A little boy quilt
I always have lots of scraps (sometimes lots of actual yardage) leftover after I make a quilt top for Robert Kaufman, so I decided to use some of the smaller scraps to make a quilt for the boy I am gestating right now… here’s the view looking down right now…. the Bean “helped” me whip […]
Beach School Sewing, finale.
a set of pencil bags for all the kids in one family (1 boy, 2 girls, all coordinating so they can’t fight over them!) beachy pot-holders vintage-y potholders and then just a little playing around… I was thinking of making a little bag for my new phone, but it might need to be turned into […]

Tangerine Tango WIP
I don’t think I’ll meet the March deadline for the Tangerine Tango Challenge, but I’m having fun working with these paper pieced bits. I wasn’t sure I’d like it, because basting isn’t super fun, but I’ve got a bunch basted now, and I like whip stitching them together, and I LOVE taking out the basting […]
Valentine blocks!

Beach School baby blanket

The fabric is most of a Remix charm pack, (arranged so helpfully by Lori), bordered in Kona White, and again with backing supplied by the always wonderful Liberty. (It’s a Riley Blake dot print), bound in a pretty Kona aqua color… I quilted it in double diagonal […]
Does anyone wanna scrap-bust with me?
Everyone seems to be scrapbusting in the new year, and I admit, I’m caught by the bug too. I have MUCH too much fabric. The problem is, most of the designs I like either rely on lots of a main fabric (which defeats my goal of using up lots of leftover fabric) or rely […]

Here’s the first of a series of xmas present posts… I made this quilt for my mother-in-law: here’s the front: and here’s the back: those zigzag edges were not fun to bind. C tried to take pictures of the long arm quilting I did. It was my first time, and even […]
