I love Precuts!


I love precuts!  I just can’t seem to get enough of these perfect little packs of fabric.  I love to buy precuts because I get to have a little sample of every fabric in the line.  The fabrics work together perfectly in any project because they are designed to do just that.  Buying yardage of each fabric in a line can get too expensive and it is sometimes just so sad to leave behind fabrics that I love.  With precuts, I can just take them all home! Layer Cakes, Jelly Rolls, Chocolate Bars, and especially Charm Packs, I love them all! 

This is my current selection of precuts that I have purchased from shops all around Minnesota and Wisconsin, and online as well. This group of fabrics will eventually become some of the charm pack bags that I make and sell and area craft shows and some will become wall-hangings or throw quilts as well.  Keep updated on my blog and I will show you how these beautiful fabrics come to life!

Long time comin'

I had hoped that I would have more energy to work while I have the house trailer to myself, but unfortunately that was not the case today.    After a slow start to the day and still a much needed nap, I was able to muster some energy and get to work sewing.   I am a quilter who always has a TON of UFO’s.   Sifting through half-done projects, I decided to start yet another one.   I decided to pull out a selection of fabric that I had purchased almost exactly a year ago and get to work on the quilt that I had designed with that line in mind.   These fabrics and this quilt have been on my mind for quite some time, so this one has certainly been a long time coming. The fabrics are from the “Serenity” line by Heather Mulder Peterson.   I absolutely love her designs! I have a good collection of her books and have really enjoyed every line of fabric she has put out for Henry Glass & Co.   “Serenity” is by far my favorite of her fabric lines...

Mail Sack Bags!

My sister is a great sounding board when I want to talk about what to make at craft shows.  She's not a sewist herself, but she has great fashion and style and loves to shop at craft shows! So she suggested a bit ago that I should make some cross body bags that are a little smaller than the regular size ones I already make.  So I took her advice!  The first cross body bag that I made ever was for myself a few years ago. I still use it for my daily use purse. The pattern that I used was the Mail Sack Bag from Pink Chalk Studio.  After making that one, I started designing a bag that was more me, and would be cute to sell at craft shows.  When I decided to make some bags in a new size I went right back to that pattern and got started.  They are a great pattern company and luckily are happy if people are interested in making their bag to sell in small quantities at craft shows.  So this week I whipped up four new bags.  ...

Creating a Blog Planner

I like to think I'm a pretty organized gal.  But with a busy life and lots of work, my mental best laid plans for blogging are quickly falling through the cracks. I ran across this great blog planner through Pinterest and I'm getting ready to give it a whirl!  The printables that Lamberts Lately  developed here are absolutely adorable and I can't wait to put them to use! Another awesome Pinterest find was this great tutorial from Just A Beautiful Life on to-do's and best practices for creating your own blogging binder. Between the great advice from both of these sites, I've got a start on my own blogging binder. I did a little office supply shopping (honestly, I love shopping for office supplies!) and picked up a cute colorful binder, some tab dividers, sheet protectors, loose leaf lined paper, and post it notes to put together with my freshly printed blog planning sheets. I have a three hole punch and nice markers at home to use already...
