WIP Wednesday
After about a year long hiatus, I finally got back in my sewing space a couple weeks ago. Granted, that was mostly to convert the space to do crafting with Milli, but that meant cleaning up in the sewing area. And somehow, the easiest way to clean up my sewing projects is to finish them,…
Read MoreArt with Milli
I discovered a great artist a while back named Andrea Nelson. She does lots of bright colorful animal illustrations. But more recently, she’s started sharing some great process art projects to do with kids. Mil and I are loving making these projects together.

It’s slow with the tiny human as an assistant, but I managed to piece together the top left section on my communique baby quilt. It measures 22×22-inches, which isn’t much, but it makes Milli very happy. I’m hoping that I can distract her with this finished section while I work on the next one. What…

I’m taking a break from last week’s work in progress until I can pick out backing fabric and thread for quilting it. So I finally cut into the stack of blue fabrics I’ve been hoarding to make a sample of the Baby Communique Quilt. I started out by cutting out all of the strips and…
