Winter, spring, summer, and fall quilting and sewing projects are all right here.
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 […]
When seasons change, so do the fashion trends. We all know it’s hard to make a winter favorite work in the middle of the summer and vice versa.

By now we’ve been seeing Christmas decor in just about every store since right around the time Halloween ended. I’ve been seeing some really cute holiday decorating ideas like throw pillows, dish towels, and Christmas bunting, but—maybe because they know we won’t have it displayed for very long—all of it has seemed to be very […]
Am I the only one that can already hear the faint sound of “Jingle Bells” in the distance? Fall gives way to winter all too quickly every year, and before you know it, you’ve barely survived Thanksgiving, and the candy canes are once again making their appearance. In the snowy Midwest where I live, the […]
Now that Thanksgiving is almost behind us (just two more days!), we can all turn our attention to my favorite time of year—Christmastime! With all the carols in the air and the snow starting to fall in many places, this is the perfect time of year to put together a holiday quilt that you and […]
When I think about Christmas, I think of a well-decorated tree, a fire crackling on the hearth, and, hanging right above the fireplace, a brightly-colored Christmas stocking hanging up and waiting for Santa.
