TTMT #788 – Well, It’s Not Chairs

This week, I share a minor misadventure in the finishing of my new-to-me dining chairs, a new Sherlock Holmes-themed paper pieced quilt block designed by me for my husband’s bookcase quilt (pattern coming later this month), some tiny sewing machines made by my son, and a tiny bit of progress on my eldest’s Doctor Who quilt repair. Big thanks to my Ko-Fi supporters, with a special shout out to crankyrat for TEN coffees!

TTMT #785 – Birds, Blocks, & Daleks

This was one of those weird weeks that felt a month long but also felt like I didn’t do anything while simultaneously doing All The Things. I worked on some machine embroidery, hit my favorite thrift store, Austin Creative Reuse, upcycled a tote bag, and brought home an old favorite project for some much-needed TLC. This little bit of chaos is the result. Stick around to the end for some bird feeder footage!

TTMT #784 – Reorganizing for a NEW Embroidery Machine!

Today I’m SO EXCITED to share my clean and reorganized sewing room featuring my newly upgraded embroidery machine!

I spent last week reorganizing my room for my new Brother PR1X single-needle free-arm embroidery machine purchased from Austin Sewing Machines. They made me a great bundle deal with everything I wanted for lower prices than I saw online. I can’t tell you how excited I am for this upgrade!

Not sponsored, I paid for everything myself, I’m just VERY EXCITED about my new machine!

Jeanie Shares Orphan Block Quilt Tops!

Friends, I just had to share Jeanie’s most recent TTMT video! She shares quilt tops made for a school fundraiser where she works made from orphan blocks I passed on to her. The blocks were given to me by Sarah in Houston and Krista with the intention that they be used in charity quilts.

I hope you watch to see how cleverly she put these tops together as well as a cameo by her absolutely adorable granddaughter.

Be sure to look for the TACO!
