Viking’s Quilt: Top Is Pieced!

I finally did it! Between waiting on fabric, and then returning fabric, and then finding out they never had the right fabric and re-ordering it from a different vendor, and then that fabric being delayed by the weather, it took me quite a while to piece this! I will at least start the quilting today. I wanted to start it last night, but I ended up going to a class for embroidery software this morning, and yesterday I had the job interview. I’ve just been running around a mile a minute. Now that I am back home and sewing, I know I can power through a big chunk of this tonight! Wish me luck!

Guess Who Has A Regular Job…

This Guy! I got hired today! I’m just so happy I could die, but too happy to die! Instead, I’m just going to roll around in my fabric and pet my thread! I feel so pretty! However, before I do all of that, I have to go an shovel snow. I love winter, but he snow shoveling really eats into my sewing time! I’m just super happy and wanted to share!

Confessions Of A Quilt-aholic: I Love Thread

As all quilters and sewers know, we love fabric! We have collections we call ‘stashes’. I think they are called that because we are always ‘stashing’ it away from our significant others. However, people don’t often talk about the thread they have accumulated. I was going through mine looking for some grey thread to piece with and I realized, “Dang! I have a lot of thread!” I mean a lot! Continue reading

Vikings Quilt: It’s Coming Along Alright

I have had such a busy day. I’ve been running around all morning, and then I had to go run around after lunch, but I am home now. I have a sewing class tomorrow at 8:30am so I cannot stay up too late, but I do want to finish the top tonight. I have until Tuesday to mail it out, but ideally I can mail it out tomorrow. We’ll just have to wait and see!

And The Winner Is… Drumroll Please…

and the winner is

Cin! A lovely woman named Cin, from Minnesota has one the giveaway! She asked her quilt be Aqua, Coral, and Seafoam. No idea when I am going to start the quilt, but she will have it by March! Hopefully!

For those of you who did not win, don’t despair! I’m going to be doing another drawing at 250,000 views! I hope everyone gets ready, I’ll probably be pulling a name in another couple of months!

I Have A Job Interview

I wish I had something quilting oriented to post this morning, but I had to go to sleep early last night. I have a job interview this morning! So, I emailed a sewing machine shop asking if they were looking for any help, and the owner responded saying he liked my blog and my Facebook page, and he not only wanted some help in his store, but he wanted help with his website, his Facebook page, and his Ebay page as well. I can;t really call myself an expert, but I’m pretty savvy in all of those departments. He even mentioned that if I am hired, he would teach me some sewing machine repair as well. I’m bringing two quilts with me to show him my ‘mad quilting skills’, so he doesn’t think all I can do is blog. I really hope I get the job, so as you read this wish me luck! I’ll make sure to post how everything goes when I get back home!
