Some of you may remember when The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt Book was first published back in 2009. It got really popular in quilting circles around 2013 and 2014 and Quiltstagram exploded with beautiful examples like Camille Roskelley's. While going through things in my little sewing nook, I found a box full of my own... Continue Reading →
Four Finished Quilt Tops?
Friday! It's been such a strange week. I can confidently say that we're on the mend now but I still don't have the lung power to hop on my spin bike, which I've been missing lately.

Friday! | Annie Bayliss Update & Baking
Has the weather been strange in your neck of the woods? It has been so strange here! It's almost felt like spring - there's no snow on the ground, lots of rain, plenty of mud.

Making | 2022
I don't think of myself as a prolific maker, but goodness - I am eclectic! No wonder I always feel so scatterbrained - I have so many interests and allow myself to get pulled in so many directions.

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like… A Sweater
It is definitely not looking like Christmas around here! Today's rain will wash away all of our snow, so we won't have a white Christmas for the first time in about a decade. Bah humbug, I say!

Friday Finish | Bear Paw Socks
Welcome to December! This week, month, year... it has all flown by. We'll blink and it will be 2023 -- how is that possible?! I mentioned it on Wednesday, but it's been such a cloudy and gray week around here and it's been perfect for enjoying my newest pair of socks! I've barely gone a... Continue Reading →
A Scrumptious Finish
Well hello! I'm here today with a finished quilt that I've been working on since January 2014. No, that's not a typo. It's been in the works for over 8 years! This quilt is english paper pieced, which means I used paper templates to shape the fabric into hexagons and sewed all the pieces together... Continue Reading →
