i made a zipper pouch for derek’s mom for christmas. we exchanged gifts with his family earlier today. so, now i can post pics here. without further ado: found the totally perfect chick text print while in the mountains last weekend. didn’t notice until i started working on the pouch that the fabric also had […]
owl friend.
on thursday, a friend came over so i could “help” her make a handmade owl for her niece. i ended up kind of taking over the project, mostly in the interest of time. but, here’s the final product… she loves orange, so we used my favorite fabric from field study. (and then i immediately went […]
winter mountain visit.
last weekend, derek actually took a day off and we headed to the mountains of the boone (and banner elk and blowing rock) area. we mostly lounged around our little condo for friday, after taking our sweet time getting there.

charlie brown christmas quilts,
volume 2 and 3.
after i made frankie’s top secret charlie brown christmas quilt, i found the charlie brown quilt on fabric.com for so cheap i couldn’t not get it. the problem was, i needed 1/4 yard of all the different fabrics and fabric.com operates in 1/2 yards only. so, i bought enough fabric to make two. one for […]
