Just popping in to say that I’m majorly destashing! All single pairs of button earrings in my shop are  65%-75% off! We’re getting ready for a move, and thus, the big destash. Listing fabric later today, if I can get my act together. 🙂 If you’ll be at Sewing Summit, you can use the coupon…

I recently signed on as a Pellon Project Artist, and I look forward to sharing free tutorials with you to show how I like to use Pellon in my sewing projects. Today, I’m just popping in to let you know about an awesome giveaway sponsored by Pellon, my favorite provider of interfacing, quilt batting (yes, that’s right……

Once upon a time, I bought this Summersville fabric and cut out the pattern for a dress from Kay Whitt’s book Sew Serendipity: Fresh + Pretty Designs to Make and Wear. I then folded the already-cut fabric inside the book, and let it sit for months. That ever happen to anyone else? Well, thanks to…

In the midst of planning Craft Book Month, some job changes and lots of sewing, it barely occurred to me that it’s almost time for . . .  Sewing Summit! Looking forward to meeting up again with some blogging friends (and my fab roommates), visiting a new-to-me city and maybe even sneaking in some late-night sewing. What…

If you are newer to my blog, I also have another blog home at Craft Buds where I share handmade business advice, more tutorials and other fun craftiness. Well, all month long in September, I’m hosting an event over there to celebrate sewing, quilting and all kinds of craft books! Why? Because I love finding new inspiration and…

I’ve been doing some secret sewing for a very special occasion! No, it’s not the prom. It’s not my anniversary. These little zipper wristlets were made especially for . . . The lovely Stitch Magazine! A copy of the Winter 2012/13 issue arrived, and I was so in awe to see my “Mod Wristlet” inside….

Just wanted to share the Action Kivu fundraiser, going on this week at Handmade by Alissa. The goal is to raise $20,000 for this women’s charity, and every little bit helps. 🙂 It’s a great cause, and you can enter to win these prizes if you donate! Just choose your favorite prize, donate the corresponding amount…

On the first Friday of each month, Indy art galleries stay open late for “First Fridays.” Last night, the Indy Modern Quilt Guild hosted an event to showcase some of our quilts for the public. We set up outside of the fantastic Crimson Tate fabric shop. Here are some pics! You might remember this recent finish. Since we brought some friends with…

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve posted a quilting finish! I’ve been sitting on this Granny Squares quilt top since March, and with the Indy Modern Quilt Guild’s outdoor quilt show coming up the first Friday in August, this was the motivation I needed to finish it up. I quilted this with my new/used machine (a…

Since I started sewing, it’s a lot easier for me to be inspired by fashion. I can appreciate the design details of clothing as well as the care that went into constructing it. Sunday, Matt and I checked out a fashion exhibit at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, and I couldn’t help but snap, oh, a couple…
