Thursday, February 11th, 2010I ran across this post via twitter last week and decided I would give these little fabric origami baskets a try for some Valentine’s goodies I needed to make. They are so cute and worked great! I can see making them for all kinds of things!

If it works with paper, why won’t it work with fabric?!
Thursday, January 28th, 2010I’ve been playing with envelope templates and printing various sizes on paper and decided that I had to try a fabric envelope!

Oh how I love embroidery software!
Thursday, October 22nd, 2009Ok, I admit, it’s been a while since I’ve really sat down and played with my computer embroidery software.

Christmas tablecloth
Thursday, September 25th, 2008I agree with the rest of you on the placemats – the red borders with the green triangles! That’s my favorite as well.
The tablecloth – This is the first thing I thought of doing with the beautiful borders in this collection. Those large, beautiful borders on that bolt of fabric are just calling for mitered [...]
MarJen for Error Quilt in Pink
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008I finished my pink version of the MarJen for Error quilt right down to even tacking on the label! I was a little concerned that the fabrics I chose would be too light and just blend together too much. But as I look at in now, finished, I love the soft, delicate look it creates! [...]
Christmas placemats
Monday, September 15th, 2008I know that it’s only September, but Christmas will be here in what will seem like only a few weeks. When I first saw the Splendid Holiday collection of fabrics that Benartex designed, I knew this would be the one to use this Christmas.
