The Navy and Yellow Log Cabin Quilt- Changing One of The Fabrics and How It Looks Now
Hi everyone! It’s been a month or so since I published a post about the navy and yellow log cabin quilt. Between the last post I made and this post, I haven’t been able to finish the turquoise and grey log cabin quilt. Even though the turquoise and grey quilt is not done, the navy and yellow quilt is! In this post, I wanted to talk about my decision to change one of the navy fabrics in my quilt and how it turned out. EDIT: I used two different watermarks in these photographs. One is for this blog, essieofwho.com, while the other one has the watermark I use for…

The Navy and Yellow Log Cabin Quilt- The Cut Strips and Block Sewing Progress
Hi everyone! It’s time to talk about a new quilt! Earlier this year, I began to work on another log cabin quilt using navy (Or blue depending on the fabric) and yellow fabric. I talked about this fabric in a previous post here. As of the publishing of this post, the blocks are finished, the quilting is finished, and the binding is finished. Like with my Turquoise and Grey quilt, I was worried about problems I would run into while making it. Unlike the Turquoise and Grey quilt, the Navy and Yellow quilt had a major problem. Explaining what happened and how I fixed it will take some time to…

The Patriotic Scrappy Quilt- The Fabric Choices
Hi everyone! The 4th of July is tomorrow! I’m excited to have a day off work. I’m also planning on eating steak and watching fireworks. This year, I planned on making a patriotic quilt. I bought the fabric and had a plan for it, but I didn’t move forward with it. Now that it’s the 4th of July, I’m a little disappointed I didn’t start on my quilt and can use it in my decor this year. Even though I’m disappointed, I wanted to share my plans in a post before I move forward with making the quilt.

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…

The Turquoise and Grey Log Cabin Quilt- Cutting the Strips and Beginning to Sew the Blocks
Hi everyone! It’s time to talk about sewing my turquoise and grey log cabin quilt! As of the publishing of this post, I have already finished the top of the quilt and is now waiting to be quilted. Yet, I haven’t talked about sewing it here on this blog. I decided to hold off talking about it until I finished the top. I didn’t know how long it would take to make the quilt, which is also why I decided to hold off talking about it. I already talked about making a log cabin quilt out of turquoise and grey fabric in a previous post. You can read it here.

Some Thoughts About JoAnn Stores Closing For Good
Hi everyone! I know it’s been a while since I published a post on this blog, but unfortunately I haven’t felt up to writing. I keep going back and forth about what to write and if I should talk about certain things online. Right now I feel like I have more things to talk about on this blog than on my other lifestyle focused blog. Since it’s been a while since I posted, I decided to start by talking about my thoughts about JoAnn stores closing for good.

Some Thoughts on JoAnn Stores and Their Most Recent Bankruptcy Filing
Hi everyone! I don’t normally talk about stores or brands and their business dealings, but I feel like I need to talk about JoAnn’s most recent bankruptcy filing. In 2024, JoAnn filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. I used to mention the JoAnn store many times in my sewing posts, but I stopped because I started to not shop there for fabric or DIY supplies. There were several reasons for this, but one of them is because the closest store to where I live became to hard to me to travel to. Despite my slowing interest in shopping at JoAnn, I also didn’t like the fabric selection they had. The quality…
