Yes, indeed, I still love creating these basic patchwork blankets. If you have some frugal tendencies in you, using sheets from thrift stores is one great way to create without much investment! Do you have a stash of old vintage sheets in your closet, or do you have some childhood sheets you are having some… Read More
Finishing a quilt is always a huge accomplishment for me. With two little boys and one on the way, my time for sewing and creating is somewhat limited. I’m thankful my three year old still rests most days during my one year old’s nap. The 1:00 to 2:00 hour is kind of precious to me… Read More
Its finished, my friends! And, I’m pretty happy with it. I think a few different designs will evolve, but it’s what I envisioned. I just listed this one this evening in my Etsy Shop.
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

Over two and half years ago, my mom and I were getting ready for our annual combined garage sale. She pulled out all her sheets from her high school, college, and early married years. She said she hadn’t used those sheets in years, and she was going to sell them. At that point two years… Read More
Hi friends, I just added some pretty fun yellow and white triangle bunting to my Etsy shop. If you have a Farmer’s Market booth or children with a lemonade stand, this may be perfect for you. 🙂
Even though this week is a bit gloomy here in the midwest, spring has still arrived! Azaleas and irises are in full bloom outside, and the peonies are next in line. I ordered this low volume bundle of fabric a few weeks ago with spring and summer in mind, and some of these fabrics have… Read More
