Yesterday was our 4th wedding anniversary, and it was me who got it wrong – I had 3 years in my head! But no, it’s been four years since the best day of my life.

We Pinned, You Winned!
Well, well, well, isn’t the online quilting community in a flutter! I promised if I won some fabric, I’d make something to giveaway as a thanks for helping me get there. Well, I got almost double the required repins, but I unfortunately wasn’t one of the first 10. Darn timezones, I tell ya! BUT! I will still make something for… Read More
WIP Wednesday: BOMs Away September Update!
I’ve been busy catching up on the In Color Order HST BOM (in between making my HST BOF blocks – yes, it gets a little confusing…) and the Fat Quarter Shop’s Designer BOM.

WIP Wednesday: Slice and Dice
I’ve kept up the cut-when-watching-TV-with-husband so that when I have 10 minutes or more to sit down at my machine, I can piece as much as I can. And then cut and trim those later ready for the next sewing session. Here we can see a half yard of Bella Turqoise awaiting to be cut into 2.5″ strips, 18 assorted… Read More
