Pie anyone?



Mmmm, made from scratch, too! (from this recipe…highly recommended)

So I’ve been pretty lazy lately, but I have managed to get a few things done. Like, Dickson and I ate an entire pumpkin pie in 4 days. Now we’re racking our brains trying to figure out what to do with the rest of the whipped cream.

I have done some sewing, too! Just not much has been finished…

KitchenAid Mixer Cover Tutorial

August 3, 2009 by Kristine Tsai

Okay, it’s been a REALLY LONG time since I made this, but I finally got around to writing up a tutorial for the KitchenAid mixer cover.
Mixer Cover

When I originally made the cover, I didn’t think much about writing up a tutorial.  Thus, no detailed pictures.  If I ever find my chicken scratch sketch, I’ll be sure to update this post with some numbers.  But, on the bright side, you’ll get a nice PDF printable tutorial :-)

Keep in mind these are pretty half-hazard instructions since it’s been over a year, so if you find any problems, please let me know!  I tried to make some diagrams, but they’re all in the PDF, so download it to get the most detailed version.

So, since Miranda finally got the quilt in the mail, I can share it with the world!


I finally bit the bullet and made my first quilt (and my first large free-motion project).  Well, I made a baby quilt awhile ago, but it was WAY easier than this one because it was smaller.  So this is my first big quilt!

Patchwork Pillow

June 12, 2009 by Kristine Tsai

Finished my first pinwheel attempt!

This was a gift for one of my coworkers.  Originally it was going to be 9 pinwheels instead of the squares, but when I assembled the 9 pinwheels, there were just some really annoying corners that just didn’t line up.  Too bad :-(   Now I have 8 wonky pinwheels laying around with no purpose.  They were originally made of the other three fabrics used in this pillow.

June 1, 2009 by Kristine Tsai

Woo, I finally completed a project!  Lately I’ve had a lot of unfinished projects.  This weekend I sat down and made the puzzle ball from Last Minute Patchwork+Quilted Gifts.
