WIP Wednesday
It’s been ages since I’ve really had the chance to do any sewing or quilting. I’ve hardly touched my sewing machines since Milli was born, but with two new babies due in the family in the next couple of months, I’ve gotten my sewing machine back out. Now, Mil is still much too little to…
Read MoreA Guild Communique Quilt
A big thanks to Dottie and her quilt guild for sharing their version of the communique quilt, which their guild made as a challenge quilt last year.

After having my very own tiny human, I feel like quilting has really been on the back burner for me, but I recently got a chance to get down to my sewing space and finish up the quilt top that is supposed to be my daughter’s baby quilt. Hey – maybe if I’m lucky I’ll…
Read MoreAn Updated Quilt Layout
I’ve had lots of requests recently to use the layout design I originally made for my #DYOSampler Quilt, which became the base for my Communique Quilt. So, I took a little time and made a nice clean (digital) version of the layout for you all. I think this version will be much more useful to…
Read MoreI Reorganized My Pinboards and Why You Should Too
Pinterest recently added a new feature to pinboards – sections! It was, in my opinion, a much-needed addition. The addition of sections has allowed me to condense the number of pinboards on my account from over 50 down to 25. The best example of this was my fashion boards. Thanks to sections, I’ve gone from…
