Happy Friday Eve Reader! You don’t need more time to quilt. I thought I did. For the longest time, I told myself: “If I just had more time, I’d finish more quilts.” But the truth? It wasn’t time. It was focus. I loved starting projects. But when it came time to actually finish them, I’d bounce to something new. That’s how I ended up with a pile of WIPs. So, I changed one thing: I started focusing on just one “Momentum Quilt” each month. Not to finish it. Just to make progress. And that’s...

Happy Friday Eve Reader! This week’s video is all about how I’m organizing my WIPs so they actually keep moving. Last week I asked how old your oldest WIPs were… and apparently, I’m in very good company. Kim has a 41-year-old hand-pieced sampler that only needs binding.Dorothy has a 15-year-old table topper—even though she doesn’t have the table anymore (honestly, I could see that happening to me).Martha started a quilt in 1998 that still needs quilting.Evelin also has a 15-year-old quilt...

Happy Friday Eve Reader! This week's video I'm talking about my March quilting goals. I'm trying to find the balance between new shiny projects and finishing up WIPs. The WIP I'm focusing on this month? An 8-year-old EPP project. I started it years ago thinking it would be a quick, relaxing project… and somehow eight years later I'm still working on it. How old is your longest WIP? Do you plan on finishing it someday? Really, hit reply and tell me! I'd love to highlight how old some of our...

Happy Friday Reader! It has been a while since I sent a newsletter. I feel like I've been in straight up survival mode! The husband is working non-stop thanks to the snow, and the kids have had a bunch of time off school due to scheduled days off and snow days. So, it has been an adventure. Even Sophie is over this freezing cold & snow! However, I have been keeping up with organizing my sewing room! I'll share some photos below. Also, get your WIPs into the Clubhouse by January 31 for our...

Happy Friday Reader! Christmas prep is in full swing here. I have an 8 and 5 year old - so they are the perfect age for all that Christmas joy. Of course, I'm not done shopping yet either - eeeek. However, I am off from work from Christmas Eve through the New Year - I can't wait. How's your holiday prep going? Quilting wise - I'm really excited - I have my first "tradition with a twist" block drafted - where I took some inspiration from the Sawtooth Star but made it a little curvy. I'm going...
