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 […]
crafty
miscellaneous fabric adventures.
so, i’ve been sewing a little here and a little there. it’s hard to keep up with on the blog because some of it is top secret. and some of it seems to small for a dedicated blog post. so, here’s a random mish-mash of what isn’t top secret. sort of. i made a few […]
the not-so-top-secret-anymore christmas quilt
awhile back, i made this quilt for my uncle for christmas. i couldn’t post it at the time, because i think he reads my blog, so i only posted it on flickr. last year, i was chatting with him and he said, “make me a charlie brown quilt” (in mostly those words). i wasn’t sure […]
rainbow mug rug
had a little bit of time to sew yesterday, while anna napped and isaac played in his room. because of a fabric.com order mishap (website inventory vs. actual inventory discrepency), i am at a stand still with a couple of quilts i’ve been working on, so i decided to knock out a mug rug for […]
buzzer beater (quilt)
i have been participating in a little bloggy contest called 12 quilts in ’12. (here and here, too). the goal (obvioiusly) is to make a quilt each month for 2012. i have been on track so far. i even won a little scrap bag of fabric and a ruler in january. anyone who enters all […]
a dress for the annababy.
after finishing up the granny square quilt, i was looking for a smaller, less time consuming sewing project. so, i pinned about a thousand little girl’s dresses and then picked out one that seemed kind of easy. first, i made one with some fabric that i wasn’t super crazy about. it was a little big […]
some pillows to match…
awhile back, i made this quilt for derek’s mom: when she put it on her bed, it was obvious that some new throw pillows were in order. the old ones were green, and not a green that matched this quilt’s green in any way. so, i picked up some pillow forms from ikea and hacked […]
scrappy granny.
whenever i think “scrappy granny”, i picture a little old lady, with a cane and a purse, who gets in fights on the street. anyhoooo… i finished my scrappy granny squares quilt. that is, my first scrappy granny squares quilt. because i still have enough 2.5 inch squares to make 28 more granny squares. i […]
a quilt for a friend
so, i’m constantly making quilts for my family. or for baby gifts. but, for my little group of friends, i’ve not been much of a bearer of quilts. now that i’m getting better and faster and my house is filling up with quilts, i decided it was high time to start making quilts for my […]
you make me happy, when skies are gray…
my go-to song for annababy is “you are my sunshine”. i’ve pinned a few things here and there to maybe put in her room to reflect this time in her life when i get to rock her and sing songs (ps. it’s almost over). but, when i happened upon this mini-quilt, i knew i would […]
