More quilts! More quilts!
Little-known, but interesting, fact: In Kim-landia, tomorrow = four days from now. This quilt was sitting in my UFO box, blocks already sewn into rows, and thus was an obvious candidate for my...

On a roll
A crayon roll, that is. I’m on a quilting kick at the moment. You see, it’s (nearly) August, the time when returning to school looms large. In response, I typically start a slew of projects that...

In the mail
Continuing my quilting streak, today I mailed off a quilt to Matt’s brother Andrew and his wife Jen, for their baby, who is due very, very soon. I know I’ve said it before, but I love wrapping quilts,...

Check!
I am officially done with: Advance cooking for the week. Matt and I made bell pepper casserole, edamame salad, and quiche with spinach, mushrooms, bacon, and cheese. That should cover lunches and a...

Denial, or OMG two weeks?!?
So I had a momentary freak-out yesterday when I looked at my calendar and realized, OMG, school starts in two weeks. Two weeks is about my usual gear-up period; I start heading to school in the...

This has been a very productive summer for me in terms of quilting (and essentially nothing else). I’ve finished a lot of projects that were in progress, and even managed a handful of new ones....

Kawaii
I’ve been on a small crafting kick of late; my newest addiction is little zippered pouches. I’d hoped to make a pencil pouch for my TA this year as part of her end-of-year present, but I didn’t have...

Pattern drafting
Everyone in the quilting blogosphere, it seems, is talking about voile tanks at the moment, so I thought I’d like to get my hand in. My main problem, besides lack of time/inclination/material, is that...

Greyhound walk and photo shoot — to musical accompaniment
Although there’s apparently a massive storm on the way, it hasn’t started yet, so Matt and I thought we’d take the dogs to the river before we get rained in. Since the light was nice, I thought the...

On “commission”
In addition to my recent garment sewing kick (and I have a finished dress that’s just awaiting photography, so stay tuned), I’ve been doing some quilting this summer. Actually, I got a head start on...

Blog backlog: I’m not dead yet! edition
School is kicking my butt like you wouldn’t believe this year (I have my contractual maximum of 170 kids, and it’s murder), plus I’m just generally a bad blogger. So sue me. In case you were wondering,...

“Recent” quilts
In spite of the slightly ominous noise my sewing machine has been making lately (yet another sign it really, really, really is time to get it serviced), I’ve been on something of a quilting spree....
