KarriofBerries: May 2015
http://www.karriofberries.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 19, 2015. Abby over at A Things for Boys. Is hosting a selfish sewing swap. You are your partner! No more spending countless hours will be spent stalking a partner, using up your unicorn fabric, paying a small fortune to ship to only to receive nothing. Last year at Christmas, boy that was a bad time for me. I think I should create a cathedral window project for me. It will help me embrace imperfection because my windows aren't always perfect. Angel-cooky retro Christmas fabric. We got to se...

KarriofBerries: April 2015
http://www.karriofberries.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 13, 2015. Or in other words, how to dumb down an idea so you can actually make it in time to ship it to your partner with your sanity still intact. Sometimes, life picks you by your toes and takes you for a ride and you are just lucky enough to hold on and breathe. I think we have all been there. Please note that ceasing any communication and receiving but not sending isn't an option. For the rainbow swap, I really wanted to make this quilt by Tessa of The Sewing Chick. I found this amazing...

KarriofBerries: June 2015
http://www.karriofberries.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Is it to be better to be loved or to be feared? So, I know there have been complaints about a current IG swap that the swap mama is ruling with an iron fist. Note: I wrote this a long time ago. Just now getting around to publishing it. First, I want to say that as a swap mama (the organizer) that I felt responsible that everyone who sent a package received a package. Someone should make a cute graphic for that - No Swapper Left Behind. Even if you are only keeping up with a group ...

KarriofBerries: November 2014
http://www.karriofberries.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 27, 2014. We have six place mats but we needed seven for Thanksgiving. I asked Emma if she wanted a turkey place mat and she said that she wanted a purple turkey. I used Bee in My Bonnet's Tom Turkey. S tutorial. I never made half square triangles that way before so just a caution to read the directions twice. I added a bit more on the sides since my place mats are around 12 x 18 before they get washed. I do need to make a pressing board. Wednesday, November 26, 2014. I meant to make a...

Winter Wanderings: October 2014
http://cmwinter.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 29, 2014. My rotary mat and rulers fit inside it quite nicely. And another peek inside. See my pink rotary mat (it is 12" x 18") and a couple of rulers. I can also fit fabric and/or other sewing tools inside it, too. This tote is rather roomy. I love the side view too - actually it is the front of the tote, but when it is hanging on my shoulder, it matches the side view of me. Here is a view of the bag turned inside out - just to showcase the two funky fun kitty fabrics! Please join in...

KarriofBerries: Changes to the Naughty List
http://www.karriofberries.com/2015/08/changes-to-naughty-list.html
Saturday, August 1, 2015. Changes to the Naughty List. I asked people not to delete line items off of the naughty list and someone did so. Permissions have been turned off and its set to be seen only by me. I will add people back (karriofberries at gmail) and you won't be able to share it. To add you, I need your email, your in real life name (first and last) and what swap you are hosting. No more sharing of the list so that means I will probably only be able to grant access during the week.

KarriofBerries: Some People Come With A Warning....
http://www.karriofberries.com/2015/07/some-people-come-with-warning.html
Thursday, July 23, 2015. Some People Come With A Warning. If you are a swap mama, I strongly urge you to USE to the naughty list. If you are a swapper, you might want to ask your swap organizer if they are using it. I do think if you are a swap mama and are allowing people that are on the naughty (several times/repeat offenders), you need to be upfront and communicate that to your swappers. They should be given all the information before they spend their resources (time and money). Here is your sign.

KarriofBerries: February 2015
http://www.karriofberries.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 21, 2015. So, you are almost there. Ask yourself, did you top stitch where you needed to, does the zipper work, did you catch all the seams? After I sewed the back on this pillow, I didn't like how the back puffed out. I ran an edge stitch to keep the back to stay put. My doggies have short legs and can't reach my sewing table but I lint roll and look for loose threads that need to be clipped. I prefer the bubble lined envelopes. They are studier and tend to tear less. I always...So, I...
