Especially when I hang out with two other bloggers, I know they will dish on everything we do! Kristen (oh I like your new header Kristen, awesome picture!), Sciarrino and I had a sewing day in my basement.

From the guild
This last Thursday Sciarrino and I headed to another meeting of our wonderful Portland Modern Quilt Guild. I love it so much. Wonderful people and a much needed break. I almost didn’t go as Bj had a late phone meeting (meaning Tuesday would be too loud to have hanging out in his office) but my …
Summer Sewing
I’ve been adding lots of stuff to the Ribbon Jar lately in anticipation of fall (and dare I say it holiday!) crafting. I am loving this super wide ric-rac so I thought it would be fun to do it around a big pillow. I might go back around it and sew it a little closer together …

What all that binding was for
I am lucky to have a little god-daughter who has given us many of her old things, including this wrap jumper: That is special to me because V wore it the day we went wedding dress shopping. After pulling it out for Tuesday I realized that it really is quite simply constructed. So I decided …
Continuous Bias Binding
So yesterday with all that math and craziness. I hope you saw that I updated the post to say that I did not come up with those numbers, but copied it directly out of the book, you can see how I got so confused! I did find a couple of good site for making continuous …
