Quilting has become a hobby I’ve grown to love over the last ten years. Starting simple is always good, and you can’t be a perfectionist with your first few projects. Everything may turn out a bit wonky at first, but I assure you that you will continue to improve as you continue sewing.
Christmas presents did not fail this year. My mother-in-law, as always, chose a really great gift for me. My older cutting mat was losing its ability to self heal, and I was learning its small size was becoming a bit of an inconvenience. I did a bit of looking around and found this one on… Read More

I ran across this minty Dresden plate quilt on Pinterest a while back. It was a little inspiration that pushed me to try something new. I did a bit of research… Read More

We have also been super busy lately, the kids have been… Read More
I started quilting around 2008 when a friend sent me a link to Allison’s blog. My friend sent me a link to an old door turned head board DIY post Allison had put up. Almost immediately, though, I was sucked into the pictures of quilts I saw on her blog. Her blog was my first… Read More
How many weeks until fall arrives? I’m LOVING this weather and so thankful to have the windows wide open every day right now. During nap times last week, I sewed up a little fall inspired product line. It’s really the first time I’ve ever sewn for the seasons, and I had fun doing something different.… Read More
