Beach Scene Quilt Panels (And Some Potential Future Plans for Them)
Hi everyone! After the problems with my turquoise and grey log cabin quilt, I decided to take a break from sewing for a while. Even though I’m on a break from sewing, I decided to clean out parts of my house. This is when I found more fabric. Some of the fabric was not longer good fabric (It was faux leather and was deteriorating) there were many pieces that were good. I decided to sort through them and see which ones I wanted to make or give away. This is when I found quilt panels I purchased a few years ago to hang on my walls. The panels are of…

St. Patrick’s Day Fabric from JoAnn
Hi everyone! This weekend is St. Patrick’s Day weekend. Even though I probably won’t do much to celebrate St Patrick’s Day (I don’t drink what-so-ever), I will be indulging in listening to Celtic music. Something I am thinking about this year is what to do with two pieces of St. Patrick’s Day inspired fabric. I purchased then the same time as the Valentine’s Day fabric I talked about in a different post. (You can read it here) I found both holiday fabric during a recent clean out of my things. I like the St. Patrick’s Day fabric a lot, so I decided to talk about it in a post.

Valentine’s Day Fabric from JoAnn’s
Hi everyone! I’ve been doing some major cleaning and reorganizing in my house for the past few years. This has caused me to reassess some of the things I own as well as how much I want to keep them. One of the default things I want to keep are my fabric collection. Sadly, over the years my fabric collection has become scattered all over the house. I stopped purchasing fabric last year in order to allow myself time to work my way through my collection. So far, I haven’t made much sewing progress. Yet, I haven’t added more fabric to it, which is a good thing. A few months…

Dragon Quilt Panels from the Late 2000’s (In Honor of the 2024 Year of the Dragon)
Hi everyone! The Chinese New Year is this Saturday. This year will be the year of the dragon. I was born in the year of the dragon. I usually don’t celebrate Chinese New Year (Especially because I’m not Chinese), but since this is the year with the same animal I was born in, I wanted to celebrate this new year! I don’t have many dragon inspired things to talk about on this blog, but I recently found something I thought would make for a great post! Many years ago, (AKA the 2000’s) I decided to purchase a collection of fabric panels and wanted to make a quilt. I never did…

Tinyspool & Co. Cottagecore Jelly Roll Fabric Pack
Hi everyone! Last week, I talked about the Fall Harvest jelly roll fabric pack by Tinyspool & Co. I also mentioned it is not the only jelly roll fabric pack I purchased by the company. I also purchased a jelly roll fabric pack in the Cottagecore color way. I found the Cottagecore jelly roll on Amazon before I saw the Fall Harvest pack. I was really surprised there was a Cottagecore inspired jelly roll, or any quilt fabric pack in the first place. Normally, the fabric designs I find that are Cottagecore inspired are in colors, styles, and patterns I don’t really like. The TinySpool & Co. jelly roll had…

Tinyspool & Co. Fall Harvest Jelly Roll Fabric Pack
Hi everyone! Like many people, I am very busy this time of the year. November is normally a slower month for me (Except the week leading up to Thanksgiving) but this year I am busy. Along with a major months long organizing project, I am also currently repainting one of the rooms in my house. I am also trying a new diet that requires eating more made-from-stratch foods in order to avoid food allergies. With so many things going on in my life, I don’t have the time like I wish I do to sew, knit, or do anything I normally want to do with my free time. Even though…

Cottagecore Inspired Fabric From Joann’s
Hi everyone! As I write this post, I’m in the process of doing a major clean out of all the things I own. Some of the things I own are not things I need anymore or it is not in good shape. It takes a while to sort through everything, but I am making progress! The most recent discovery I made are fabric I purchased years ago, but never used. Some of them are more recent purchased (Within the last year). Since I’m so focused on cleaning instead of sewing, I decided to write posts about the fabric, and other various things I find that would make a great post…

Create It Bee Cotton Fabric Strips from Walmart (And Thoughts About Shopping At My Closest Walmart)
Hi everyone! A month or so ago, I had an idea to make a new dress for spring. The plan was to make it out of yellow fabric and decorate the section where the bodice meets the skirt with a quilt pattern appliqué. I couldn’t find the right yellow fabric to make the dress out of, so I didn’t proceed in making it this year. Despite the fabric search setback, I still found some fabric that I wanted to use as the quilt appliqué. Since the dress making delay, I debated if I want to use the fabric to make a quilt or quilt pillow or to keep it until…

Red, White, and Blue Quilt Pillow Case- Fabric Choices and The Color Shades
Hi everyone! This weekend is Memorial Day weekend, which is the unofficial start of Summer. I wanted to make a patriotic themed quilt for years, but I never felt ready to do it until this year. Even though I want to make a full sized quilt, I wanted to start with a throw pillow case. Here is the fabric I decided to use for the quilt… Sadly, the photograph is dark and doesn’t show the true shades of the red and blue fabrics. I tried to edit the photograph so it would appear lighter, but it didn’t work well. So, I decided to post the original dark photograph of the…

Strawberry Tulle Fabric at JoAnn Fabric and Craft Store
Hi everyone! A few weeks ago, I went to JoAnn Fabric and Craft store for fabric and new sewing patterns. While shopping around, I found a bolt of tulle fabric with strawberries on it. I thought about if I should purchase it, but I ended up not. (I had other sewing projects I wanted to purchase fabric for instead) Even though I didn’t purchase the fabric, I liked it a lot and reminded me a lot of the Strawberry Dress that went viral a few years ago. I decided to write a post about the fabric, it’s cost, and anything else I felt of noteworthiness about it.
