Last year Kid Giddy held a sew along to make her #uglysweaterblock. I was in for sure! This block makes me laugh! Of course – I made the blocks and never did anything with them … I’m sure that never happens to you. This is the time of the year I go through my sewing […]
Remembering Nancy Zieman
This Saturday, Quilt Expo and Wisconsin Public Television are hosting an event “Remembering Nancy Zieman.” While I can’t make it to this event I felt that this is a good time to share with you my few minutes that I was honored to spend with Nancy Zieman. It’s also very appropriate since Project QUILTING, Season […]
Tiny Tomte’s Paper Pieced Quilt Blocks

Pip at Level 2 State Gymnastics
My baby – yes she’s 6 – but she’s still my baby, had her Level 2 State Gymnastics meet today. I have to admit now that I’ve been through it with my big girls I’m not quite as stressed out at the meet. The great thing about Level 2 is everyone gets a trophy and […]

Trim the Tree and Deck the Halls
In my mission to get some “Christmas Spirit” I decided it was time to get the house decorated! Now – I couldn’t hang ornaments until the girls got home because that’s definitely a family thing but I could do some of the other decorating while they were at school. The first thing I did was […]
Project QUILTING Past–a Look Back
Last night I decided to post the very first quilt I ever made for the very first Project QUILTING challenge. Just a little look back at “Project QUILTING Past”. The very first challenge was “shoofly”. The twist on the challenge was that you had to incorporate at least one striped fabric. I couldn’t just use […]
Tomte Christmas
Typically I’m one to be one of those annoying people bursting with Christmas spirit and cheer. So far this year, it has not been the case. I’m determined to switch things around though and even tried searching pinterest for “Finding Christmas Spirit.” Nothing sounded thrilling to me … so I’m going to work on my […]
