Sassy Charm Quilt
I finally got the Sassy Charm Quilt completed! It’s possibly a miracle with everything that has been going on lately. I did get it quilted over a week ago, but I just didn’t have the time to bind it. I’ll blame my little sister and her wedding for that. This quilt’s finished size is about…

As I mentioned in my last post, my little sister got married over the weekend. One of the most time consuming prep items for the wedding was decorating the church and the reception hall. For Kayla’s wedding, we reused a lot of the glassware from my wedding. That was a huge cost and time saver.…

You remember that quilt that I started at the beginning of the week? I got it done! I have decided that I absolutely love making small quilts. Why? Because they’re quick. I love that I feel like I accomplished the same amount of work as a big quilt, even if it is smaller. The Road…
