Most of the quilts I make are larger than twin sized. Making this throw sized quilt top for my three year old was a pleasant (and quite quick) endeavor.
These were a joy to sew. I think I’m finally at the point where sewing pillows comes with very few glitches. I’ve made enough of them now that I’m zeroing in on my best practices and processes. (It’s been six years in the making.)
In all honesty, I would not consider myself an impulse buyer. I’m not a huge shopper, and most of my purchases are quite calculated. If I go to the thrift store, I go for something specific…lest I come home with dust collectors. I’ve used the same purse for over six years now. My husband bought it for me when our second son was born. I haven’t bought a new purse since.
On January 26, 2020, I sewed the last stitch on this quilt. This is the first large quilt I have entirely hand quilted, and I actually finished it friends. I have no regrets, and I’ve enjoyed so many moments slowly stitching away. You can’t be in a hurry when you decide to hand quilt a huge quilt.

Many times when I purchase new fabrics, I have projects in mind, but the fabrics must wait in line until its turn. (Sometimes the fabrics must wait years. 🙂 )
Friends, this is my biggest restock ever. I actually just listed three new pillow covers in my Etsy Shop.
I chuckle. Three covers is not many, but it’s the most I’ve ever listed at once. 😉 I recently finished a quilt that looks exactly like this pillow. It was my inspiration.
I’ve contemplated depleting my vintage sheet stock pile. They’re tricky to sew with. I have to cut around the rough or stained spots. They’re not always easy to find in great condition.
But there’s just something a bit freeing about them.
This is the first Christmas / winter quilt top I’ve made. Every year when we pull out the Christmas decorations, I wish I had a Christmas quilt to pull out to throw on the couch. My children are still young, and the more special Christmas decor we set out for our home, the better. They love it.
