Emmeline’s Stroller Quilt

I’m back from my blog maternity leave!  I didn’t really mean to take one, but little-miss-30-minute-naps is keeping me pretty busy.  I’ve had time to work on several projects, though, so keep checking in, because I’m going to be getting caught up over the next few weeks.

I finished Emma’s stroller quilt [...]

Fairy Tale Quilt DONE!

The quilt for the baby is done and I am really excited with how it turned out:

I have to say, I think this is my very favorite quilt out of all the quilts I have made (which really isn’t THAT many). It probably doesn’t hurt that I merged my two all [...]

Quilt Along!

“Janice, don’t you have enough quilts on your plate right now?”

“Why, of COURSE not!”

Yes, I joined a quilt along.  I am a sucker for any of the group quilting projects on Flickr and how can I resist this one?  Look at the fantastic little quilt that Lynne (the quilt-along [...]

Fairy Tale Baby Quilt

I was so eager to own some Heather Ross “Far, Far Away” fabrics that I purchased them before I even knew I was having a girl.  I collected FQ’s of “Far, Far Away 1& 2″, added in a little Medocino, some Denyse Schmidt and a few coordinating Kona solids.

I [...]

STUD Swap

So, it’s NOT what you think (though wouldn’t that be fun, too?).  STUD stands for “Swap Til You Drop” and it’s another fun mini-quilt swap over on flickr.  I participated in their “fussy cut” swap and had to come up with something fun for my partner, Cindy.

I really went round and round in my [...]

1. Bee Block for September, 2. September “Bee Happy” Blocks, 3. October Bee [...]

Cloth Diapers: Pt III:Washing

There are so many ways to store and clean dirty diapers, but this is the way I found simplest and best for me.

I already have a Diaper Genie in the nursery for disposable diapers and I really didn’t want a second can sitting around.  I made these hanging wet bags that match Liam’s room decor:

Cloth Diapers: Pt II: Cloth Wipes

I was a little hesitant to try cloth wipes at first, but they are great and easy to use if you are already doing cloth diapers.  They also work SO much better than disposable wipes when you are cleaning a poopy butt!

Here are the items in my cloth wipes system:

Cloth Diapers: Pt I: The Diapers

Liam waiting for a rare sunny day.

A few people have asked me about my cloth diapering system and I figured I would post it here for easy access.   I’m going to divide it into three parts: Diapers, Cloth Wipes, & Washing.

When I first started to cloth diaper Liam, I used about 6 [...]

New Baby!

Yup, that’s right!  I have a baby girl due in May!

I’ve seriously been missing in action lately, and I have barely even been keeping up with my quilting bees, much less the blog.  On top of that, it’s the holidays and Liam is also transitioning to one nap, so I feel like I barely have [...]
