Hallelujah! I finally managed to finish Sadie's quilt, which I only started when she was a baby...that's all. And yes she's 3 1/2 now. In my defense, it was too big to quilt on my little machine, and I couldn't find a reasonable deal to have it sent off or too have somewhere local quilt it. Then my mom and dad joined this cool shop with all kinds … [Read more...]

November 1, 2011 By 59 Comments
I feel a little like I've lost my focus lately on the blog...like I need to churn out tons of kiddo clothes to be a good blogger.

(plus, the kids REALLY need some fall/winter stuff) So I set a goal yesterday to make something … [Read more...]

Please, enjoy the cuteness. I know I have. We got this doll bed at Ikea the other day, and of course the bedding that came with just would. not. do. Not for this obsessive sewer. So I made this little quilt/pillow set to match Sadie's room. (I said, obsessive) That little pillow is my favorite! Makes me wish I could shrink down to try it … [Read more...]
