Swapsies
from Granny Maud's Girl
I had not taken part in a swap in a very long time, so when I spotted the call for sign-ups for the #petitepatchworkswap, I put my hand up even though the sensible side of my brain knew that my time is limited and I should not. The swap organiser, @jasminesews, asked everyone to make a pouch and a small placemat or large coaster – small and manageable, I thought.
I know some people avoid swaps like the plague, but I genuinely enjoy them. I like the challenge of making something small for someone else and playing with techniques that my ...

A Teaser, Retreat Project, Great Friends and Stupid Weather
from caledonia quilter
This hasn't been picked up yet...stay tuned for next week.
Here's one of my drag-around projects that I was working on at retreat. I am hopeful that I can finish piecing the top when I head up to Margaret's in May.
It's made from 100 of these. It starts with 100 strip sets, then you add corners to two opposite sides and square 'em up. Those corners are a pale muted yellow.
I have two go-to aprons and THEY WERE BOTH IN THE WASH. How was I to cook??? The pink one was made by ...

Hi Makers,
I'm super excited to share with you our designer Jessica Swift's latest collection, LUGU!

Her collections definitely evoke a sense of nostalgia and childhood wonder that make them perfect for kids or adults that are young at heart! I especially love this collection because of the cute, little owls in it with their big eyes! They're one of my favorite birds and I love that they also represent "wisdom." :)

This Little Light...
from From the Strawberry Patch...
... o' mine, I'm gonna let it shine! This might be one of the brightest purchases I've made in a while. It's a Vivilux lamp, I bought it at MidAtlantic Quilt Festival last month. This is the desk lamp version, there's also a clamp-on and a stick-on that you can attach in the throat of your sewing machine.
