haha! You knew I'd be back here with a quilt before too long, didn't you? Agh, you know me too well. I had a fire burning under me to get this done...I don't know why! It was so fun though, and I got to try out three new quilting things: 1. free motion quilting (so fun, but tiring for your arms. aka the squigglies) 2. stacked coin quilt … [Read more...]

Last week I visited my friend Dixie, who just had a baby boy 6 weeks ago. Not only did I get to cuddle with her son, Sadie got a present! Her daughter's Dora couch, which was hidden in her closet and we snuck out while she was playing on the Wii. Just kidding, she said it was fine to give away. Anyways, I was psyched because I'd had a couch like … [Read more...]

Man, it's tiring to quilt a quilt on a machine. Pushing all that fabric through over and over again. It's a work out! It's done though...so yay.

It has … [Read more...]

I wanted to share some of the crafty things I've done lately. They're not much, but I just love to make things for my house...I can't stop! It's a sickness. I wanted to try quilting something.

Itty Bitty baby dress and bow clips
May 5, 2008 By 3 Comments
I decided to tackle this little dress yesterday, with no help from my sister or mom. (I hate patterns and always need their help) I do ok with easy straight lines, so this dress was challenging, but not too difficult! I had the material all picked out, so I just went for it. It only took an hour and a half or so, the hardest part was getting the … [Read more...]
