Pin It I whipped me up a new nursing cover to (mostly) match my car seat cover for this new baby. I used this fabulous Michael Miller fabric, part of the Citron Gray line. I love how it’s so neutral. Pretty for me but not girly for Linus. Love. It. I did this one super […]

Remember this quilt? I don’t have a name for it yet, I’m horrible at naming things…the fabric is Joel Dewberry’s Heirloom in Sapphire. This was my first go at designing on the wall, and I’m sold on that method all the way. I hung up a spare king sized flannel sheet on the wall and […]
For a while now I’ve been wanting to try machine quilting a Cricut design onto one of my quilts. I used this border wave design from Life is a Beach on my Marine quilt (by Dan Stiles), and I love how it turned out! I originally quilted straight horizontal lines, but I did them 3″ […]
But first…I finished the Citron Grey quilt top! I think I’ll call this quilt Half Crazy. I love it! Pressing seams can be tricky in quilting…open or to the side…? I think it’s a matter of preference. I used to be a strict open seam believer (because I learned to sew clothing first probably) but […]
I finished sewing all the strips together on my Citron Grey quilt…only I decided at the last minute to try to do them a little bit wonky. I totally cheated and cut them wonky on purpose, so it wasn’t all free loving with no measuring, but I’m a little braver and think I could try […]
Today is Monday, and I WILL have a giveaway this week, just probably not up and running until tomorrow. It’s a good one though…you’ll like it. As for today, I just finished hand sewing the binding onto my Michael Miller Ginger Blossom tumbler quilt. I enjoy hand sewing and always use a slip stitch, which […]
The Electric Quilt 7 software arrived in the mail on Friday of last week…I’ve been going NUTS designing patterns with it, and what a difference great technology makes. I went from graph paper and colored pencils and hours of drawing and erasing to being able to create an entire pattern, complete with colors, dimensions, borders, […]
And the winner is #132, the very last commenter! What are the chances…Erin! She said, “i would love this! i just bit the bullet and purchased a cricut! i used the Toy Story one recently, so this would just open up all sorts of possibilities (my friend made an awesome monster quilt, maybe i can […]
This quilt was my first go at a Disappearing 9 Patch quilt. I love the randomness, although I know now that I should have some solids to balance it all out. This is Moda’s Sugar Pop line, same stuff I used for my coin quilt, just a different color scheme. I love the coral/purple/pink/blue. I […]
I don’t think I’ve ever blogged about this finished quilt – but remember Moda’s Sugar Pop line? It was new at the end of last year and this is what I did with all the blues and greens. I love coin quilts (I think that’s what this is most widely known as…). I used a […]
