Today marks Baby Tommy’s 6 month birthday… and he’s already over 25lbs and wears size 2T pants. He’s got two little teeth poking out on his bottom gums and he likes to spend a majority of his day awake, yelling & thbppppbbbppping at clientele, downing jars of whatever beans or fruit I have on me.

Staff Aprons
{Jenn :: Mili :: Isabelle :: Suzanne} A while back ago, we decided on having a shop uniform: every one of regular staff was asked to make their own apron. I love how each person individualized theirs! Mili’s bright colors, Jenn’s patch pocket, Isabelle’s embroidered apron panel, and Sue making sure hers would match her [...]
Focus!
post by Jenn I’ve mentioned before than my problem with quilting is finishing projects. Lots on the go and not a lot to show for it. I took the summer off quilting and did lots of little projects and FINISHED them. Now that it’s feeling like fall and I want to get back into quilting. [...]

A stitch in time
Last time I blogged, I was talking about handmade gifts. So today I thought I would share one of the most wonderful things I have ever received. It’s a memory quilt and was made by one of my best friends way back in 2006 when I was pregnant with my first child. It is made [...]

FSendoff: In Preparation
Remember this? Well, I do and somehow I’m back in the same spot! We leave for peaceful Bob’s Lake on Saturday but my mind if racing with all the things I need to tie up before I leave. I wonder if men are plagued with this pre-vacation stress. I doubt it. TO DO (SEWING + [...]
M.M.I.A.
by Meghan So I’ve been away from this space for a while. I had great intentions of writing while on holiday. In my head it was going to go something like this: balmy summer days spent languidly alternating between a book and a laptop while the kids amused themselves exploring our new surroundings. Hahahahaha!!! I’m [...]
Sunday Chronicles
Chronicles from our Sunday Sewist: Jenn Sundays are a day when our quilty regulars gather in the shop. I never cease to be amazed and inspired by this gang: Nicole brought in her first quilt and she had finally finished the top. It’s based on a photo she saw in Technology Weekly magazine of an [...]
