I received the AccuQuilt Go! Baby for review about a month ago and I am so in love with it. Just watch the video…you’ll see why! Along with the machine, AccuQuilt sent me the 3 1/2″ tumbler die and the 2″, 3″, and 5″ hexagon die. I broke my Go! Baby in with a little […]

So this whole disappearing 9 patch is kind of my new favorite thing. I love the random scrappy quilt patterns, but I do not have the random brilliance to put one together on my own. This pattern makes achieving that look so easy! I did learn a few things this time, and will improve my […]
We go through jeans in this house about like we go through toilet paper. It’s not my favorite task, but I don’t mind patching them up. I save all Boyd’s holey jeans (he has almost as many as the little boys do) for patches. To patch your very own toddler’s jeans, cut a patch large […]
Michael Miller always comes up with beautiful fabric collections, and this one is no exception. Ginger Blossom by Sandi Henderson is so bright and fun and beautiful with great colors and patterns. With the help of Accuquilt (more on them later…) I made a small tumbler quilt. This fabric was a dream to work with […]

To save yourself even from the possibility of ruining your project, stick a straight pin just inside one of the tacks. Starting in the center of the buttonhole, poke […]
Someone sent me a white spa towel wrap a few months ago and I loved it so much for after showering, I had to make one for swimming. With two kids and approximately 30 pounds of gear to carry on my person wherever we go, I just don’t have hands to keep my towel up […]
Good bibs are hard to come by, are they not? We had one old one that was perfect – vinyl and big, easy to clean and didn’t get moldy. But Gus has ripped it to shreds. I couldn’t find any bib in a store worth buying, so when I saw an adorable tablecloth at Target, […]
You Tube is one of my most trusted sources for how to information, especially about crocheting and knitting. In the patterns I’ve been reviewing I had to half double crochet 2 together and couldn’t find a video demonstration, so I figured it out and made my own video. For your viewing pleasure, I give you […]
