LAMQG scrap swap
We did a scrap swap again this year. I am lucky enough to have Latifah make me a sewing machine cover (it’s not done yet, but I got a peek tonight, and I cannot WAIT to see it in my bedroom!)My swap partner asked for placemats for her dogs, so here they are placemat 1, front and […]
current projects…
last night and tonight: A birthday dress (with navy blue leggings), for a little girl… I cut into some REALLY pretty yellow (and blue and red) fabric from Sew Modern, and made the Bean a little pleated jumper… She’s about to be a Yellow Bird! I’m super proud of the way I lined up the […]
Uh oh, I’m spoiling the baby!
(not mine, they’re already spoiled) My awesome friend Jon (one of the Bean’s godfathers) and his LOVELY wife Catey, just had a baby boy. We’re planning to visit them soon, but I can’t wait (mostly because I want more pretty pictures (ie, the ones C takes for me) to “feature” on the home page. also […]
Betty’s Baby Quilt
As I import, I realize there are lots of Drafts that I never finished, so here’s one… I made this quilt for a friend’s first baby… I also made them a wedding quilt (perhaps pre-blog?), so this was made with all the scraps from their quilt. I did actually present this WITH the VERY late […]
Me and Roxie

ballet dress for a little girl
we have a birthday party today, for a 3yo girl… like most, she likes pink and ballet, so when I saw this ballet shoe fabric at my Bernina dealer, I snapped up a yard, and made this last night…I don’t have a pattern, but I used the peasant top tutorial from indietutes as a jumping […]
toys for D
as I put D to bed last night, he informed me that I needed to “stay up and make me a felt Harper and some mice for my felt kitty”uh… ok.so here are the mice I made, (on a 1″x1″ grid, so you can see how tiny they are)and the puppy I made…and I used […]
a good night’s work…
I’m soooo excited about getting to use fancy fabrics… I usually just buy remnants for myself, or regular old quilting cotton, but for this wedding quilt, I bought some Folksy Flannel, and some Little Folks Voile, and some Far Far Away double gauze… and then, because I liked the corderoy I used on my quilt, […]
