Happy Quilt

Have I told you all how much I love Happy Quilt. I know why the owner named it Happy Quilt – it truly is heaven on earth. Picture this: a large warehouse where the little older couple who own the shop have hundreds of bolts of fabric and have, ever so painstakingly cut, folded and… Continue reading Happy Quilt

Sundays

Sundays are sacred days… I look forward to Sunday all week. After church and lunch with Joe my day begins to unfold. Laundry usually takes precedence, which surprisingly enough, I don’t mind on Sundays. Some Sundays I feel like sewing or scrapbooking, sometimes I feel like reorganizing the house. Some Sundays, much like today, baking… Continue reading Sundays

Late, late for a very important date…

Well the May Amy Butler In Stitches Sew-Along assignment was the cute little pleated apron.  It’s almost the end of June and I have two confessions: 1) I’m well past the deadline.  C’est la vie! 2) I majorly overhauled this pattern. I freehanded this apron design using 4 French themed dishcloths.  The AB pleated apron… Continue reading Late, late for a very important date…

I'm B-A-A-A-C-K! (Image heavy)

It’s been a while, I have no real valid excuses other than I needed a break and I was busy. I know everyone else is busy but I like to balance my busyness with a little bit of laziness as well. I think writing two blogs also makes it harder to keep up with them.… Continue reading I'm B-A-A-A-C-K! (Image heavy)

Two log cabin blocks I made for the Scrappy Cabin Challenge hosted by Melly & Me. A closeup of the blocks.  They are a little time consuming but… Continue reading Sleepy = short post…

Dongdaemun

It’s been a while since my last post and I have a lot to report. I finally quit my job and after a week of drama from the school director, I am finally free from his immoral business practices. He chocked it up to cultural differences but all my other Korean friends disagree. I won’t… Continue reading Dongdaemun

IT'S FINISHED (followed by maniacal laughter)

I can’t believe it but I actually finished the Amy Butler Ultimate Arts & Crafts Tote for my International Tote Exchange III partner tonight.  The bag probably took a total of 15 or so hours with all the cutting and piecing but it was SOOO worth it.  If I had another 15 hours of free… Continue reading IT'S FINISHED (followed by maniacal laughter)
