Not wanting to bail on Emily, I packed up the kids and made the drive – I’m so glad I did too!

Emily put together this sweet basket of goodies … Read More »
