Greenfield Hill by Denyse Schmidt. We’ve got the complete collection in yardage and FQ sets. The voiles arrived today. Spectacular! Little Things by Sarah Fielke for Lecien. Many of us are familiar with Sarah’s popular Material Obsession quilt books. Little Things is the first fabric collection by this very talented Australian designer. I LOVE how…
I spent the day planning our Christmas Eve (Creamy Artichoke Dip and Linguine with Pancetta, Olive Oil, Chile, Clams and White Wine Sauce) and Christmas Day menus (Standing Rib Roast, Scalloped Potatoes and Green Beans), softening butter for the Christmas cookies (Macadamia Nut Chocolate Chip Refrigerator Cookies, Thumbprint Cookies and Mexican Wedding Cakes), picking up…
Sugar Pop by Liz Scott for Moda. Bits + Pieces Scrap Bag. Not officially a Fat Quarter set, I didn’t think anyone would complain that we’re giving away one of our new Bits + Pieces Scrap Bags this week. Priced by the pound, each set contains scrappy goodness from the Pink Chalk Fabrics’ scrap bin….
Thank you to this week’s ChalkTalk tipster: Mary of Pin. Sew. Press. I love all my Omnigrid rulers, but they can be kind of awkward to store. I came up with this solution and it has worked SO well for me! I purchased this simple plastic mail sorter at Target for $5.99. It holds everything…
What a fun giveaway post! You guys crack me up. One thing is for sure: sewists and quilters are not shy about what they want for Christmas! I’ve got two books winners. A second book showed up from the publisher so I’m giving that one away in addition to the signed copy that Malka will…

Fresh Quilting: Fearless Color, Design & Inspiration is an amazingly beautiful and content rich new book by Malka Dubrawsky. It’s no secret I’m a big fan of Malka’s work. The first time I saw one of her quilts I totally flipped out. Unique, colorful, and yes, Fresh! Her successful Etsy shop is a testament to…
From The Polar Express: At one time, most of my friends could hear the bell, but as years passed, it fell silent for all of them. Even Sarah found one Christmas that she could no longer hear its sweet sound. Though I’ve grown old, the bell still rings for me, as it does for all…
Because I use materials that are from “garbage” it’s not always typical fabric. I needed something to hold the layers together when a pin just wouldn’t cut it. I started using binder clips. Shazam! Worked wonderfully. When I shared this tip on my blog, one reader responded that she tried them with a t-shirt fabric…
