Hi All & Happy Friday! I’m so excited to be a part of the Gracious Threads Baby Shower today! I finally got my act together and wrote up the Beginner’s Quilt Pattern into a FREE downloadable PDF with a Quilting 101 section, photos to illustrate steps and instructions for sandwiching, turning & tying! There is…
There is something wonderful about sewing for another seamstress. There’s such a joyful delight at the thing made and great appreciation for being the recipient. As people who sew for others, putting our heart and soul into the making, it is rare we receive something handmade ourselves, so props to whoever came up with this…
If you have not participated in a swap, you are really missing out! Over the holidays I did a mini-quilt swap with my local MQG. It was SO much fun that when I started seeing swap signups all over my instagram feed, I instantly signed up for two without a thought! I was assigned #RainbowTeamOrange and…
Back in November I was a vendor at a small craft fair with some amazing local artisans. We spread the word about the event to each of our circles and I had a great time seeing some new and old friends in person after mostly interacting over Facebook & other social media. One of those friends who…

Friends, some things are learned and some things you’re just born with. Even though I do not watch a single game during baseball season, I was born a Dodger fan and that’s not something that’s easily abandoned. I love sports, I really do. I’m the kind of girl who will walk into a gathering where the…
In Central CA, it’s not uncommon for October and November to stride by without so much as a hint of fall – you know, cloudy days, rain, cold…? It’s been known to be 75 degrees and sunny on Thanksgiving! But my facebook feed was full of local friends gleefully welcoming the storm we had Friday…
Happy Monday! Did you sew something great this weekend?! I had a great day Saturday with my friend Karen making the Cargo Duffle Bag (Click here for the free pattern download!). I had pinned the pattern a few months ago and my friend Ginger suggested it be the project for my next class. As those…
