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 […]
quilt
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 […]
two tops.
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 […]
the week in review…
we had a pretty uneventful week this week. we started off with memorial day, as did the rest of the country, i suppose. derek made a bucket of guacamole and we headed over to our pals the p-salls for a little cookout. the buddies. derek took this picture of his burger, and thanks to apple’s […]
granny progress.
so far, i’ve made eight squares for the granny square quilt. or quilts. who knows. #1-4… #5-8… all 8…
granny square quilt.
since i can’t crochet, and i’m really coveting a granny square afghan, i figured the next best thing is to make a granny square quilt. i was recently in a rainbow charm swap at sweet diesel designs and had a pretty stack of 5 inch square rainbow fabrics. i added a few of my own […]
i-spy quilt for the lid kids.
i finished this up last night. i was in a couple of i-spy charm swaps, resulting in 112 different fabrics. then, i used some of my own stuff to get the number up to 144. added 144 more gray squares… quilt. bind. wash and dry. and… the whole top. the binding. machine stitched! (and you […]
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 […]
