6 weeks

The company I work for has an amazing benefit – every few years we get an extended amount of time to focus on balancing our work and our life, while doing some professional development or volunteering. This is my third sabbatical – after 19 years.  I chose volunteering as my activity and got to makeContinue reading “6 weeks”

2018 in review – volume 3

Today I wrap up a summary of all the crafty things I did in 2018.  I am hoping this blog can be more of a journal in 2019, not just an annual report. Lots of baby quilts in 2018… here we go… A bit of improv and a lot of my favorite colors.  This quiltContinue reading “2018 in review – volume 3”

Another baby quilt recap…

My destiny is baby quilts.  Which is ok – because I love them.  With a baby quilt, you can finish in a weekend, use fun colors, and try out some ideas.  Here is a recap of some baby quilts I have made in the last few months…  This is based on an Elizabeth Hartman classContinue reading “Another baby quilt recap…”

Improv

Hi – I had a lot of fun making two improv baby quilts. This goal for the first one was to use about a bunch of 1/2-square triangle blocks.  I learned the trick from Jenny to sew an extra seam when making 1/2-square triangle blocks so you have a whole other block, rather than aContinue reading “Improv”

WIP update

I had lots of goals in April and got taken away by some new projects.  I only got 3 things done, but I did reduce my backlog to 22 (from 23 at the end of March). Here is what I got done: Blue and purple project Linus quilt completed.  I am not completely in loveContinue reading “WIP update”

Charity baby quilt breather

I want to get 24 baby quilts donated to Project Linus this year – to make up for the last couple of years when I didn’t get any made or donated.  I have been having a lot of fun.  I have finished 2 more in February, bringing my total up to 6 for the year.Continue reading “Charity baby quilt breather”

Baby quilts

As long time readers know, I make a lot of baby quilts. Lots and lots. Since 2014, I have a yearly goal of how many charity quilts I want to make. I love making baby charity quilts. There is no prescribed palette or style – I can use all the colors and prints I wantContinue reading “Baby quilts”

A Baby Quilt Update

I currently am working on the most dope baby quilt I have ever made.  Not kidding – truly the greatest.  But because that baby quilt is secret sewing, here are some pictures of some other baby quilts I have wrapped up quickly.  They are pretty ok… This was made based on a pattern in wanderlustContinue reading “A Baby Quilt Update”

Another Baby Quilt

Things have been hard the last few weeks. Some of my favorite blogs let people into their world – are honest and share the struggle so we all feel a little more human, like we are in this thing together.  I want to be able to do that – but it is hard.  Hard toContinue reading “Another Baby Quilt”
