Crazy Quilt Tutorial
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 –…

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…

With all the fun, exciting things going on in my life, I’ve been quite a slacker on all of my crafting and sewing projects, including my quilts. Fortunately, when I went home last night, I started cleaning the basement, which is where my crafting area is. I didn’t get too much cleaning done, but it…
