Lest I drift dreamily into the 80s movie, Breaking Away, about 4 young men (including a very, very young Dennis Quaid with very, very washboard-like abs; go ahead and watch the movie trailer that I linked above just for fun - you'll see them!) who spend their days mostly trying to avoid going to college. … Continue reading Ciao Bella!
First - a BOM update in the form of the above photo. Yes indeed, kits are being assembled and gorgeousness is about to happen, friends! We've still got a little over a month before the July 22nd first ever Serendipity Woods Block of the Month project kickoff and I'm pleased to announce that already - … Continue reading A BOM Update & Why You Need a Sewing Corner
I know - you can chastise me later for not constructing an immediate, lengthy and glorious post about all the wonderments of Spring Quilt Market 2016, the moment I got home from Salt Lake City, Utah a few weeks ago. Suffice to say, there were wonderments - MANY of them, but since Market, I've been … Continue reading A Teeny Tiny Quilt Market Recap Plus a Great Big Annoucement
Happy Monday Crafty Friends! Are you as shocked as I am that I'm actually posting a second CLH blog post in one week? Throughout the course of the last *almost* year since we opened Serendipity Woods Fabric Shop, it's taken me some time to get my sea legs about me with respect to the preservation … Continue reading Current Quilt Update and a Little Thing Called Bloglovin
As usual, it's been a while since I've shared here at the blog. Frankly - pesky social media sites - it's always easy to toss up a quick photo on Instagram or Facebook, which is a bit like posting to the world on January 1st that you've resolved to lose twenty pounds. Somehow, proclaiming it … Continue reading A Couple of Quilt Finishes, Some Thoughts on Social Media, and a New Addition to the Serendipity Bunny Team
Well, remember how totally on FIRE I was a while back with my progress for the above Sugar Stars quilt? Then everyone was like - 'Seriously? What happened to that quilt she was making? She never. Even. Published. The. Finish.' It's true - this is the first time I'm publishing my finished quilt because, as … Continue reading Sugar Stars Hazel Quilt – Finished, with Lessons Learned
Hi Quilty Friends! I know, I know...it's been a while, again!  That said, what a wonderful November we had at Serendipity Woods Shop!  While it's true that we've been bringing in lots of pretty new individual fabrics every day, we've also brought in some pretty full collections too, like... We're also extra excited for the continued … Continue reading Bundles, Stacks and a Finished Quilt
Hi Quilty Friends, Okay, remember a few weeks ago when I shared my rather soul-baring story about how Halloween is historically my least favorite holiday? In the event you need a refresher (or you just plain didn't read it because maybe creepy, scary, gory Halloween is your chosen bag of chips), you can catch up … Continue reading Part 2 – Hopelessly Unenthused October Baby Seeks Joyfully, Non-Creepy Halloween
Folks, I've spent my whole life wrestling with a serious personal dichotomy. Somewhat like a person whose ancestors have spent centuries in Africa trying to live comfortably in Alaska, I'm an October baby who vehemently dislikes all things creepy. What's more, not only was I born in October, my birthday is three days before Halloween. … Continue reading Hopelessly Unenthused October Baby Seeks Joyfully, Non-Creepy Halloween
Good morning, Quilty Friends! Sans the two ponytails (which have never represented a good look for me, ever), the even-across-the-forehead bangs (which never exist for girls with cowlicks), and the fresh wrinkle-free face (but let's pretend mid-forties aren't accompanied by laugh lines and a deep crease between my eyes because I'm inclined to communicate with … Continue reading Forward Propulsion with Helpers
