isaac is always super quick to remind me that he only has one quilt. he is always trying to smuggle my quilts into his room. so, i decided to make him one before the baby hit the scene. i went with superhero wonky stars. (disclaimer: i uploaded the photos from my phone to flickr, where […]
quilt
school pics, thrifting, and more leaves…
i was pleasantly surprised with isaac’s school picture. more specifically, his smile. we’ve had some crazy ones in the past, and this one seemed pretty normal. i DO wish someone had helped him straighten his bow tie before the picture was taken, though. i’ve been working fast and furious to try to get a quilt […]
modern maple mug rugs
so, modern maple mania is sweeping the internet quilty world. and i’ve been wanting to make some little mug rugs (or placemats) for my kiddos, who pretty much hi-jack all of the mug rugs in the house. and i knew i’d never finish a whole modern maples quilt, given my time restrictions. so, i got […]
new favorite quilt!!!
i am so excited about this quilt. i had seen a lot of “scrappy trip along” quilts on the internets, but didn’t love them. they seemed way too busy to me. until i happened upon this one. i have been hoarding low volume prints for awhile and knew that this would be the perfect use […]
mug rug swap
there’s not much to report lately. in any part of my world. but, mostly in my quilty-crafty world. the quilt dungeon is a lonely place lately. but, last month, my guild had a mug rug swap. we were supposed to bring a mug and a coordinating mug rug and we would pretty much blindly select […]
our boring summer…
not much exciting happening over here. we’ve had the girls a lot, which limits our ability to get out and about. and drains us for our days off, so that we wind up just lounging around a lot. needless to say, our to do list hasn’t even been dented. here’s some noteworthy (sort of) pictures […]
little apples for baby three.
when we decided to go for baby number three, i knew that i wanted to make a quilt with little apples. for one, it’s mostly gender neutral. and i loved it. and a fat quarter bundle was on super good sale on etsy. so, here we are, anticipating baby number three in four months or […]
when we aren’t on vacation…
we’ve been on vacation for a good chunk of the summer so far. well. just the beach and batavia. but it seems like a lot. anyhow… here’s what’s been going on when we haven’t been traveling… we signed up for free weekday bowling with amf. we’ve only been once, with our pals, the pattisalls, but […]
post sewsouth swap – what i made.
after returning from sew south in march, still feeling the emotional sewing high, an online swap was quickly organized, and we all got to work making fun stuff for each other. i made this pillow for my partner. i used interfacing that was marked with a grid, which was a bit tedious but made for […]
kindergarten quilt
isaac’s kindergarten year is winding down. this week, they have a spring carnival, accompanied by a silent auction. his class is auctioning a quilt… his teachers had the kids all draw a self portrait onto fabric and i took over from there…. sorry. the lighting wasn’t great. i waited until the last minute (this morning) […]
