Autumn From My Window
<p>For almost a month, I’ve been taking photos of the view from my office window as the seasons ebb from late summer to autumn. The colors burst into lively flame as the air cools and the sky grows dim. And then, they’re gone. The pictures were taken from the same spot in the cross-hairs of […]</p>

The Worstbug
<p>Hello. This post has nothing to do with adorable quilts, or fabric, or sewing. If that’s why you’re here, you may be disappointed. If, however, you ended up here by accident, maybe this will be the one post you enjoy. If you like the worst grossest things ever. Worstbugs. Bugs I’m so insanely afraid of […]</p>

Low Volume Baby
<p>The last few stitches coming into place, the last few threads to be cut, the first trip through the sudsy, cool, gently whirring washing machine. I love those moments that take a quilt from being a bunch of cloth joined together to being its own entity. Something that will live a life that–if it’s going […]</p>

Sew a Serenade
<p>I just realized that I hadn’t actually posted a full photo of the front of Quilt #2. And then I remembered that’s because I didn’t really get a good picture of it before it went to its new home. I feel like I’ve talked about it enough in previous posts that I’ll just leave this […]</p>

Fahrvergnügen
<p>I went on several unsuccessful trips to the store this weekend, ultimately braving the crowds for no good reason. Just as I was beginning to get a little down about it, I found this little guy, just hanging out in the parking lot. It made my day. My family had a yellow bug when I […]</p>

A rocky start, a rocky middle, and a happy ending
<p>Boy did I send a lot of time on this quilt. I received the fabric as a gift back in August and had the most trouble deciding what I wanted to do with it, pattern-wise. The fabric is Serenade by Kate Spain and I love it, but there is a lot going on–in color and […]</p>

How a sewing machine works
<p>Garrett found this gif on imgur and it has made all of the difference in understanding the problem I was having while finishing my previous quilt (pictures to come!). I thought I’d share in case it is helpful to anyone else. At the very least, it’ll mesmerize you for a few minutes. Source:Â imgur</p>

Forever to the Letter
<p>At the wedding last weekend, the couple passed out adorable cards that were in the style of a library reference card (adorable, right?). The cards took the place of a traditional guest book and asked each guest for their name, title of their favorite book, and some advice or well-wishes for the couple. When it […]</p>
