mug rug mania.
ok. not really mania. but, “some mug rugs” doesn’t have the same ring to it. oh. and i promise. this is my last post today. anyhooo… i made this mug rug for isaac’s teacher assistant. the back was these bikes: and this one for his teacher. with little apples clothes on the back: i made […]
zipper pouch swap.
just got home from our triad modern quilt guild christmas party. we had an ornament exchange and a zipper pouch swap. and lots of food and fun, of course. first, i drew kim (the incredible bag lady and amazing quilter) johnson… i was intimidated and at a loss for what to do. i knew she […]
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 […]
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 […]

field study patchwork quilt
so, here’s how it went down: i started quilting around when anna was born. i’m always late to the party on some fabric lines that i can’t really seem to embrace when they first come out. anna maria horner fabrics have been on that short list. when i saw field study, i knew that i […]
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 […]
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 […]
