The patchwork class I taught Saturday and Sunday was a success. I even learned something. Two of the ladies in the class were hardcore quilters, but needed help figuring out how to pick fabrics and wanted a fresh look at things, which is why they took my class. I kept getting guff for not pressing [...]
I’m teaching a modern patchwork class this weekend. I’ll be showing how to stash, scrap bust and make some pretty sweet improv blocks. There’s still time to sign up … you know.
Currently I’m working on this super girly improv piece. I thought I’d do something different and was inspired to use [...]
Quite some time ago — okay, a realllllly long time ago — I posted some quilt blocks I had put together. Yes. I realize there was a 2-year time lapse there …
This year I’m going through the giant pile of WIP quilt pieces and finishing them. I swear. For real.

Mark’s brother-in-law likes MJ probably as much if not more … okay … who am I kidding? Nobody could like MJ more than me.
Anyway, I had a threadless shirt lying around and I decided to make him a pillow out of it. I like how it turned out. I think I like it better [...]
I’ve got another great tutorial I’d like to share with you. It comes from Sew Mama Sew — camera case/iPod cozy tutorial.
This is a great project for beginners. It takes a little amount of fabric and a small investment of time. I like this project because it takes me as much [...]
Hi. I’m chimes. If you’ve been reading my blog and are just now figuring this out, well howdy. I’ve decided to try Craftzine’s 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Profile questions. Enjoy!
One Project You Are Particularly Proud Of

We are moving again soon. And this weekend is the last weekend that I don’t have plans before the move, so I’m getting my last hurrah out of my system because all my crafty stuff has to go in storage as soon as possible.
I started going through my craft stuff and decided to finish [...]
Um, I may have gotten the t-shirts for this in the spring of 2009. Like March 2009. Regardless, I finally finished it. It broke my sewing machine twice. Twice. Therefore, not making any more quilts (at least quilting them). So if you want a quilt, I’ll make the top, but you’re on your own for [...]
Did I mention that I make onesies? I think I did a couple of other times. I do, but I don’t sell them. Just for gifts.
Check this cutie out! This is my friend Dani‘s niece.
She [...]
I’m going to be doing Craft Saturday this month on April 30th, so I’ve been working on some crafts.
I made a rule for this show — I can’t buy any new supplies — only use what’s in my stash and scraps. That way I can reduce the [...]
Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
