Today’s my birthday, so of course I celebrated the only way that makes sense… by starting a sewing project for myself. I pulled out some favorite quilt pieces and fabrics I’d been saving and started making a super cute sling bag.

Right as I was about to cut the lining, I noticed it… the old JoAnn’s label still on the daffodil fabric. It stopped me in my tracks and made me laugh a little.

Funny how a tiny fabric tag can hold so many memories. We still miss her every day.

I turned vintage mini planters and bud vases into sweet little pin cushions using antique sugar sack fabric—each one completely one-of-a-kind.

You can find these tiny beauties in The Quilted Tale booth on the third floor at Cambria Station Antiques. Which one is your favorite

In the last day, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know Annalee and Martha through the stitches they left behind.

Thank you to their families for trusting us with pieces of lives so beautifully lived.

We don’t just repurpose fabric — we carry stories forward.

Just a little quilty love for Valentine’s Day
And that purple vintage book… truly, what more could anyone want?

If you’re still searching for something thoughtful and one-of-a-kind, come see us at — or better yet, stop by hand in hand with your love.

It’s been a little quiet, but we’ve been busy behind the scenes.
This drop includes some new favorites—crossbody bags with adjustable straps, zipper pouches with embroidered pieces, and a long-prepped project finally finished: our demin tote bags with flower quilt square appliqué.

**Sometimes a quilt doesn’t lend itself to full bag panels, so we get creative. We do our best to use every bit of these well-loved textiles.

Find them in our 3rd floor booth at Cambria Station Antiques.

We popped back into New To Used in Buena Vista, VA to pick up a large steel book press for Old New River Books (stay tuned on that 👀), but you already know where we went next… straight to the shelves of vintage sewing machines.

We took this video a few weeks ago, and today we finally brought two of them home. They’ll live as colorful decorator pieces in our sewing room, and we am giddy about it.

Stay tuned to see which two came home with us!!

Welcome, 2026!
We have so much we’re excited to work toward this year, and we’re endlessly grateful for every bit of support you’ve shown us—liking a reel, sharing a post, sending heartfelt encouragement, or shopping with us at a show, directly, or through .

It’s been an amazing year ❤️ (minus JoAnn’s leaving us… we’re still processing 😅). And even though Gracie’s horoscope says ironing is optional, she was gifted a new iron for Christmas—so we guess the universe has spoken. Can’t wait to put it to work

Happy New Year, friends. Thank you for being part of our story.

Dropped my beloved sewer off at Sewbiz in Radford today for some much-needed love. She’s worked hard this year, and even with regular oiling, it felt like time for a “spa” day. Of course, the second I left her, I thought of 100 things I want to sew right now. 😂 Taking care of our tools matters—sweet machine, I’ll see you soon.

I’ve spent the last couple of snowy days working on a special project — Spencer’s handmade Momma gift. Since he moved into his first apartment this year and put up his own little tree, he needed a one-of-a-kind tree skirt to go with the ornaments we picked out from estate sales (and a bit from our family stash!).

Instead of using a vintage quilt, I stitched together vintage fabrics we’ve collected over time and made a sunburst-style tree skirt inspired by a Pinterest find (thanks . He got his gift a little early today, and I can’t wait to see it under his tree. Handmade gifts just feel different

Feeling so grateful today. A precious family shared their photos with us of our creations that they made their own—adding their names and their love. Thank you for supporting our dream and welcoming these treasures into your home. 🥰

Then today, I’ve been working on something special for Spencer’s first Christmas in his apartment, and while I can’t share it yet, their photos reminded me how grateful I am to sit behind my sewing machine and give new life to well-loved fabricy things.
