I have been working on a very special quilt these past few weeks. My amazing grandmother is celebrating a very special birthday this year. She is so special in so many ways and has taught me many things over the years. I remember all the fabulous things she made for me as I was growing up [...]

We went for bagels this morning and then decided to spend a little time with the butterflies, and Rosy of course. Check out the cute layer cake skirt I whipped up for Riley.
Birdie Dress

Julie has been uber patient with me and coaching me through an “easy” McCall’s pattern. I did make it and Riley seems enjoying the result. I’m not sure I’ll be rushing right into a second one of these but I did learn a ton. Julie also brought a surprise for Riley, this adorable apron all cut out [...]

We headed down to the zoo today with some friends and had a blast. First time I have had 3 car seats in my truck. It worked out quite nicely. And someone was so tuckered out that I managed to get a blanket sewn up for a friend's new baby. I am loving how the turtles [...]

I had a purple quilt that my mom had made for me when I was little. It has seen better days, several spots were completely worn through. I picked up some purple fabric and did a patch job to extend its life a bit.Now we have a great blanket for playtime in the backyard.

I used up some scraps I had laying around and put together this little cloth jungle book. And of course I made some more soft blocks and a small ball for the trip.
