I’m very excited to have finished this patchwork Progress Pride Flag quilt. The pattern is by Bobbie Gentili from Geeky Bobbin. All of the fabrics are scraps from my stash. This was a fun project and the finished quilt is really bright and colorful. As part of this process, I also enjoyed learning more about…
English Paper Pieced Challah Cover
I just finished this English Paper Pieced challah cover. I’ve been working on this project on and off (mostly off) for about a year. The block pattern came from The New Hexagon by Katja Marek. I love this book so much. With 52 ways to divide up a hexagon template, you could devise projects for…
3 Reversible Bucket Hats for My Kids
I’ve just finished three reversible bucket hats, one for each of my three kids. This was a project that I started early in the spring, inspired by my oldest daughter who wanted to make a bucket hat for herself. We bought the Betz White Reversible Bucket Hat PDF pattern and I helped her make one…
Heart Mini Quilt
I’m super excited to have finished this heart mini quilt in time for Valentine’s Day. I actually cut this quilt out last January and have been very slowly stitching it while on phone calls and long car rides. It was slow going until the last month or so when it all finally came together. This…
Sewing Projects in Progress
I’ve been doing some sewing lately! I will confess that I’ve been on a bit of a sewing hiatus for a while. When I became the full owner of Craft Industry Alliance in May of last year I needed to shift my focus to that business almost entirely. There was just so much to learn…
Settling In
These past few weeks have been a bit of a transition as I settle into shifting the bulk of my content creation over to Craft Industry Alliance. The podcast and newsletter have now officially been moved and it feels great. There were so many technical and design details that went into making all of that…
An Important Announcement About Some Big Changes
I have some big changes to share today about both my podcast and my newsletter. The changes are related and they’re rolling out on the same day which makes it nice to be able to do a single post explaining everything at once. I’m excited and a little nervous to tell you about them. If…
Doing Some Visible Mending on Jeans
I’m short. Actually, at 5′ 2″ I’m taller than my mom and my grandmother (my younger sister is taller than me by an inch), but in the grand scheme of things I’m still pretty short. This was rubbed in recently when my middle son, Simon, who is now 13-years-old and in 8th grade, grew taller…
Spring Sewing Plans and Upcoming Teaching Gigs
I bought some fabric to make two Wiksten Haoris. This will be my first time sewing this jacket and I plan to make the extra small short version for both. One will be Essex Linen in black lined with a horses print also by Robert Kaufman and the other will be that grid print, from…
2018 Year in Review
Me over the summer at MASS MoCA seeing the Sol LeWitt exhibit. There are just a few more days left in 2018 and it’s time to do some reflection on all that’s unfolded this year (fabric pun intended). In 2018 this blog turned 13 and my other business, Craft Industry Alliance, turned three. I continue…
