Have a hard time getting out of bed in the winter? I know I do. It’s just too tough to leave the warm blankets when it’s cold and grey outside, especially since I’m usually up before the sun is out! Sometimes all you want to do is just stay in bed and relax. I’m here […]
If you’ve been looking for some home decor inspiration for the new year, you’ve got to give the rustic country trend a try. There’s nothing quite like some rooster prints and burlap to make an average room feel like a cozy country cottage! You don’t have to live in the south to channel that farm-life […]
For the last (but not least!) day of Organization Week, we’ve got a whole bunch of our best scrapbuster projects to help you clear out those old, leftover scraps from your 2019 projects! Because you can’t buy new fabric until you’ve made room, right? (Or so we tell ourselves…) You’ll only accumulate more scraps as […]
Ah, love is in the air… or is that panic? Valentine’s Day will be here before you know it, and, while the typical gifts of jewelry and flowers are usually all it takes to win over a lady, it’s a little harder to figure out what to get for a man. While some might like […]
The first month of 2020 has absolutely flown by. I can’t believe we’ve come up on February so quickly! It seems like just last week I was still scrambling to get my Christmas gifts wrapped, and now I’ve got to think about Valentine’s Day. Luckily, though, there was, in fact, an entire month in between […]
Valentine’s Day is on its way, and chances are, if you’re in a relationship, you’ve been thinking about how you’re going to celebrate (if you do that sort of thing.) However, before you get lost in the sea of sappy cards and roses, remember that there are more kinds of love than just the romantic […]
Precuts definitely make the quilting world go ’round. Cutting your own fabric can certainly be rewarding, but it takes the kind of time and precision that the average quilter just doesn’t have. Buying precuts takes the guesswork out of the cutting process and also out of finding fabrics that work well together—they’re already sold in […]
Happy New Year’s Eve, sewists! The new year is the perfect time to start on a new quilting project. For one thing, there’s always the excitement of a fresh start that motivates us to try new things and set new goals for ourselves. For another, when it’s so cold outside, there’s nothing quite like staying […]
Although winter definitely has its downsides—hello, snow-shoveling and icy roads—the truth is that I usually spend the rest of the year thinking about how much I love all of the cute accessories that come along with it. You can’t exactly wear a hat and scarf in the middle of July (unless you’re willing to get […]
Winter is a great time of year to work on a new sewing or quilting project. It’s too cold for outdoor activities, and I don’t know about you, but when it gets dark this early I’m usually too tired to do anything too physical anyway. If you’re brainstorming some ideas for new winter sewing projects […]
