Beautiful, Erin! I think my body type is slightly similar to yours and I've just made the wiksten tank which I think you have made in the past. Can you say what the main fit difference is with this one? It looks really flattering. I'm not sure I love how the wiksten fits with my chest size.

Willow Tank, versions 1 and 2
A couple of weeks ago, I decided I needed to sew some clothing right away. This happens to me when I have been dealing with fiddly quilt blocks or need a palette refresher. It seems so satisfying in those moments to cut up large pieces of fabric and sew them back together. Anyhow, I had purcha...
I've been in a patch working phase as of late and have been thinking about starting a new quilt. I really love this pattern and would love to try it! Gorgeous work!!

Rinse and Repeat, 2.0 and (Over) Sharing
I'm very slowly, but surely working on the pattern for my Rinse and Repeat quilt. I have had a few emails wondering when the pattern will be ready and I promise it's coming. I made this second version to test my math (it's good!). I love how the saturated Anna Maria Horner prints look on that ...
This sounds like a great way to start the new year.

Greetings from Mindful Clutter Clearing e-course! The Mindful Clutter Clearing e-course is a four-week online journey to a more spacious, peaceful, and intentional home. Timed to take advantage of that new year momentum (class starts January 15), so you can jumpstart your whole-house declutt...
Love the update! I have been rethinking by fabric and yarn organization, too. I think it is a fall nesting thing. I watched Anna Maria's lesson and also LOVED it.
I have really been enjoying the Woolful podcasts, A playful Day, and some other knitting focused ones. Although I am sewing a lot, it seems as though my desire to become a better knitter has me binge listening to wool and knitting podcasts.

This September Friday
On Sunday, I used this block that I designed a year (or two?) ago to demonstrate paper piecing to my local guild. I'm hoping to find some time this weekend to finish it - those colors are really speaking to me right now. First, I have some commitments to take care of. I've been working away, q...
I appreciate your post, Amanda. your dress is lovely, as are you. Penciled eyebrows or not. ;)
I understand and hope to still see you in those pictures again soon....because if this is your day to account of the Soule family, it just wouldn't be right to not see you in it.

a pretty frock
I had the great and unexpected pleasure of meeting Miss Dottie Angel (Tif) this spring, when she came out to our knit night while I was in Bellingham, Washington. I've long admired her work, her writing, her everything, since first introduced to her - way back in the day in the when we b...
all such good things, and so prefectly summer feeling.

ten things on Monday morning
1. My girl is home!!!!! She arrived home happy, confident and full of new friendships and so many stories. Like the one about this treehouse, and a boy named Mike that she was hiding from because "Mom, he was just too silly, you know, and I think he liked me. Like, really liked me." 2. Her r...
It's beautiful, and trying different things (sale or not) is most fun.

A Friday Finish
In an effort to get something finished this week, I sat down at the machine and sewed the binding to this quilt. The pattern is Fox Tails by Tula Pink and I bought it as a kit last year on Craftsy. I am fairly certain that I never would have chosen to make this if the kit hadn't been on sale...
I think you are the fastest quilter. ever! :)

Gingham + Four-Patch
The girls left for camp almost three weeks ago and come home on Saturday. Naturally, I've spent most of the week focused on completing my long list of things that I thought I would accomplish while they were gone. I suppose I will always be a last-minute person at times. At top on my list was...
Oh, this post!! What a beautiful trip and experience, and oh! the yarn!! This has played a little part in reigniting my love of yarn and knitting. It's been slowly creeping up on me for months, but this just puts me over the edge. Good thing too, because it will take me months to get ready for the fall and winter months here in canada.
thank you for sharing amanda!

last stop, yarn!
I almost left the West Coast with no yarn. I know! So crazy. I had intended to make a stop or two along the way, but the days just filled up and it never happened (neither did I find the new clogs I was looking for. Hmn...the search continues). Every stop I made, people...
I wish I lived close enough to visit Craft South....what an exciting venture.

What to Pack: Carry-On Friendly Favorites
The other day I shared my packing secret to success in the pouches post, so today I wanted to expand on some of the things that get packed inside them. When I travel, I really like to carry-on my suitcase and if I can avoid checking a bag than I definitely will. That means doing a little troub...
Hi Kelly, I'm so excited to have discovered your videos and blog. You've inspired me to try the 6x12 size project life and I really think it is going to help me keep up without stress. I love the process but with a full time (somewhat stressful design career) and a family, the larger size became more of a burden than a fin creative outlet. I've also ordered a few of your stamps recently and am super excited to get this started!! Thanks for the inspiration, I really love your style of spreads.

2015 Project Life: Weeks Eleven + Twelve
We're sixteen weeks in to the year (gulp!) and it took me that long to realize the weeks in my album are numbered wrong. Ha! I didn't count week one, which was a half-week but luckily I have only been adding the dates to the actually pages (and not the week numbers as I've done in the past.) S...
What a great idea for a post! I love hearing how things have held up over time.

project updates
I tend to blog about things and then either causally mention an update or share in the comments section later or respond via email on how those things are working out. Today I wanted to give a big round-up of the most popular projects I get asked about in case you too have been wondering. I we...
