Our local guild's small group held a sew day earlier this month to make items for our quilt show shoppe. One of the things we voted on as a group project was a sewing tool caddy, a really clever design. The design uses a flyer/photo stand that is 5x7-inches. I made mine in fabrics with …

Autumn Jubilee in the Sewing Room
For our last project post of Autumn Jubilee, we are going to play with Mason jars in the sewing room, and then preview a few new releases from our giveaway sponsor. Using Mason jars to separate buttons by color is a fun way to display your button collection. I put bits of Harvest Festival fabrics …

Sashiko Bag
Our local quilt guild had a program in September with a workshop on making a Sashiko bag. I had not tried this before, so I signed up to take the class. It turned out to be a really fun way of doing handwork that finishes quickly. The needles and threads are large, making it easy …
