Quilt Market Fall 2015
Quilt Market is always a blast and always seems to fly by way too fast! We shared some pictures on Facebook and Instagram from my travels at Market and wanted to compile them in one place for you! I hope that if you weren’t able to go, these pictures will help you feel like you were there with me! For several years I’ve been helping Michael Miller Fabrics put up and take down their booth. I did it again this year and had a great time with great friends! After setup I got to enjoy Quilt Market and walk around. I didn’tRead More →

Action Figure Holder
It’s that time of week again and this tutorial couldn’t come at a better time! I’m in Star Wars prep mode as the new movie comes out in a few months so this fun Action figure Holder was a must! I needed a way to organize my kids action figures (Okay you caught me, they’re mine…) and this was the perfect project to do it! These can be used to hold jewelry, crafty supplies, tech gadgets, anything and everything that would fit and you need to take on the go! Click HERE to get all the details for this project!
Fabric Post Cards
The technology we have today is incredible! We can push a button on a machine in our kitchen and our food is cooked, we didn’t even have to gather wood or tend a fire! We can lay in bed in our pajamas, teeth not even brushed yet and order fabric to be sent right to your doorstep! We can send messages to people across the world without even picking up a writing utensil! The conveniences we have are phenomenal! **SOAP BOX OPINION** Yes, technology has made the world a more simple place (Except when I can’t get my wifi to work! Game over when thatRead More →
THANK YOU!
I wanted to take a quick second to say THANK YOU for all the love you’ve shown on this new channel! It has grown faster than I ever expected and it makes my heart swell! Thanks for watching the tutorials and sharing the love! I wouldn’t be able to do what I do without you!! Missouri Star Quilt Company gave me this skateboard deck as I reached a few goals of mine. The goals were to get 1 million views on YouTube and reach 25 thousand subscribers on YouTube! After 6 short months I made it! All thanks to YOU! I’m giving everyone virtual hugsRead More →
Pet Screen Earring Holder
Happy Manly Monday everyone!! This week’s tutorial is a fun one! A few months ago I showed you how to make a beach bag using pet screen and today’s tutorial uses the leftover pet screen from that project to make an Earring Holder!

Sister’s Oregon Trip
Hey everyone! I wanted to take a minute and share some (A LOT) of the pictures from my trip to Sister’s Oregon! I taught some classes at the Quilter’s Affair event and then volunteered at The Stitchin’ Post to sell some Quilt Show gear and checked out the sweet quilts on display! I had an absolute blast but man is it great to be home with my family again! I taught a few classes this week, the Color Strata Quilt class, Endangered Species Quilt class and Making friends with Your Quilting Machine with Rob Appell and Barbara Shape! All were fun, I can’t ever pickRead More →
Independence Day Traditions
I can’t believe that it’s almost Independence Day!! I love this time of year! Red, white and blue paving the streets, BBQs, fireworks, picnics, carnivals, family time, the list goes on forever! In my family, we have two Independence Day traditions. The first is to participate in the Morro Bay Family Fun Day. We love to kick it off with the bicycle parade. We all decorate our bikes and helmets and then cruise along the waterfront in a pack of several hundred people of all ages. The kids have always loved it and I love every chance they get to be creative! We then spendRead More →
International Fairy Day!
We love to get crafty with the kids, it keeps their imaginations going and allows them to express themselves! (We also want them to love art as much as we do!) Well a few days ago it was International Fairy Day. My daughter loved it!!! My family has been working on Fairy Gardens as a summer project and having an International holiday to celebrate fairies was the cherry on top! I just got around to taking pictures, but aren’t they turning out pretty sweet? We can’t wait to get them finished and painted! We hear that if we build them, the fairies will swarm in!Read More →
