Making
Have you ever had one of those days when you know there’s a project that you should be working on, but you just can’t get into it? I’m there right now with one of my projects – that quilt for my little sister. It’s kind of sad really. I have all the blocks cut and…

As you know from my previous post, I’m working on a quilt for my sister Samantha. I’m super excited about how the quilt is coming along, and I’m even starting to like the colors. Not that I don’t like black and gold – I am a Purdue Alum myself. Boiler Up! I just wasn’t sure…

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…

I’m very excited that I found some backing fabric for my School Days HST Quilt. I stopped by my local quilt shop in hopes of finding some of the Red Composition fabric from the school days line. No luck with that, but Quilts N’ Bloom did have a bolt of the Dot to Dot fabric…

I’ve been working on another small quilt recently, trying to use up some of my stash. For this project I’m using the School Days Charm Pack by American Jane Patterns for Moda. I’m pairing the patterns with a dark blue floral I had purchased for some long forgotten project. I actually think that the blue…

If you’re like me, you keep the scraps from all of your finished projects, hoping that you will find a use for them later. Actually — I take that back — if you’re like me, you’ll collect everyone’s scraps in hopes of using them later. I have a lot of scraps at my house –…
