February UFO
UnFinished Objects: UFOs My goal this year is to get rid of some of the 20+ years of UFOs in my sewing room. It would be fine if they would stay quietly in my sewing room, but the problem with UFOs is that they can get in your head. At least they get into my [...]
November FMQ challenge
I have to be honest with you. I didn’t think I would be able to finish up the year-long challenge. This time of year gets so busy.

Free Motion Quilting Update
Okay, so I have been free motion quilting (FMQ). This is setting a quilt, or in my case, a practice sandwich under your sewing machine needle and without marking anything, just sew. Sounds scary! Well it is, I won’t lie. Sew Cal Gal is sponsoring this challenge. She has organized a whole bunch of experts [...]
