We are doing a monthly challenge at the Bungalow. Each month we will select a fabric. Then, you can come into the shop and receive a piece of this fabric–for free. Take it home and do something fun with it. Bring it back at the end of the month. We will display them the following month. You could win a sweet fat quarter bundle worth $25.00. We will have in

Well, this weather has not been the most conducive to wearing all these cute bulky things that we knit up. It’s too warm. When did I ever think that we would say this in Wisconsin? I made this adorable hat for Peter’s girlfriend. Peter is my 19 year old son. He has been dating this lovely girl for a while. I know. I try not to get attached. They’re very

Here’s the second lamp shade that I have made using the new kits. The kits are ready to sell. I will be taking them to Quilt Con out in Pasadena. I think that they are a wonderful way to use your favorite fabrics. What could be better than letting the light shine through your favorite print! I think that they would work up well using collegiate fabrics. They would be

So do you want to let your light shine through your favorite fabric? Well have we got something for you! You can purchase these from our Etsy shop. What you need is the kit and your favorite fabric. Then you’ll need a lining. The instructions are included so you’re good to go. I had these specially made according to what I thought would be the perfect hanging lamp to showcase

Yes that’s right! You can pre-order my book on Amazon. It doesn’t come out officially until March of 2016. But, it can be pre-ordered now. I will be doing a stage presentation at Quilt Con in Pasadena in February, showing how to use the templates and describing the whole system. It is just so much fun to use. You can plow through your scraps in no time. There are 16

I am all about packaging. After all, when you go into a grocery store, so much of what you see is packaging. Food companies and large companies in general take packaging into great consideration. They have entire art departments working on packaging designs. And, if the packaging of food isn’t just right, it probably won’t sell. I have heard that laundry detergent sells better when it is in a red

There’s always someone sewing in the back room at the Bungalow. We’re very inviting. We like to have people in the back sewing. Sometimes people need a little help with their projects so they just come on in and work on them in the back. We have several Berninas in the back for people to use. We also have a “Go” cutter. The die cutter can be rented for $10/hr.

My daughter made this quilt. It’s a lap quilt. She’s a mommy with a little guy, and she finds time to sew. I always tell mothers that this is the best time to sew. You can find time by strategically placing your sewing machine. Where are you most times? Why at the washer and dryer of course. And you’re probably cooking dinner and making lunches. So, put your sewing machine

A friend of mine shared a post with me today on Facebook. It said “like” if you remember your mom’s button box. So, naturally I liked it. It made me remember all the good times I had playing with the buttons by sorting them and running my fingers through them. I am the least compulsive person in the world. I could never keep anything sorted in my life. But I
