I got to work with lots of fun fabrics for my August quilting bee’s!

Jolene asked for scrappy, happy blocks for her baby quilt in Fresh Modern Bee:

I love that orange solid.

Melissa asked for one block with [...]

I’ve been MIA a lot lately and it’s mostly due to having a small human by my side all the time and also because of the Doll Quilt Swap over on Flickr.  I read about the swap on the Fat Quarterly blog and I couldn’t resist joining.  Little did I know that it [...]

I’ve been working on Liam’s upcoming birthday party and wanted him to have a special shirt to wear on his big day. The party is Circus themed (minus the clowns), so I was thinking of doing something along those lines, but then this idea popped into my head.  For some reason [...]

I made this Union Jack block during Liam’s first naptime today (that’s 1 hour, 20 minutes on the dot) and I am in love with it!!  Lynne posted a great tutorial on her blog and you can check out other Union Jack projects in the Union Jack Flickr Group.  We’ll see [...]

I put the “Geese in the Forest” Quilt aside for a tiny bit because I had an idea for an i-spy quilt running through my brain.  I have tons of novelty squares that I won from a giveaway on Megan’s blog and I am supplementing with some of my own.  I will admit, [...]

Look what arrived on Friday!

My 80 fat quarters from the Vintage Sheet Swap!

They are so bright, cheery and PERFECT!  I can’t wait to use them in a project (or 10, or 20!).

Here are a few of my favorites:

It’s time again for the Blogger’s Quilt Festival!

I haven’t had much time to make many quilts since the last festival, but I do have a quilt that is near and dear in my heart.   When I was pregnant, last summer, I made my son a quilt for his [...]

43 down, 57 to go!

I am really loving how this quilt is turning out.  This was the first time I laid the blocks out and saw them all together.  I am not sure if I’ll keep the Twiddletails “Geese in the Forest” layout, or just do my own.  I [...]
