We have a new baby at the Bungalow and it’s our window shades. These window shades are a clutch roller system. They’re not on a spring, so they don’t slip down throughout the course of the day. What I mean by this is that many people try and cover a regular, spring loaded shade with fabric. If you do this, the fabric is too heavy for the spring loaded shade

I actually have tendonitis in my hands. I thought it was arthritis but my husband said it was a tendonitis from all the sewing that I have been doing. Right before Quilt Expo it is crunch time. I have been working on things all year, and now it’s about a week and a half away. I love quilt expo. I am actually teaching this year. It will be about my

As anyone can see, I have been on a double gauze kick of late. I love the fabric. It took quite a bit of convincing from my Shannon Fabrics rep, Margaret. She was sure that I would love the stuff. But, I was slow to catch on. What is unusual about that is that I love to be the first to try any new fiber being introduced into the quilt

So, this darling girl opened a shop in the UK. She fell in love with my umbrellas, and wanted to know where she could get the umbrella frames for her shop. So I told her I would ship some to her. They made the trek across the big pond where she was very excited to receive them. We talked about the best way for her to conduct the classes. We

On my website, in my Etsy shop, I have been adding State Blocks. These blocks are paper pieced. I am definitely going to do all 50 states. Of course, Wisconsin was first. It was inspired by my Row-by-Row Block. There are so many different things that you can do with these blocks. You can make throw pillows, placemats, table runners, and of course quilts. You could put them in a
