i have finished two quilt tops in two days. crazy. i was waiting on gray fabric to finish my granny square top, so i started working on a pave the way quilt kit that i’d picked up at karen gray design before it became little general design. then, the gray came, and i was able […]

soul blossom quilt. done. :)
last JULY, i strolled into karen gray’s (now the little general) looking for some inspiration for my next quilt. i wanted to make a king quilt for our bedroom. even though i had no kids with me, i still made an impulse purchase of a fat quarter bundle of amy butler’s soul blossom line. 33 […]
doll quilt swap…
despite having the kids home everyday, all day, i have found a few moments here and there to sew just a little bit. our quilt guild had a doll quilt swap (although i prefer mini quilt, since doll quilt makes us sound like weird old women who play with dolls), and i managed to finish […]
granny progress.
so far, i’ve made eight squares for the granny square quilt. or quilts. who knows. #1-4… #5-8… all 8…

Baby Deaton’s Pirate Quilt
On Monday, I acquired some fabric from my friend Amanda who is about ready to pop with her second baby, but first boy. I raced home and made a plan to do some scrappy wonky stars. I threw on some of my scraps (yay! I’ve finally arrived! I have scraps!) and got going. By the […]

Swoon-along update
Meanwhile, behind the scenes, a little here and a little there, I’ve managed to make 4 out of 9 swoon blocks in the Flickr swoon-along. After the third, I was a little discouraged, but I like the fourth and I’m motivated once again… Block #4: Block #3: Block #2: Block #1: All the blocks hanging […]
quilt for baby girl s
Somehow, in the last week or so, I managed to throw together this little quilt for my friend carlye’s (and mike’s) baby-girl-on-the-way. I originally planned to mail something closer to the due date (they recently moved to the Midwest 🙁 ). But, she’s coming back to town this weekend for a baby shower, so once […]
