Happy Friday Eve Reader! Well, when I suggested last week, it would be nice for quilting to be more kid friendly, I did not anticipate that there would be people who were firmly against that. First, thank you for all the great email responses last week - every one of them gave me something to...

Happy Friday Eve Reader! Do kids belong in quilting spaces? Specifically quilt shows and shops. I talked about how quilt shows were not particularly kid friendly this week. Even though the video has only been up a short time - I am surprised in some of the feedback I've received both privately and...

Happy Friday Reader! With a new month, I'm all about setting goals. I've always been the kid/adult that loves a fresh start, a new notebook, etc. We are setting our monthly goals in the Clubhouse and normally I'm so ambitious. But I'm finding the way I'm setting goals can suck the fun out of...

This Week's Struggle Lately, the biggest thing getting in the way of my sewing hasn't been motivation. It's Time. Work has been busy. The kids need three meals a day - every day (ugh, lol)! And when I do have a...

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 Eve Reader! Last week I posted an unboxing video of some Liberty fabric. It took off (thank you Algorithm) and I got 15k views on this video in the last week! This was such a huge moment for me - my biggest video so far! I'll link it below if you want to check it out! It was so much fun to see the views and comments coming in. Completely unexpected - but it was such a fun ride!!! Do you use liberty fabrics? Let me know! I'm still picking out a white and hoping my white samples...
