Copenhagen Pillow Crochet Along from Amy Made That

Not too long ago,

I came across a blog called

Sew Well Maide.

I found all kinds of delightful

projects, tutorials and information there.

I think that's how I learned to add my signature to my posts.

Karen is one busy girl, and I like to see what she's up to.

She has joined in a Crochet Along,

hosted by

Lisa and Cubby House Crafts

and her sister

Jane at Sweet Cinnamon Stitches.

The free pattern they featured is for

the Copenhagen Pillow,

designed for Red Heart yarns by Yvonne Eijkenduijn.

March Goals from Quilting & Other Craft Therapy

A new month... for some reason I'm not feeling my usual rush of excitement and I've been trying to figure out why.

On on the one hand, I'm over the moon thrilled with my progress on UFOs! I mean like jumping up and down, patting myself on the back, high fives all around proud of myself - like this

or this.

But, I also have a nagging uncomfortable feeling lurking underneath that I can't quite articulate clearly. I look around my home and see all kinds of unfinished projects now. Things that haven't bothered me for ...

New Techniques on NewFOs from Quilting & Other Craft Therapy

Yesterday was a fun adventure in my quilting room as I challenged myself with all things NEW. Enlarging a pattern, freezer paper, reverse applique and a zip bag! All while fighting a cold, I actually think being so absorbed in figuring things out was a helpful distraction to feeling so crummy.

And I have two NewFO Finishes! First up is my Triple Zip Pouch from Debbie's wonderful tutorial at A Quilter's Table which was my January NewFO project. I can't say that this is my first experience with zippers as I learned to sew making clothing in ...

Purple Blocks & A V-Day Project from Quilting & Other Craft Therapy

I am having so much fun making blocks for this challenge! Here are my purple Crossroads blocks for February. I ended up making 11 of them and wouldn't be surprised if I end up making more blocks at the end of the year for an all purple quilt.

I used all shades of purple from blue/violet to pink/purple. I was really amazed by the variety I had in my stash of 5" charms. A quick session with the rotary cutter and I had 2.5" x 4.5" pieces ready to sew.

I think these blocks create ...

Sew Can She Sewalong Completed from Pretty Lady Baby

Hey Guys,

Well, I am have completed the It’s A New Year Sewalong. I made my Happy Husband a Chevron Desk Mat. Let me further explain! My husband has problems with his wrist so when he types he uses a orange towel to help him be as comfortable as he can be while he types. The towel was full of purpose but no style, now enters the Chevron Desk Mat. It perfectly fits the keyboard and mouse! He can also fold it towards the keyboard for extra cushion. Here is my submission:

This chevron design was so easy to ...

It's a New Year Sewalong! from Happy Turtle

These 5 groups were a natural fit for me...
