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 […]
making stuff with needles and thread
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 […]
modern maple mug rugs
so, modern maple mania is sweeping the internet quilty world. and i’ve been wanting to make some little mug rugs (or placemats) for my kiddos, who pretty much hi-jack all of the mug rugs in the house. and i knew i’d never finish a whole modern maples quilt, given my time restrictions. so, i got […]
new favorite quilt!!!
i am so excited about this quilt. i had seen a lot of “scrappy trip along” quilts on the internets, but didn’t love them. they seemed way too busy to me. until i happened upon this one. i have been hoarding low volume prints for awhile and knew that this would be the perfect use […]
mug rug swap
there’s not much to report lately. in any part of my world. but, mostly in my quilty-crafty world. the quilt dungeon is a lonely place lately. but, last month, my guild had a mug rug swap. we were supposed to bring a mug and a coordinating mug rug and we would pretty much blindly select […]
little apples for baby three.
when we decided to go for baby number three, i knew that i wanted to make a quilt with little apples. for one, it’s mostly gender neutral. and i loved it. and a fat quarter bundle was on super good sale on etsy. so, here we are, anticipating baby number three in four months or […]
birthday supertote
just completed my very second noodlehead bag. the first was this bag that i love. this time, i was making a bag as a birthday gift for my mom, who pretty much carries a bag that would struggle to pass as a carry on for most airlines. so, i opted for the supertote… without further […]
post sewsouth swap – what i made.
after returning from sew south in march, still feeling the emotional sewing high, an online swap was quickly organized, and we all got to work making fun stuff for each other. i made this pillow for my partner. i used interfacing that was marked with a grid, which was a bit tedious but made for […]
