Zen Chic White Labyrinth Quilt
I’ve recently started another quilting project. I’m making the White Labyrinth quilt by Zen Chic. As I mentioned in my post about my favorite quilt designers, I’ve been looking forward to making this quilt for a while, and I’m really glad to be getting the chance to do it. My Fabrics The materials list actually…
Read MoreA Prairie Home Companion
Matt and I went to see A Prairie Home Companion live at Elliot Hall of Music on Purdue’s campus over the weekend. We had a pretty good time. I got to go to Von’s before the show, and what could be better than seeing the Purdue Varsity Glee Club and Old Crow Medicine Show preform…
Read MoreYellow Spiral Done
The yellow spiral quilt is officially finished! I completed the top a couple weeks ago, but couldn’t decide what to do about the binding. With Friday having been the Friday Night Sew-In, I wanted to get it out of the unfinished pile. After all, I’ve already started another quilt you’ll hear about in a few…

Read MoreBasting & Quilting
I’m in the process of finishing up the Yellow Spiral Quilt. I got the back on the quilt (with it’s pinwheel) finished on Friday. It was a quick and simple project, being mostly the solid yellow. I got my batting picked up over the weekend, so I was able to get everything pin basted- mostly.…
Read MoreMamaw’s Apple Pie
It’s been chilly out for the last couple weeks, which by itself is quite lovely. The leaves are starting to change, and I can make pumpkin flavored anything without people looking at me weird. The one bad thing about this time of year is that even though it can get quite cold in the house,…
Read MoreFashion Friday – Falling for Layers
There’s a chill in the air outside, but it’s the kind of chill that dissipates in the mid-day sun. That mean’s it’s time for layers. For me, that almost always means wearing a cami under my shirts. What do you wear when there’s a chill in the air?
