Highlighter SOS

I know, I know, it’s not binding time…I haven’t even shown you all the blocks yet! Well, we just finished an exciting final week of filming (yes, you’ll get a peek at my “you must be due any day” 6 month baby bump), and after having sewn several BOM quilts over the course of shooting, […]

Some Quilts Just Can’t Catch A Break

Poor little guy. This quilt has been through such sad existance, I PRAY that he gets sold at the Holiday Handmade Market next month, and given to some adorable happy baby so that his little soul can be restored. He was born on a freezing, snowy night last winter, as the fire crackled and I […]

Stitched Together

What’s more meaningful than making a baby quilt for a special mom-to-be friend? Why making it WITH a special mom-to-be friend, of course!

One Project Down…6 Million to Go

All I can say is I’m so relieved to be finished with this quilt so I can get back to life. Ha! Seriously though, I loved making it, but wow, this one threatened to take me to the brink of sanity and back. I feel like it’s been taking over my sewing area for decades. […]
