Etsy Shop Update

Posted on by Tisha

This has been a great week and better things are still to come. 

I delivered my special order potholders this morning.  They were super fun and cute.  Totally spaced taking a photo of them. 

I finished products to put in my Etsy store and actually got them photographed and published.  I’m most proud of the Birdie baby quilt.  This is my second attempt at applique and I’m very pleased with the results.  While I was sewing I just was remember to move the fabric and take my time.  What an accomplishment.

I’ve got more sitting next to my machine ready to go and a few cute quilt ideas as well. 

The giveaway will start tomorrow.  Be sure to check back and see what it’s all about.  Have a creative Wednesday!!

Sounds like it’s time for a giveaway then doesn’t it?  Wow, I thought this day was going to take a few more weeks to get here. 

I would like to thank The Quilt Shoppe for featuring my blog today during their great game of Bingo. 

Okay look for a giveaway on Thursday, so check back.  I’ve got a project that is being delivered tomorrow and few things to get done for Etsy.  I want to reward my awesome readers. 

I’ll start on Thursday morning and run until Sunday evening.  Now time for a good idea and giveaway.

News Thread 6.14

Posted on by Tisha

I usually do my News Thread toward the middle of the week, but I figured I’d do it early this week.  It’s only Monday but there is lots going on.

My Etsy shop had two sales this weekend.  I am really happy about that.  Good thing I spent some time yesterday finishing some new items to list.  My shop looks a little empty now.  Four new sets of potholders and quilt coming up hopefully this evening.  Good thing I can sew at work.

I’ve pulled out the Holiday fabric to see what I can create.  Pretty sure that I need to get started on the Holiday projects now.  I’m looking at cute little tree I designed while at work last week.  Plus I have some ornaments started. 

Things to complete this week:

  • Birdie baby quilt
  • Photos for Etsy
  • Listings
  • More cutting and sewing for potholders
  • Cut and start new baby quilt

I’m hoping for good weather in the evenings so I can take decent photos.  I want to share with you what I have been creating.  There have been some nasty storms come through Indiana over the last few days. 

Anyone care to share anything creative they are working on?

I'm Changing Sunday to Sewday

Posted on by Tisha

Even on a Sunday with no set plans I can’t sleep in.  I woke up this morning and got a jump start on the internet.  Checking sales, FB, here and of course the news.  So by 9am I can be in my sewing room for the day. 

Weird that is so relaxing. 

To dos today:

  • Finish binding on the Birdie quilt.
  • Potholders for a friend.
  • Photo for Etsy

There will be some quick shopping trips in my day to help break it up.

Gearing Up

Posted on by Tisha

I spent my half day off yesterday sewing.  It was MARVELOUS.  Overall, I got a quilt pressed, pinned and 3/4 of the way quilted.  Now I just need about an hour to finish the quilting, trim, and get the binding on.  Woohoo.  New Etsy listing for me.

This week and I have been drooling over new fabrics.  No really, I spend time at my grown up job looking at manufacturer’s Web sites.  My coworkers say I should just sell fabric.  I would LOVE to, no clue how to do that though.  Any advice would be awesome.

Back on topic…next week is Fat Quarter Frenzy at Quilts Plus.  I have been waiting for this for a month.  I stopped in this week to pick up the backing to a quilt and was asking about it.  Turns out they have TUBS of fabric ready for next week.  I’m so excited that I’m taking a long lunch next Friday to enjoy.  Never know…maybe some of those fat quarters will end up as a give away on here. 

I have tried to be good and not purchase any new fabric so I can shop this sale.  I don’t normally like fat quarters, but they do come in handy.  Plus they’re going to be much cheaper than normal. 

So if you’re in the area, join me. 

This made me smile.
