I was thinking the other day about how cool it would be to sit in someones sewing room and watch their process as they work on a project. Outside of Instagram I am notoriously bad at sharing about my works in progress and I thought it would be fun to share what I am up to during the week, but instead...

Well I rarely get to participate in WIP Wednesday, because I am always too busy working on my WIPS to actually write my post haha, but today I wanted to share some WIPS and if you follow me on instagram, or flickr you may have seen some of these projects already. I am participating in Sew Sew Modern handmade swap....

I have been working on a lot of projects lately, but most of them I can't share about. Don't you hate that. The suspense is killing me that's for sure! This week I plan to finish up one of my "secret" projects and really hope to get back to sewing some Christmas presents. Next week is Reader Appreciation Week here...

I don't have to much time to write this morning, but I did want to squeeze in a little W.i.P Wednesday post for you all to see what I have been up to lately. Throughout the week when I am working on things I usually will take photos with my phone and share on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram(pileofabric), and Flickr. So...

Today I began working on a quilt I have been planning for quite some time. Thanks to the folks at Robert Kaufman for making this quilt possible! I don't wan't to give you too many details yet, but here are some pictures of what I have been working on today! Lets just say at this point I could probably name...

As usual I have been working on a million things at one time. I have been able to make some finishes along the way as well which always feels wonderful. So today I share my works in progress and finshes with you in a very picture heavy post. Works in Progress First starting with my W.i.P's! I am forever grateful...

Happy 4th of July! Today is also my father's birthday. Growing up during 4th of July we used to get a bucket of KFC and head to the high school baseball field for fireworks. After a while the fire danger got so bad they started doing laser shows instead (lame!) Tonight we do plan to see some fireworks. On another...

Last week I shared with you my Puma Zig-Zag Quilt that I was working on for my soon to be nephew Brennan. I was attempting to finish it in time for my sisters baby shower on Saturday. Well I'm happy to announce that I finished the quilt just in time! We live about 2 1/2 hours away from my sister...

I have learned that when I have a ton of WiPs, which is definitely the case right now, I need to just concentrate on one project. If I finish that one project I will have all the motivation I need to finish the rest. Something about a finished quilt just gives me a serious boost! Which is why I love...
