Posing with D in front of the fox fabric from A Walk In The Woods, at Sew Modern. Knit up in a rush, because this boy loves his stuffed animals. Clothes to come soon.
Baby boy quilt-in-progress, take 2
First, she sorted… (Well, first I sewed, THEN she sorted) Then we played. This one is much smaller, probably 45×55, so it’ll actually be for the baby. But it’s the same fabric line as D’s quilt, so they’ll coordinate. Cause clearly my house is all about coordination (not!) C just ordered me an early birthday […]
Finished quilt…
D requested the black sashing with yellow (perle cotton) stitching to simulate roads…. I pieced the back with the leftover big pieces…. It’s not super noticeable, because I switched thread color A LOT, but each block is FMQ’ed differently… sort of a practice sampler for me… the different quilting is most noticeable from the back, but […]
A little boy quilt

This post could also be acurately labeled as “Things that make me happy:” I got a new planner last week (well, I picked it up last week, but I ordered it several weeks ago) It’s the LIFE planner by Erin Condren, and I chose to put my own picture on the cover (free […]
Unedited.
Warning: feel free to skip the words and look at the pictures. Just prepare to be disappointed by my pictures. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I started this blog just to keep track (albeit in a public way) of my crafty adventures. I do not strive to earn money by blogging, nor do […]
