ok. so. it’s been a crazy busy month. i have several blog posts that need some words added to their many pictures and then hopefully, maybe i’ll be all caught up. and then i’ll make a heartfelt, but nonetheless empty promise to do a better job blogging. and then, in another month, we’ll be in […]

jude’s quilt.
thanks to a sew-in for our modern quilt guild (hosted by sewingly yours) this weekend, i was finally able to finish up this quilt for my pal jude…. she picked out all of the fabrics on her very own, except for a few that i threw in that i knew she’d been ogling. we settled […]

my friend kerry is having her third baby. but her first girl. and long awaited girl. 😉 so, i wasn’t sure what to get or make her, given the little amount of time i’ve had lately, but i decided at the very last minute (thursday. the shower was friday) that i could make a baby […]
