My Quilt Design Process
Though it’s something I haven’t had much time for with the new baby, I love making quilts.

Read MoreCreativity is Messy
Creativity is messy, and I am very creative… but that’s not an excuse for not being able to use any of the space in my house, for the piles of stuff collecting on all of the horizontal surfaces. Solution? Clean and organize. Matt has been very helpful with this process so far. We’ve still got…

As I told you all in my last post, I have decided to make myself a quilt. The inspiration for the quilt I wanted to make, was a cute mini quilt from the Purl Bee. After some thought, I’ve come up with a plan to incorporate the idea of circles in a design that’s a…
