Ready or not

There is a pretty good chance I’m going to have the baby early, possibly today or tomorrow even. About a week ago my blood pressure spiked. It wasn’t so high to induce before I was full term, but it was high enough to have me work from home for the rest of the pregnancy. See […]

Think Spring table runners finished and for sale

I finished my Think Spring Table Runners. They are each made using a charm pack from the Moda Blush fabric line, so all the colors are matched by the fabric company to work together. There is one in red, pink and brown that I quilted with a stipple pattern. And the second is blue and […]

Well … it’ll fit next year

When I started Little Sister’s Dress a few months ago I planned to make it in the six months size, but I think Angela will be 18 months or maybe even two years old before she fills out the finished garment. And it will definitely be a tunic, not a dress. It’s the thought that counts […]

First baby quilt of 2012

It’s looking like 2012 might be the year of the baby quilt as well. Heck maybe my entire 20s will be the decade of the baby quilt since all my friends seem to be having kids one after the other and there doesn’t appear to be an end in sight. But I love working on […]
