Well, OK, floor cushion, singular. For now! But there will be floor cushionS, plural, honest. In our den, we’ve got a small-ish sofa (about 5.5 feet) that we bought vintage from Craig’s List. There’s the small chair you see…
This weekend only, Craftsy is running a crazy great sale: all their classes are just $19.99! That includes my Design and Sew an A-Line Skirt class, which covers basic patternmaking skills, like how to measure yourself properly, how to…
On Saturday night, the internet brought me and Tony Danza together. And it was magic. If you’ve been following along, you know that around the time we moved into the shop in West Midtown, I had the nutty idea…
When I was working on Stitch Savvy, there were a few hairy moments. The book has 25 projects, and I had one week to shoot ALL the step-by-step photos for the lessons. At one point, we simply had to…
Come on down to the shop this Saturday, November 17, from 1 to 4 pm for our second annual Live Quilting Event! For most of us, when we begin quilting, we haven’t had the privilege of watching someone else…
When we first moved into this house, we had done most of the painting (thanks to my mother, who operated one of those rollers very bravely, if you ask me). Originally, this hall was rose pink from top to…
About a year ago, I gave in and joined Pinterest. I had resisted, since everyone else was doing it. But then I joined and it was love and magic and stuff. I have so far successfully avoided Instagram, certain…

Today is my seventh wedding anniversary. And I am wearing a really great dress: If you asked me what my husband and I do to celebrate milestones, I would tell you we go to a nice dinner–without the kids.…
It’s voting day. Again. Or I should say, at last. Does anyone else feel as though this has been the LONGEST election campaign in the history of this nation? I am thrilled to have the privilege and luxury of…
An excerpt of the welcome video for Happy Handmade Holidays, my Christmas e-course that begins today: I still have spots left! If you’re looking to join, or teetering on the fence, jog on over and click through to register–you’ll…
Hope you all had a Happy Halloween!…
I am back from Quilt Market, which is always a whirlwind. And this year, it’s just a few days before Halloween, which means I walked into a walking timebomb of costuming needs. Have spent nearly all of the last…
I’m heading to Houston today for Quilt Market, where I’ll be doing a presentation to shop owners and national retailers about my brand new book, which is set to arrive in just a few weeks! I have spent a…
Well, we’re making progress on Tony Danza, but it is slooooooow. And I’m a little worried about his eyes. The biggest issue is that postage stamp quilts, by their nature, are time-consuming to sew. They just take a minute…
