Baby Deaton’s Pirate Quilt

Posted on April 21, 2012June 2, 2012by sarah

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 […]

the swoon is finished!

Posted on April 12, 2012April 12, 2012by sarah

onto the quilting front… i can’t remember if i’ve ever mentioned it here, but i received a windfall of fabric awhile back from a fellow quilter friend who got a bigger windfall and took what she wanted and passed the rest to me. 🙂 some of it was sort of my style. most was not. […]

Swoon-along update

Posted on January 27, 2012June 2, 2012by sarah

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

Posted on January 23, 2012by sarah

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 […]

meeting max

Posted on January 8, 2012January 9, 2012by sarah

Over the weekend, the lid kids and I loaded up and rode to Raleigh to meet max. As expected, he was cute and tiny and wrinkly and very much a brand new baby. He liked his quilt: Sarah’s parents stopped in to see us all and met Anna for the first time. We strolled down […]
