last year, since i was super pregnant, when the modern maples craze swept the quilt world, i opted to just make a few small placemats for our family. this year, i started seeing them pop up in instagramland and i knew that i just had to make a quilt this time around. with no projects […]
making stuff with needles and thread
four quilts for four sisters.
i’ve been on a finishing up quilts rampage this month. mostly because hazel sleeps. and because they’ve all come together at the same time. but mostly the sleeping. i started making these quilts for my friend brie’s THREE daughters. she had just found out she was pregnant with her fourth, so i cut and planned […]
matchy matchy quilts for my girlzzz
awhile back, when i first laid eyes on it, i bought a fat quarter bundle of wee wander fabric (by sarah jane studios) to make quilts for anna and hazel. i didn’t really have a plan, but i knew i wanted to make matching quilts in each of the colorways. i decided on a free […]
two sad quilts.
a bit of background. i have some friends. who had two kiddos. the oldest, a girl named corban, was born with some sort of super rare chromosome abnormality (i’m not exactly sure it even has a name). when she was born, they weren’t sure she would make it through the night. she was in the […]
rainbow tutu mania.
before anna’s birthday, i had the bright idea to make her a rainbow tutu. you know, to go with the rainbow dash my little pony theme. except then, everyone took a turn at being sick (some of us twice). and time ran out. well, i picked it back up yesterday. and frustratedly concocted this shoddily […]
that one time i actually sewed.
last friday, derek took a half day, so i could go to my quilt mom’s house, and she could teach me how to sew the sew together bag. (i wanted to take her class at the local quilt shop establishment, but i will be out of town for one of the sessions, so she offered […]
the first quilt post-hazel.
i just completed my first post-hazel quilt. it’s for the third deaton baby. i was originally just going to do some patchwork, but i had made the last deaton baby this quilt, so i wanted to make a sort of matchy quilt for this guy. once i was informed that robots and space would be […]
a dreaded quilt finish.
last year, for Christmas, derek got me a tula pink salt water fat quarter bundle. i decided i would use it to make a quilt that was a bit more time consuming. not my “usual” (see: wonky star). and would be more challenging. i settled on a kaleidoscope quilt. as i am often prone to […]
a girlier quilt for the girl.
i made a last minute decision to make a quick patchwork quilt for lid kid three. one that was a little more girlie. the first was a gender neutral-ish. anyhooo… i grabbed a stack of pinks, aquas, gray/topes and whites and got to work. it quickly grew and is a little bigger than i had […]
the superhero quilt
isaac is always super quick to remind me that he only has one quilt. he is always trying to smuggle my quilts into his room. so, i decided to make him one before the baby hit the scene. i went with superhero wonky stars. (disclaimer: i uploaded the photos from my phone to flickr, where […]
