Jamie’s boyfriend, Carlos is a very talented photographer. I am not, but I guess our common love of art really brings us together and we find we have a lot to share. He recently pointed out this product to me, and I have to admit I am completely intrigued…

Christmas sewing and knitting revealed
You will recall that during December there was very little I was able to share in the sewing/quilting/knitting department, as I was working on “top secret” Christmas presents. I am happy to say that not only was I able to make all the presents on my list, but I actually finished them on time, with […]

A finished quilt
We had a really nice Christmas. . This year it was about family. Yet even our “little family” still involved 10 people! 🙂 And now that all the gifts have been delivered, I can reveal the sewing and knitting that took place during November and December. That is… of those items I actually remembered to […]

A very blessed Christmas
2011 was a particularly good year for me, and there are many, many things I am grateful for. Including so many of you wonderful online friends. You have been enthusiastic and so supportive of my endeavors, and that is a constant encouragement for me.

Well, I don’t know if I am completely ready yet to greet the new year, but I can say I AM ready with our BOM projects for next year. I’ve had a lot of fun drawing these… and I hope you will all enjoy them, too!

My Bucket List
For quite a few weeks now, Jared and I have been working diligently on improving and upgrading the back end of the Angie’s Bits ‘n Pieces website. If all goes well, we hope to have the upgrade in place for the New Year.

Warm weather Christmas
Over the last couple of years I’ve had several website visitors request Christmas designs more suited to the geographical areas where they live. And I was finally able to make some time this year to do exactly that.

Yep! I love to design!
Ok, so admittedly I wasn’t feeling ecstatic about my sewing accomplishments so far this year (it seems like so little as compared to how much I would like to do). So to cheer myself up I’ve done a little evaluating about what I have accomplished as a designer this year…

Oh, oh… one more!
In case you were wondering why I would choose to make an inventory of accomplishments… no, it isn’t that I need pats on the back or that I’m in a funk about not doing enough. It’s just that I’m a somewhat structured person (ok, ok… just a little OCD) and I find it helpful to […]

Christmas Collections
Over the last week we had a long holiday (from Wednesday on) which I used to do some computer housekeeping (over 65 GB in patterns alone to back up!) and some more Christmas sewing.

Serendipity
You will recall a couple of days ago I posted about some of my scrap busting efforts, including a couple of pieces in which in addition to itty bitty scraps of fabric I had included bits of thread and yarn.

And talking about scraps… and Christmas…
I came across a little project that combines itty bitty scraps with Christmas! And it involves two favorites of mine… circles and trees!

Saving scraps: when is it enough?
For someone who complains of not having enough time to sew, I sure seem to be able to accumulate scraps! Truth be told, I think that’s because I save everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. Quilting quality fabrics are hard to come by here, so I am always trying to find ways to economize.

I am a self-learner. I taught myself to sew and to quilt. And I taught myself how to draw. I love to dye my own fabrics, am a fanatic of free-motion quilting, and dabble with mixed media. I am a quilt designer and teacher, and design and publish my own line of quilt patterns. With this blog I would like to share the bits and pieces of my life.
