New Sewing Room/Studio

I've been very busy over the past week changing some rooms around. Considering that I haven't used my art studio in some time, I decided it would be best to turn it into my study. Therefore I had to move my painting stuff up to my sewing room.

 

 My new painting space. It's not much compared to what it used to be, but considering how little I've been painting, it will do for now. Besides, it's very cozy upstairs this time of year.

 

If you remember what my sewing room looked like before, it hasn't changed all that much. Somehow it looks and feels more spacious.

 

I hope you've enjoyed this little look around my sewing room/studio! Have a great weekend!

Item of the Week

 

This fun little quilt is the new "item of the week" in my Etsy shop. I made this little quilt with fabric from the Dress Up Days line by Riley Blake. If you purchase this adorable quilt this week you'll save a total of $17.

 

I hope you have a great week!!

Exciting Business News!

So I have some very exciting news.. I have been trying to figure out some ways in which I can expand my business and I've decided to start selling fabric on my Etsy page. Etsy not only allows us to sell handmade items, but supplies as well. I will be selling mostly pre-cut fabric from Moda and Riley Blake.This is a jelly roll (40 strips, 2 1/2 inches wide) from the Little Apples line by Moda.

This is a charm pack from the Meadow Friends line by Moda. It contains 42 5" squares.

I'm very excited about this because I've been using this fabric for years and I know how great it is. It's also fun just thinking about expanding. Some fabric just arrived this afternoon and I will get it listed on Etsy soon.

I have another addition to my business in the works that is even bigger than this! A whole lot bigger!!! I'm thrilled about it, but terrified at the same time. More details to come!

Have a great week!

Rag Quilted Table Runners

I just listed a bunch of new rag quilted table runners to my Etsy shop. Rag quilts are the latest trend in quilting. Unlike traditional quilting, with a rag quilt the wrong sides are sewn together, leaving the ends exposed. Those ends are snipped and the runner is laundered. What you're left with is soft frayed ends. They're really cute and people just love them. Here are a few that I listed:

"Jovial" Rag Quilted Table Runner
"Ready Set Snow" Rag Quilted Table Runner

"Fruitcake" Rag Quilted Table Runner

I think these runners are a ton of fun and they make wonderful gifts. They don't cost too much ($28 plus shipping) and since everyone has a table of some sort they will work for anyone. If you like them, I wouldn't wait because these tend to go fast. And I'm not sure that I'm going to make anymore this year.

Hope you all had a great weekend. Can you believe this is my 251st blog post?
