DH recently fixed some, ahem, issues with our kitchen ceiling. And I have been slightly inspired to redecorate it a bit – editing, mostly, to go with a vintage vibe. There is this weird space that needed a custom-sized thingamy. So I made a quilt, of course. I love the colors in this one. ActuallyContinue reading “Finish: Vintage Star Wall-Hanging”

Tiny Squares: My New Goal
When I started this year, my goal was to complete twelve Project Linus quilts. Which was aggressive, especially since there ended up being so. much. other sewing I wanted to do.

WIP: Vintage Stars
We are slowly making some very minor updates to our kitchen – we have big plans, but not big money. So we are taking it slowly.

Itsy Bitsy Dordable Baby Bibs
A little friend of mine had her first birthday recently. I had some fun making these little bibs for her. Some Notes: 1. I love working with a warm color palette.

More Little Girl Quilts – Three Finishes
I think I have almost worked through my making-quilts-for-little-girls phase. First there were was this one… I wanted to make bright chevrons on a mostly neutral quilt. This quilt was an absolute blast…. my points are getting much crisper, and nothing much better than these warm, girlie colors on the background of my favorite fabric.Continue reading “More Little Girl Quilts – Three Finishes”

On Friday night, I ignored all of my in-progress projects and started a small girl quilt. It is my default. I got a hankering to do a pink, red, yellow something or other.
