Good afternoon! I do hope all of my American friends had a wonderful and safe Independence Day! Ours was relatively quiet and very nice. Today I want to show you the extremely late birthday present I made for Emilee. She has been obsessed with horses since her entrance into the world, so the Mustang fabric...
Did you have a good Easter? We had a great time. Layla loves hunting for eggs and munching on sweets (though there’s some confusion about the bunny pooping out eggs and trick-or-treating which she has never actually done….) And Wallace just enjoys watching whatever Layla is doing and tries to keep up with her. We...
I was recently asked to be a part of the Traveling Threads Bee which is a small group of women who are mailing out blocks each month on a circuit. At the end of the year, the blocks and the additions made by the group will circle their way back to the original owners who...
Today I’m showing you the latest addition to Layla’s wardrobe, a tunic style tank made with some brand new Cotton + Steel fabric! Remember this top? Well its such a great style I decided to make another one, and I’m happy to say that Layla loves it. She’s a big time horse lover like her...

It was a rather tedious process, not only because of what is required to actually draw out the pattern, but also because I have a now ten-week-old who was extremely insistent on being held and entertained that whole day.

That dress is stunning. What a lucky girl! And I can’t believe you were told your machine is not up to par. Look what you *do* with your machine! More than most of us could ever do with our “better” machines. And it is pretty unbelievable that you were booted out of a contest where the prize is a machine that would get you “up to par.” So sorry, Meredith.
What a pretty dress! I was sorry to see that you’d been eliminated from the SOSM – I thought you did a great job on your blouse, especially given the Hello Kitty machine! It must have been difficult for the judges to eliminate anyone… I think it’s going to be a tough competition!
she looks adorable!! you’re going to come out on top at the next competition!
I’m so sorry you got eliminated from the challenge! I think it’s really weird that they would jump to the conclusion that your machine is not good enough. I’m not sure how they would even know what sort of machine you use. Best of luck! Love your blog!
