This week's Finished Friday is my second Hippo Hobo Bag. I made this for my sister-friend, Ana. I made her mom the 49er Hippo Hobo Bag about a month ago for her birthday. I know I've mentioned these two women before on my blog, but I just can't say enough how special they are to… Continue reading Finished Friday | Ana’s Hippo Hobo Bag

Oh, happy day! I had two finishes this past week and I am happy dancing all over the place! My first finish was the Grungy Windows quilt.

Happy Tuesday! There are only a few weeks left in this year. Can you believe it?! It seems like 2015 just arrived, much less is already over!

However, a couple of days ago I received my pre-ordered signed copy… Continue reading To-Do Tuesday 12-15-15 | New Bag Making Book

Happy Birthday, Mom! | The Epiphany Bag
Today is my mom's 30th x2 birthday. Happy Birthday, Mom!! Several months ago I decided that I wanted to make a special purse for her birthday present. My mom is a violinist in the Mariposa Symphony Orchestra, so I went on the hunt for musically themed fabric. I found Kanvas Concerto Tossed Instruments in Cream… Continue reading Happy Birthday, Mom! | The Epiphany Bag
To-Do Tuesday 8-24-15 | Slowly Coming Around
Hello and a happy new week to you! This past weekend I made myself get into my sewing room and clean and oil my machines. They've been in a warm room, in a dry climate, for the majority of the summer, so I knew they'd need some oiling before using them. That got me in… Continue reading To-Do Tuesday 8-24-15 | Slowly Coming Around
Pattern Testing | Tudor Bag
Recently I had the great experience of being a pattern tester for Sara of Sew Sweetness with her new Tudor Bag pattern. This was my first time testing a pattern, so I was a bit nervous of the process. And by nervous I mean I HAD TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. THOROUGHLY. No skimming over them. No referring… Continue reading Pattern Testing | Tudor Bag
To Do Tuesday | 9-30-14
This past week ended up being busier than I expected. Mister had a need for a webpage here on the website, so the day I had planned for sewing up the June Sugar Block Club block I ended up on the computer updating the website. Since I'm four months behind on the SBC blocks, one… Continue reading To Do Tuesday | 9-30-14
Bye Bye Love Bag
I didn't get much done this week, but I did manage to sew up January's Bag of the Month bag from Sew Sweetness' Bag of the Month Club. I purchased some Denyse Schmidt Florence fabrics specifically for this bag. For some reason, I absolutely love plaid bags, and I knew this bag would be perfect for showing off… Continue reading Bye Bye Love Bag
