busy
I have been super productive this week, or perhaps some projects that I have slowly incrementally been working on have come to a point where they are interesting to look at. I am super glad to announce: I finished mending the utility quilt! It has been on my Get it done list for three months. …
February get it done wrap up
I really want to get done in February: 1) Finish piecing Ducky quilt frame blocks. I did technically do this, however since I decided not to use those blocks, it is not done. 2) Finish dress. Yes, complete (except I need to find or fashion a belt)! 3) Mend grandmother’s utility quilt. Made progress but …
very close!
So I just realized I hadn’t updated about this dress for a long time. I have, however, been working on it quite steadily. Is it more dramatic when I take photos along the way or just suddenly appear with a nearly finished garment? In any case, it is nearly done, just a few stitches inside …

success
It is finished, and with plenty of time before Halloween! Every part of my house has some red fuzz. This fabric was a bear to work on and caused some weirdness, like somehow gathering a little bit on the front trim. I would not recommend using this fabric with this pattern. The pattern was easy …
no, it’s not elmo
Yes, I am make a garment. Learning to sew garments better is part of my goal for 2013, but Paul pushed me forward by requesting a bathrobe for Halloween (and hopefully beyond since all of this cost me nearly forty dollars). So far, I had to run back to the fabric store because I picked up the …
productive weekend
Well, I have been pretty incommunicado today. One phone is down and the internet went down for no reason. Yet, I had a really productive weekend. Here is my half-done rug. Simply denim strips sewn to a worn out rug. Then I fold the last strip and but the next one right against it to …
wedding highlights.
Finally, after all the anticipation, the wedding! It was a beautiful wedding. Here’s the bride and groom. Here’s the cool bridesmaids.
