my craftsy class, yay !!!

Hello lovelies, remember when I talked about the amazing opportunity I had a few weeks back when I flew to Denver and recorded a sewing class with Craftsy ? Yeah, the class is now live and it all is super surreal, and exciting, and intimidating all at the same time, eeeeek !!! My class Giftable Projects: Zippered Bags and Purse Organizer is a six lesson class with detailed instructions and lots of tips on how to make three different zipper pouches. Would you like to see the pouches I designed for the class? Here we go.  Easy Coin Pouch with removable wrist strap is the first (and easiest project). I love this sweet little pouch and have made quite a few of them for my daughters and their friends already.  The second pouch I teach is Double Zip pouch which makes a perfect pencil pouch or make up bag. I'm also thinking it would make a great hand sewing supplies pouch. Oh, the possibilities :) Last, but definitely not least, is this Keep it Ne...

blogger's quilt festival (fall 2016)


I'm a huge fan of Blogger's Quilt Festival as I greatly enjoy seeing all the amazing quilts submitted by many, many talented quilters so I was super excited it's finally here.

I haven't done much quilting lately, but I thought this would be a great time to once again show off my Scrappy Improv quilt (yes, my kids make fun of my inability to come up with any good quilt name constantly :)) .


This, without any doubt, is my most favorite quilt I have ever made. Ever!


I love everything about this quilt.

 I love that it's scrappy, yet not your "usual" scrappy full of color and gazillion fabrics. I love that the whole time I was making this quilt I had no idea where it would end up, or even if I'll like it :). 


I also love the simple straight line quilting and a bit of chunky hand quilting here and there.


And, of course I love the beautifully soft minky backing and the most fantastic red and white binding. Such a super, super happy way to frame this quilt.

I've submitted my quilt to Scrappy Quilt Category. And don't forget, anyone and everyone can submit their quilt to Blogger's Quilt Festival. Hope to see your amazing creations there.

un-paper towels (a quick tutorial)

Hello friends, I hope 2018 is off to a good start for you all! I'm not a fan of new year's resolutions as I tend to break them almost as soon as I think them up :),  but I did decide to focus more on producing less waste this year. My whole family is on board (which makes even small changes a lot more doable) and our first task is to work on reducing the amount of paper and plastic products we use in our kitchen. To start things off, I decided to replace our paper towels with a bunch of fabric un-paper towels . I came across quite a few suggestions on how to make these - some were just plain fabric, others had little snaps or grommets attached. In the end I went with a simple combination of cotton fabric and terry cloth, not adding any hardware as I worried that it might scratch my dishes or counters. I used some pretty fabric that's been sitting in my stash for far too long to make these. I even had some terry cloth on hand so the whole process was super quick and very, ve...
