red letter day plus-sign quilt, originally uploaded by arajane.
Having not sewn in months I started wonder if and when I would feel motivated to create something new. I was happy to finish my bee blocks and I’ll be estatic to finally have Bob’s quilt done (sometime in the next couple days…) but I wondered when [...]

Tado Owl Tattoo!, originally uploaded by Owl Movement.
Now I love owls but I don’t love them enough to tattoo one on my own arm. But you have to admit it’s a pretty cute owl and owls seem to be everywhere these days. Here are some of my favorites.

Watercolors- New Hobby?, originally uploaded by Indie House.
I’ve started to sketch out potential quilt designs, garments, accessories etc as inspiration strikes. Not every design will move from pen and paper to fabric and thread and this helps me decide where to focus my efforts. A pencil sketch doesn’t however really do them justice so yesterday [...]

My Precious, originally uploaded by Shear Delight.
Can you believe I got 8 fat quarters of this hard to find Heather Ross fabric for only $21 including shipping?!! I saw Staci’s blog post early one morning about finding this fabric and intending to list it on Etsy. Within seconds I had emailed her and asked [...]

Technically I saw all three while visiting St. John’s Newfoundland, Canada this week for work. The pictures and experience leave a bit to be desired though. The Puffins were great but my pictures, not so much.
I kept trying to catch them in flight with modest success.
Luckily my friend Dave had a huge zoom lense on [...]

Talk about easy, this bag didn’t require interfacing or lining! If I had sat down in one sitting it probably would have taken an hour or so to make. It is not however quite the stroller friendly diaper bag that I intended to make. I think it’s a little [...]

canonjune09 001, originally uploaded by Shear Delight.
After the debacle that is the “simple” smocked sundress I decided to stick with truly simple projects this week to boost my confidence.
It doesn’t get much easier than these three item- a softie, hankerchief, and nursing pillow. Eventually I will tweek the softies and pillow but for now [...]

IMG_0050, originally uploaded by Shear Delight.
Theoretically my home office is also my sewing space, realistically I do all my crafting downstairs in the dinining room (listen I need that big table and it’s not like we ever eat there). Regardless I decided it was time to clean the office up and reorganize some things.
You [...]

Hot Pink Cross Quilt, originally uploaded by betty_whoosh.
I’ve decided that Flickr is a gateway drug (stay with me here). I first signed up in 2005 when I was deployed to Iraq so that I could upload photos and send the link to my family. It was infinitely faster and easier than trying to send large [...]

Eeeee! , originally uploaded by galadrielthompson.
Is wow! I found this photo while looking through one of the quilting photo pools on Flickr. The woman who took the picture bought it at an estate sale.
