I made major progress this weekend on the rainbow quilt. (Seriously. 10 inch square quilts for the win! I’ve never cut or sewn a top so fast!) I quilted it all together with tons of lines and just need to get the binding into place then wash it and break it in for a picnic…

It's hot in San Diego right now. (I get it. Nobody cares about the weather.) But our house is a tough one to cool down and so the days are verrrrrry long and verrrrry hot. Which would be handle-able except the nights are somehow longer and hotter (I'm battling 3rd trimester insomnia). It's all making…

I got the quilt finished up late Thursday night. My hold-up is always getting the top together. The rest, sandwiching, quilting and binding tends to go so quick for me. Just like with Ellerie's quilt, I waited to wash the fabrics until AFTER I had sewn it all together. This is totally personal preference and…

My favorite craft to-do list item in the history of making stuff is pulling patterned fabrics together for quilts. Seriously. DREAM JOB. When I retire (which is never) I am going to just sit on some sort of throne and pull fabrics together. That's it. (And hold my grandbabies.) I enjoy this part so much…

I'm thrilled to share photos and details about the September edition of MAKE29 today. On 9/22 at 11AM PST I'll be selling 29 handmade foldover clutches, every bit of which were sewn by me. This edition was originally scheduled for MARCH. And then there was a fabric shipping hold-up. And then the ampersands sold out…

This week I finished up the September edition of MAKE29. I have much more to share next week (and the edition will go on sale 9/22) but (as you've guessed if you've seen my Instagram feed) it's a sewing project. You would think wrapping up a giant sewing project would make me want to pack…
