Big news everyone!
Today I am pleased to announce that I have joined Team Timeless. That means that I, along with a few other awesome designers, will be contributing a few tutorials per year to the Timeless Treasures Blog. We get to show off some of the cutest and newest fabric collections…I mean, just look at what I got to work with!
Sounds simple…right?
Of course it does, and my threader has been broken for years and I’ve done just fine without it. But as of late…well, lets just say my eyesight has seen better days…
As you may have noticed, I have a love for all things old-fashioned, feel-goody, and thoughtful. So, there was no way that I was going to let February 7th pass me by this year. Are YOU prepared?
Now that the hustle and bustle of the holiday season is over, it’s time for another video tutorial!
As many of you may already know, I’ll be teaching a class at The Old Country Store throughout the year. In class we’ll be learning about all the different feet that you can use on your Bernina Sewing Machine. It’s really incredible and I can’t wait to share all these awesome tricks with my students!

We recently got a ***brand new*** Hobby Lobby nearby.
My sister and I used to drive at least 45 minutes with 3 littles in the back seat to get there.
Now we just stroll right on over whenever we get the chance…let’s just say it’s a game changer.
So, as I was strolling through my friendly neighborhood Hobby Lobby, I noticed the overwhelming amount of Christmas decorations made of PomPoms…I’m talking ornaments, trees, garlands, pillows…you name it!
But the prices were OUTRAGEOUS. So, I carted myself and my little crafty baby over to the kids section and started throwing PomPoms in my cart. (Continue reading…)
Isn’t it just the best when there’s a pattern that you can use in more than one way!?
I discovered the beauty of this with my Squared Fashion Wrap, originally created for the chilly winter months. I then realized with a different fabric, it’s perfect for a beach cover up!
…but enough about that, it’s chilly for now, so let’s focus on the bitter cold blast that’s coming our way. (Continue reading…)
Today is a special day.
Yes, yes, it’s just another tutorial…
but it’s not just another tutorial, because today I’m releasing my very first video tutorial.
That’s right—I’ve finally realized that it is 2018 and that video is the way to go. I think you’re really going to enjoy these videos too! I love being able to interact with you like you’re in the studio sewing with me. I’m excited to see what you guys think and get started on more video tutorial projects! (Continue reading…)
You may have noticed some fun patterns around here lately like Snail Mail and my upcoming pattern: Polaroid Post.
There’s something sweet and old-fashioned about getting a card in the mail these days, the joy that you experience when someone took the time to sit and hand write you a thoughtful note is undeniable!
Now, when someone takes the time to sit down and sew me their thoughts—that means the world! Quilted postcards are a great way to get a quick little project in and show someone you care. The best part? You can create them using fabrics from your scrap pile and odds are that this card won’t get thrown away or stashed in a box…these are center-of-the-refrigerator material!
