Hello, friends! I have a lot of little things done this week, some upgrades, some playing around with clothing, and some machine embroidery! I also share about a surprise trip coming up later this week.

A Gift of Time (TTMT #848 Sewing Show and Tell)

As promised, this week I share Jewells’ finished 2018 TTMT Log Cabin Swap Quilt! It was such a joy to get to finish this project for my BFF and I’m delighted to get to share. I also talk about a To Go bag/toolkit I made for sewing supplies.

A Tale of Two Shirts (TTMT #847 Sewing Show and Tell)

I spent a lot of time sewing last week, and it’s really helping with All The Things.

Completely by coincidence, or accident maybe, both of my finished projects this week are white shirts, just very different white shirts! Next week, I promise to have some quilty show & tell!

Well, Shirt (TTMT #846 Quilting & Sewing Show and Tell)

Life continues to life and we are doing our best to hang in there. Thank you to everyone who left kind words on last week’s video. I genuinely appreciate your thoughtfulness.

This week, I’m poorly lit and my audio is a bit weird as I acclimate to my new filming location. Even so, I’m here to chat about making another men’s shirt, finishing a small wall quilt, and playing with my new Janome MC 6650.

Upside Down & Inside Out (TTMT #845 Life Changes & Sewing Room Reconfiguration)

This was a hard one for me. Trigger warning for discussion of cancer and death. Feel free to skip this one if you need to.

I spent the last couple of weeks tearing my sewing room apart and reconfiguring it. I explain why in the video.

It’s a long one.

T-Shirt Quilt Rescue FINISH! (TTMT #844 Quilting Show and Tell)

Hello, friends!

I wasn’t up for recording a video this week, but I finished the t-shirt quilt rescue last week, and I REALLY wanted to share. I hope you don’t mind this short and sweet format.

Look for a Gilmore Girls Quilt Along coming August 20, 2025, also on Fandom in Stitches!
