Part 1 – Starching Fabric
Several of you have asked me about starching fabric. How I do it, what I use, what the purpose is, etc. So I decided to do a quick live on Instagram and recorded it for everyone. This video shows the brand I use (Faultless heavy finish) and the method I learned from Kimberly Jolly (who… Continue reading Part 1 – Starching Fabric
Scrappy Cute
I’m a big fan of saving scraps for future projects, but not a huge fan of messes. Scraps can tend to get a bit out of control and definitely not cute! I needed to keep my space clean, cute but handy. So the solution? A large mouth Ball jar. A jar in itself is very… Continue reading Scrappy Cute

Do you struggle with that, too? The first one I ever did was not what I expected. I picked fabrics according to… Continue reading Mystery Quilts… yay or nay?
My First Free Motion
When I started quilting in 2018, I knew that I wanted to quilt my own quilts because I needed to experience the entire process. It became clear to me that straight line quilting was easy but quickly became boring to me. It was time to try my hand at free motion. First try at Free… Continue reading My First Free Motion
Weekend Reading
I don’t know about you, but I love a good audiobook while I’m sewing. It passes the time while giving me something to take in. This weekend I downloaded the audiobook for the book club I’m in.
