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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Welcome back for another week of show & tell!
This week, I share a finished quilt that will be a gift for a friend. It features OESD’s machine embroidery set Sashiko Reflections.
I also share two donated charity quilt tops that have now been finished and will be shared with Project Linus in Albuquerque!
Watch to the end for a special guest star!
