school was in full swing by the time september rolled along. after a little bit of a rough (tired) start for hazel, she was LOVING it. her grade had a class picnic and i got to meet some other parents and some of her friends. she seems to be settling into the public school life […]
fabric
the semi-miscellany of june.
this june was a pretty good one. we had an epic last hurrah in the rv in west virginia (previously posted). and we took an inaugural camping trip with our new fancy tent and gear to hanging rock (future post). but here’s all the other fun stuff that happened in june. well. and not so […]
april. 2022.
i’ve spent a lot of time trying to organize these photos into some sort of grouping that makes sense, but also accounts for the dimensions, orientation, and quality of the photos. but, april was such a strange month, fully of visits and cakes and such, so the random leftovers of april are just that, very […]
stay gold, bear paw quilt, stay gold.
i very rarely purchase entire fat quarter bundles of a fabric collection, but when photos of ruby star society’s new “stay gold” collection by melody miller starting popping up on my radar, i knew i had to have it all. within minutes, i had found an online shop with fat quarter bundles in stock, and […]
the first and last flying geese quilt i will make. (epic amh #4).
with the completion of my cathedral windows pillow, i had some anna maria horner themed mojo going, so i quickly moved into the making of my next addition to my epic amh quilt collection. i decided on a quilt made up of groups of four flying geese blocks (so i could use a handy no-waste […]
january 2022
i think most people would agree that january is the most blah month ever. the holidays are over. it’s still cold and gray. there’s nothing exciting to look forward to for a really long time. and it seems like it lasts for like 75 days. such was the case for this january around here in […]
other december happenings, including christmas.
and now, for my standard monthly recap, minus the things that were exciting enough (or i had too many picture of) to have their own posts (hazel’s cake, her birthday, christmas baking, and a quilt). turns out, there’s still a lot to talk about. firstly, anna decided to try out for her middle school basketball […]
scrappy christmas patchwork forest.
as it turns out, i have acquired a slightly ridiculous volume of christmas fabrics over the years. you see, it’s hard. because new stuff comes out and you have to buy it. and then christmas season happens so fast that you don’t get much time to use up much of the fabric. and then after […]
november twentytwentyone.
i seriously can’t believe it’s already december. this year has flown by. between my virtual teaching fiasco, preparing for and taking a long summer road trip, and the chaos of adjusting to two kids in school, i feel like i blinked and 11 months have gone by. anyhoooo. here’s a recap of all things november. […]
hexie i-spy quilt for the toddler nephew.
my baby brother’s baby is no longer a baby, but an actual full fledged toddler. two and a half and super curious. perfect conditions for a big kid i-spy quilt. i opted for big hexagons, similar to the matchy hexie quilts i made for the girls years ago. i didn’t use a pattern or tutorial. […]
