The Zen of Ironing: March 2015
http://thezenofironing.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 7, 2015. Emmy Grace Baby Quilt. I went with a small 4.5" square (finished) hourglass block - I thought it would show off the fabrics well, but still be interesting by itself. I also picked up some coordinating solids and paired them with the more low volume fabrics from the line. I love the fishing girl! For some reason, the whole line strikes me as a little bit southern, which worked out since the recipients live in South Carolina. Labels: Art Gallery Fabrics. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Zen of Ironing: September 2014
http://thezenofironing.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 27, 2014. This'll be short, because this is another one I just snapped a few quick pics before it was sent off. I have picked and cut new fabrics for Nola's quilt, and even started to sew it up, but spent a long day seam ripping when I realized that I really didn't want navy in her quilt. Sigh. She really doesn't need one until she switches to her toddler bed, so I think I have a little time yet. I hope. Monday, September 15, 2014. I wish I had gotten a picture of the back! Here's my ...

The Zen of Ironing: Stripey Little Joey
http://thezenofironing.blogspot.com/2015/05/stripey-little-joey.html
Thursday, May 21, 2015. This is the Little Joey pattern. From Make It Perfect. I used some AGF knit fabric from Sew Caroline's Gleeful collection that I had in the stash and I knew needed to be a dress. The pattern has a kangaroo pocket on the front (hence the name of the pattern! Which I left off for the sake of speed, but I will definitely add it to the next one. I love the gathered sleeves and little waistband. But it is a little on the slim side, definitely sizing up the next one. Ocd: obsessive craf...

http://thezenofironing.blogspot.com/2015/04/hello-bear-baby-quilt.html
Wednesday, April 22, 2015. Hello Bear Baby Quilt. At the beginning of the year, I decided that at a minimum I would try to post once a month. Sooo.I better get this in before April is in the books. And, it just so happens that the baby this quilt was made for decided to make his appearance today! I wanted to try out the flying geese pattern, and being Type A as I am, I decided to paper piece them. It is a very good thing this is a baby quilt because it took forever, but the points were perfect. Penny Can...

The Zen of Ironing: December 2014
http://thezenofironing.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 15, 2014. I realized the other day as I was looking through pictures that I made a bunch of clothes for Nola, but haven't shared a single thing. Since I'm in the thick of Christmas sewing and can't *quite* share my latest wedding quilt yet, how about some adorable toddler(! Pictures with some handmade clothes? This was my first make of the summer, See Kate Sew's Pippa Peplum. Next up is the Shwin and Shwin Glass onion top. I've made half a dozen of Craftiness is Not optional's Nessie Top.

The Zen of Ironing: February 2015
http://thezenofironing.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 19, 2015. A Pair of Bright Quilts. Yes, it's February and these were Christmas gifts, but I'm slow and lame, ok? I quilted this one with diagonal straight lines. For the second quilt, I alternated blocks of 4 squares and 2 rectangles, just to keep them from being identical. I have no idea if they even noticed the difference, but it made me happy and kept me from being bored with doing 2 of the same quilts. Just stretching my comfort zone. Right now I am finishing up a quilt for ME - I ...

Raquo; Social Media and the Myth of Perfection. Social Media and the Myth of Perfection. Having been blogging for quite some time (though not as active as I was in the past), I’ve seen a fair share of trends come and go. I’ve seen bloggers start with their own little blogs based on interested and become superstars that become featured in nationwide traditional media. Some now make their living off of their identity that started in social media. Just be kind. Both to others and to yourselves. Do a blog po...
