I'm not a very tidy person be default. And a few years back, you would have always found my work table messy on any given day. But like I said earlier, recently I have been inspired by minimalism and have been enjoying downs…

I am not a prewasher by choice! If I can get away with it I do not prewash my fabric. I only prewash if the fabric bleeds. I use a lot of Indian fabric in my work. And a lot of it bleeds. I used to irritate me till I came t…

Today's prompt is so interesting. I could actually apply it in two different ways, so I will. 1. "If I could sew with ..." What version : I wish I could sew with a bobbin that would not need refilling. I wish it…

Honestly there is not a single color in the world that I do not like. All of the colors are beautiful if you look at them individually. I feel it is more some 'combinations' that I do not like. I like sets of colors th…

When I look back at my work, I realize that I use a lot of color in  my quilts. I love them to be bright and cheerful. So finding out the one color that was my favorite was  a difficult task. But then I decided to work it …

“Why don’t you use cheaper material to make my quilt?” I get asked a lot of variations of this question when I take custom orders and my customers hear the price I am quoting. I have already done a  post about pricing…

We all are our own best judges. Everyone has that one habit they wished they did not have. Here’s mine. I am a very open person. I normally do stuff right from my heart. I love to connect with people and I want people t…
