wasn’t she just in kindergarten?
high school graduation musingsCongratulations Graduate! My daughter is graduating from high school this year and my sewing machine is thinking graduation gifts.

The Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game inspired this series of nine art quilts. It was the use of a spectrum of moral and ethical perspectives for character development that caught my attention. And then how to represent them visually. There are two basic choices: the character’s view on law versus chaos and good versus evil. Both options also have a middle-ground of neutral. Plot these choices on a grid, and there are nine possibilities for your character’s “alignment.” Thinking about what “lawful” or “chaos” might look like was challenging and great fun.
D&D Alignment Quilts, 31″ x 31″ framed, $900 each. Please contact me for more information.

denim, denim, and more denim!
or, big time bargains …Fabric shopping … one of my favorite activities. But sometimes the best finds are off the beaten path. I make a lot of bags and smaller items so I don’t needs yards and yards of material. Often, I’m looking for just that special piece that will make a project come alive. Thrift shops are great […]

for your warmth and comfort
A friend was recently diagnosed with cancer and facing a round of chemotherapy. What could my sewing machine and I do to help her through the process? In browsing the interwebs, I had seen a number of postings about making quilts for chemotherapy patients; a body gets cold sitting for hours during infusions of below […]

for Betty and Joan …
… who wouldn’t entertain without a proper hostess apron. Mad Men is back and I just had to celebrate with something appropriately festive. Some red organza and taffeta seemed to fit the mood. A whiskey sour and some Chex mix and I was ready for the premiere! For pre-game entertainment, I also had a fresh […]

babies are grand
And the first grandbabies in a family are a joy. But the first great-grandbaby? Well, that’s a special gift. And one that requires special gifts! My brother’s first grandchild was born this winter and has inspired a mountain of baby themed sewing ideas. Quilts, jammies, hats, bibs … but the one that I actually followed […]

mom jeans …
Uh oh, I was informed that I’ve got “Mom jeans.” How did that ever happen?! Fortunately, we have ways of dealing with this type of fashion misstep. Armed with a rotary cutter, 6″ ruler, thread, an old towel and a flannel sheet I made quick work of those jeans (and a couple other old pairs […]

aprons for babies
Okay, we’re talking bibs. But really, what are bibs but tiny aprons? On infants they are just so cute. And on slightly bigger babies, they are nothing less than a laundry life-saver. There are very few rules in making baby aprons. Fabric-piecing. Applique. Ric rac (yay!). Upcycled t-shirts. Cotton. Oilcloth. Terry cloth. Just make it […]

bias tape:
it seemed so simple at the time …Launching into making vintage-styled aprons brought an unanticipated sewing challenge … bias tape. Yards and yards of bias tape. It sounded so simple, so direct. “Bind raw edges with double fold bias tape.” Right … The first challenge? Buying the bias tape. Easy, just go to the fabric store. Look at all those colors! Well, […]
