Yellow Pillow, Purple Snake (TTMT #903 Sewing & Craft Vlog)

Hello, friends!

This week finds me doing some organizing, finishing a project for a friend, and thinking about Halloween! I remembered in editing that I was planning to show you the finished KitchenAid mixer cover and managed to squeeze in a clip!

Hello, friends! Last week was one of those All Over The Place weeks!I worked on a project that I will now need to do over because not only did I not measure twice, cut once, I didn’t even measure once!

Happy Tuesday, friends!

This week finds me with a new batch of baby stuff, this time burp clothes, wash cloths, and bibs! I do have some other fun things planned once I’ve worked my way through the more utility based baby stuff!

I’m on my way out of town tomorrow, but will be back home with a new TTMT next week.

The panel pieces used in the bib are from Multi Masquerade by Dear Stella.

I also used a variety of fabrics from my stash, off-cuts of cotton batting, and circle sew on hook and loop dots for the bibs.

HST Sample Top QUILTED! (TTMT #882 Quilting Vlog)

5 Replies

Hello, friends! My HST top is now quilted! I left it on my Gracie King frame (currently set up for Queen size) to show you my quilting setup. I also chat about fabric at my local Michael’s and tease an upcoming project.

I used Pellon 100% cotton batting in my quilt purchased at Michael’s.

The video looks long, but I only talk until 7:34:21. The rest of the video shows one pass of quilting with the Q’Nique. My machine is not computerized and I love Free Motion Quilting (FMQ) so that’s what you get to see! It’s been a while since I quilted and I forgot to use my lint roller first which I am sure you’ll notice by my left hand regularly guest starring to pick lint off the top.

HST Sampler Top DONE! (TTMT #881 Quilting Vlog)

Hello, friends! I got on a roll with my final quilt blocks and ended up piecing the top over the weekend. I LOVE the way the sampler blocks work together and am hoping to have the back pieced some time this week.

Jiffy Wrap Blouse & HSTs! (TTMT #880 Quilting & Sewing Vlog)

This week I chat about finishing 4 more HSTs for my scrap quilt (almost there!), and upcycling a sheet and thrifted fabric (maybe a sari?) to make my version of the Jiffy Wrap Blouse.

This week finds me in recovery mode after a very rough week. I’m still not 100% but I am getting there. Unrelated to that, my arm is fine, the red mark is from the allergic reaction I mentioned in my last video. I have had a LONG last few weeks.
