Read Part 2: The Ties We got a new car seat for baby #3, a Britax Chaperone. My old car seat cover would have worked just fine, but the colors didn’t really match. So it wouldn’t really have worked just fine. Zebra stripes and paisleys work much better. Love. It. I used minky for the […]

Love the colors, love the prints, […]
As promised yesterday, here’s a video demonstration on how to get that stinky walking foot on your machine. Happy quilting!
Remember my free motion quilting experiment? Well, I haven’t tried again since. I have so many projects to get done before this baby is born, I haven’t had time!
