  • The Navy and Yellow Scrap Quilt: The Finished Quilt Top

    March 25, 2026 /

    Hi everyone! After a few days of work, I was able to complete the quilt top for my navy and yellow scrap quilt. I already talked making this quilt in two previous posts. (You can read them here and here) In them, I mentioned how fast the quilt came together. Well, after a few days worth of work, I was able to complete the top!

  • The Navy and Yellow Scrap Quilt- The Basis Blocks and Why I’m Making Another Quilt

    March 11, 2026 /

    Hi everyone! Some time ago, I wrote a series of posts about how I made a navy and yellow log cabin quilt. After the quilt was finished, I had fabric left over. I’m trying to not throw away as much cotton fabric as possible, so I decided to make a scrap quilt using the leftover pieces of fabric.

  • Romantic Scrap Quilt- All the Strips Are Cut

    March 6, 2026 /

    Hi everyone! It’s been a while since since I talked about sewing on this blog. (Ok, it’s been a very long while since I posted regularly, but I was busy with life offline) In order to get back into talking about sewing, I decided to start by talking about some of the progress I made on one of my quilts: The romantic scrap quilt. (I used to call it the romantic scrappy quilt, but I decided to drop the “scrappy” and just call it “scrap”.) I talked about this quilt in a previous post. (You can read it here) In the post, I talked about the fabric I purchased, which…

  • Mansfield Park Gate Quilt Kit by Riley Blake Designs

    February 10, 2026 /

    Hi everyone! Last year, I decided to buy some of Riley Blake Designs’ Jane Austen collection. The collection is a quilting fabric collection inspired by Jane Austen and her novels. The collection includes fat quarters, pre cut strips, and quilt kits. I already own three of the kits in the collection. (I talked about them here, here, here, and here) I like them a lot and planned on not purchasing any more kits from the collection. (They can be really expensive, hard to find, and I don’t always like the designs they create) Last year, after searching for the kits to make sure I really don’t want to own them,…

    Hi everyone! I’ve been doing a major clean out of all my things, including fabric. It’s been hard to let go of fabric I planned on using to make myself clothes and more, but I need to start letting them go. Even though I’m getting rid of a lot of fabric, I also discovered fabric I forgot I owned. In this case, I found a whole entire collection of Christmas fabric I purchased from Walmart.

  • Navy and Flower Sleeping Top Completed

    December 8, 2025 /

    Hi everyone! A few months ago, I decided to make myself some new pajama/sleeping clothes. I started making myself pajamas and sleeping clothes for several years due to cost, wear and tear, and to avoid aggravating my sensitive skin. In a previous post, which you can read here, I talked about making pajamas out of Waverly fabric from Walmart. I decided to use the navy and floral fabric to make myself a sleeping top to match my shorts.

  • Christmas Quilt Fabric Collection from Walmart

    December 3, 2025 /

    Hi everyone! A few years ago, I found some Christmas themed fabric available at Walmart. At that time, I wanted to make a Christmas quilt but didn’t try to collect fabric on it. I liked the Christmas themed fabric from Walmart, so I purchased my favorites and some coordinating fabrics from Walmart’s normal fabric line.
