Check out some of my coworkers and their sewing handiwork:

I got to sew…at work!

We made a total of 42 pillowcases to benefit ConKerr Cancer.

This is the backpack that I’m making.  In the episode I incorrectly attributed it to Oliver + S.  It is actually Liesl + S, which I think may be an offshoot of the same company.  I talked about my inability to form proper expectations for quilting and sewing paraphernalia.  This was no exception.  In spite of my own foot-shooting I should point out the instructions are very well written, the pattern pieces all fit together, and overall it is a really cute bag.

What are you working on?

Have a great weekend.  Thanks for listening!

The first and last quilts won 3rd place ribbons.  I’ve never won a ribbon before!  Yay!

The quilt show was fun but I’m glad it is over.  The giveaway is officially closed and I’ll be announcing the winner next time.  Have a great week!!

This quilt is DONE!  Bam!

This is the quilt I need to finish up for the quilt show.  You’ve seen it before but who doesn’t like a quilt picture?

finish me!

And I also did some hand quilting at the shop while The Girl took her sewing class. At least I did until I broke my bazillionth needle. Then I just shopped. Who can blame me, though? I was in a shop. With quilting stuff! I couldn’t resist.

This episode is special because it is The Husband’s birth year (73). He is on this show, so be warned…much straying from the subject occurs when The Husband has a say.

If you live in Northeast Ohio and are looking to enter a quilt show…might I suggest this one? Please!

Enjoy the show! Thank you for listening and have a great week. Quilt on!

Does anyone know the secret to a good hand-quilted stab stitch? I need heeeeelp!

You can click here to listen to (or download, if you right-click and choose ‘save as’) the show. Don’t forget to leave me a comment and say hi. Thank you for listening and have a great day!

Do you have a sewing buddy? Have you ever made an artist trading card?

Have you heard of the show Sherlock? You can catch it on Netflix.

Also I get to hand over this quilt tomorrow:

It is always exciting (and a little sad) to send a quilt to it’s forever home.

I talked about a great class I finished watching on Craftsy, “Hand Quilting with Andi Parejda.”  If you are new to hand-quilting this class is for you.  Andi goes over everything…thread, needles, batting, fabric, hoops, marking tools, and lots of other stuff.

I also signed up for another class – “Sew Retro Perfect Bombshell Dress.”  It was a reward for making a weight loss goal, and I wanted it to be inspiring yet not about quilting.  We’ll see how it goes!

I’ve been seeing it around the blogosphere a lot and after picking it up twice in the book store I decided it was time to take it home.
