Patterns at Studio MCA Designs!

August 4, 2010

Pink Fig Patterns have arrived at Studio MCA Designs! I’m so excited to be carrying these designs. Makes me wish I still had a little girl to dress. Just to dress. On second thought, I’ll just stick with my grown girl and make her the Hippy Chick Skirt. You can find Pink Fig Patterns in [...]

I just finished my first quilt! I’m calling it On the Road because it is made with a collection of fabric called Wheels by My Mind’s Eye for Riley Blake. On the Road is a handmade raw-edge circle quilt. It is perfect for a nursery or a little boy who is moving into a toddler [...]

New Product: Purse Organizer

July 28, 2010

How many women out there have a bunch of unloved, brand new purses in their closets because they do not have time to swap out all the contents of the one they’re carrying? I have to be honest – I hate changing purses; therefore, I carry one basic purse during the spring and summer, and [...]

Quilt Along, part 6

July 26, 2010

It’s getting to be more challenging to photograph this project. And it looks like it must be harder to iron as well! I love the pieces that ended up with the little songbird in them. Ordered a perfect 1/4" foot and hoping it helps keep the rest of this thing from becoming too wonky. This [...]

Recycled Sewing Project

July 20, 2010

Recently, my mom asked me to help her recycle a personalized bath wrap. She originally ordered the bath wrap for my niece for Christmas. When Parker opened her gift and held it up, we realized that the wrong size had been sent. What do we do with it now? It’s too cute to use as [...]

I finally caught up with Week 6 of Crazy Mom Quilts’ quilt along. It’s actually part 5 for me in my posting of the process. As you can see, I’ve had to get a bit more creative in photographing the quilt top as it grows. You can see more photos from the quilt along in [...]

Quilt Along, part 4

July 8, 2010

This week I had to catch up on three weeks worth of quilt along instructions after being on vacation. I follow Crazy Mom Quilts’ instructions for week 3. I carefully lined up stacks of 3 strips into 4 rows to make the cutting faster. Then I made my first square by following instructions for week [...]

Quilt Along, part 3

June 16, 2010

According to Crazy Mom Quilts’ directions, I began to sew my printed fabric strips to my solid fabric strips, and pieced together my center square. I was a bit too particular about which fabrics were chosen for the center square. I like how it turned out, however it probably wouldn’t have mattered which fabrics I [...]

Quilt Along, part 2

June 10, 2010

Following along with Crazy Mom Quilts this week, I cut out all of my fabric strips for the quilt top. First, I copied and pasted the directions into a printable form to make things easier. Then, it only took maybe an hour or so to iron and cut everything. I don’t really know, I wasn’t [...]

Quilt Along

June 5, 2010

I’m participating in my first “quilt along” with Crazy Mom Quilts. Her quilts are some of the ones that inspired me to start quilting and sewing again. So, I’m not surprised that it is her quilt along that has captured my attention. In preparation this week, I’ve chosen 20 fabrics to use in my quilt. [...]
