I’ve been quiet lately, not because I haven’t been sewing, but because I haven’t had much finished to talk about. Here’s a bit of an update. Tula Pink City Sampler? Yeah. About that. I’ve got about 25 blocks finished but I’ve found the quarter-inch foot on my machine to be just off so I’ve had…

It’s been a bit quiet here because I’m mostly fiddling with things these days so don’t have a proper finish to share. I have a WIP update post in the works but need to take a few photos for it, so hang tight. Here’s the eye candy keeping me happy these days. Mostly a variation…

I went to another quilt show on Saturday. I spent money. A lot of money. Money I don’t so much have right now because I’ve just quit my job (I QUIT MY JOB! THE ANGELS REJOICED!). Let’s not talk about that right now, mmmkay? On Sunday I spent the entire day quilting the Loulouthi Tiles…
