The king has been bound, washed, dried (in the beautiful Texas sun!) and I began the thread cutting process last night. I also finished the backing for my cathedral quilt that was put on the back burner earlier this year. If I can get Mr. Texas Quilting to lend his expertise, then I’ll have it…

bobbin blunder
Here’s how my day is going so far! It’s going to take a while to get a new bobbin wound if it isn’t ending up on the spool.
dual duty
Does anyone else use their dining room as their sewing room? I’ve heard it’s a pretty common setup; personally, we don’t use our dining room as much as we could for its original purpose. I have a couple of rooms upstairs that I could turn into a full-time sewing room but this suits me better…
Worldwide Quilting Day!
I can’t speak for the rest of the nation, but the wind is blowin’ and goin’, I think I saw lightning and of course that must mean it’s trash day. I always feel guilty about setting the trash out on rainy days – why make that job any harder than it already is for the…

I saw this somewhere on Instagram and just loved it! My LQS didn’t have one so I asked where the original came from and ordered it for myself.

She requires attention to detail, but if you get it right, there’s a finished product that’s sure to be unique. She also has an ebook on trapunto quilting that involves organza that is fantastic….
Quilts, Inc.
Wow! Our kids have been at each other’s houses too many times to count; we live in the same subdivision and are within walking distance of each other. We’ve known each other for about 7-8 years. But I just found out that I know someone who works at Quilts, Inc. I got too excited, talked…
Sigma Phi Epsilon
I’m making a quilt for my brother; he doesn’t know about it or have a clue that I have this in the works. He’s terminally ill with cancer and I noticed that whenever he’s on the couch, he’s always covered in a blanket. I thought a nice comfy quilt with a flannel backing and minimal…
Reading blogs could be a never ending endeavor. Actually, just reading quilting blogs could do that on their own. One of my favorites is Off Kilter Quilt which has been around for a long time!
