My last post for 2015 is a quilt that I finished earlier this year in May. I completely forgot to blog about it! This is a quilt I made for my nephew's birthday in mid-June. I had it finished by the end of May and mailed it to my sister before we left for our… Continue reading The Iron Man Quilt | Genius in Fe

To-Do Tuesday 1-27-15 | Finish one quilt; Start another
The second Moxie quilt has been finished and mailed to my niece. Woo hoo! I hope she will love it. I started my nephew's quilt today, right after mailing my niece's quilt. His birthday is the middle of March, so I'm not wasting any time getting his started. He loves Spiderman, so I decided to… Continue reading To-Do Tuesday 1-27-15 | Finish one quilt; Start another
To-Do Tuesday 1-19-15 |Back in Business
My Precious is feeling much better after getting her new thread take up/check spring installed. I was very fortunate in that Mister put the tension knob assembly back together exactly as it was before. Which means that I had no tension adjustments to make! My settings are all the same as before, and what a… Continue reading To-Do Tuesday 1-19-15 |Back in Business
To-Do Tuesday | 2014 Wrap up | 2015 Sewing Plans
I didn't mean to stop doing To-Do Tuesdays, much less go almost an entire month without blogging, but the holiday craziness and the new job just got the best of me. My 2014 was fairly productive. Not as many quilts made as I had planned, but I did do a variety of projects. Quilts: The… Continue reading To-Do Tuesday | 2014 Wrap up | 2015 Sewing Plans

Obviously this will be my first year participating, and I am excited to enter the Moxie quilt I finished in August!… Continue reading Blogger’s Quilt Festival | Moxie
TGIFF: A Moxie Finish!
If you have read my last few posts, you might have noticed that I have mentioned Sarah, of Georgia Girl Quilts, quite a few times. We became fast friends after connecting over conversations about the Brother PQ1500S sewing machine. Which we both have and (I think I can safely speak for Sarah when I say), we… Continue reading TGIFF: A Moxie Finish!
My first self-designed quilt: The Riley Blake Challenge
Last year The Modern Quilt Guild announced The Riley Blake Fabric Challenge. It took me a couple of weeks to decide if I wanted to sign up. I had never done anything like this before, only having made quilts with other people's patterns, or with Block-of-the-Months. Finally, I decided that it was time to stretch… Continue reading My first self-designed quilt: The Riley Blake Challenge
Vintage Quilt Revival: Week 2 Blocks
Finally got my blocks done this week for the Vintage Quilt Revival. I got them finished just under the wire! Whew! I worked on a quilting plan for my challenge project this week and got the quilt top marked up for it. I decided to finish my VQR blocks today, rather than starting the quilting… Continue reading Vintage Quilt Revival: Week 2 Blocks
The Modern InstaBee 2014
Quite an amazing thing has happened on Instagram the last few days. IG users @brazenlisa @lisaquiltslikeaboss & @jessicaquilter decided to start a Modern Bee on Instagram and it exploded! Within a few days' time they have managed to organize 10 Hives with 12 quilters in each hive. By the time I found out about it… Continue reading The Modern InstaBee 2014
Skillbuilder BOM 2014
Last year I participated in the Skill Builder BOM by Alyssa Lichner of Pile O' Fabric. I learned so much, and had so much fun creating the quilt last year, that when I discovered Alyssa was doing another Skill Builder BOM for 2014 I signed up right away! Alyssa is a great teacher, and started… Continue reading Skillbuilder BOM 2014
