I’m continuing to have a lot of fun with the Bloggers Block-A-Palooza. Yesterday the fourth block was posted on Cherry House Quilts Blog. I love the design she came up with and I had fun picking out my four fabrics. Here’s what I came up with: I combined batik’s with a commercial print to create […]
Fall in Love with Handmade – Trunk Show at the Glitter Workshop
Something truly amazing has happened today. My daughter Cedi wasn’t feeling well so instead of her and Capri going to Grandma’s for the day just Capri went and Cedi stayed home with me. Anyway – typically on my girl-free days I spend the day in my studio creating – that couldn’t happen with an under-the-weather […]
Project QUILTING – Zip City
Since I’ve taken myself out of prize winners I figured it’s okay to post my critiques before the public voting closes at 7pm tonight (don’t forget to VOTE and COMMENT so you can win too!) Judge 1: This piece is really fun. I don’t think it really matters how you hang this piece; it works […]
My almost Ballerina
Capri’s not quite old enough for ballet classes yet…but that doesn’t mean she can’t dress like one!
Quilter’s Block A-Palooza #3: Shoofly Geese
The third block for the Block A-Palooza was posted on Monday. On Tuesday, once I dropped the girls at the sitter I decided to piece the block. I’ve found it very therapeutic AND piecing is not an easy thing for me – I’m not super good at being precise so it’s been a good practice […]

Names, Names, It’s all about the Name!
This really doesn’t have to do with my quilting/crafting life but I need as much advice as I can get. Here’s the story: So, I’m at 28 weeks today and of course – we still don’t have a name (and as a disclaimer, when we do get a name it won’t be shared until after […]
Time to VOTE for Project QUILTING’s – What’s in a Name Challenge
I am so happy to see that the creativity in this challenge didn’t scare many away – and we even added some brand new quilters! I personally had a lot of fun developing and creating an idea from something as simple as ‘a cities name’. Now, us quilters, get a little break but we need […]
The Amazing Magical Castle!
This past Sunday, we went to IHOP to grab some delicious breakfast. I also had a few things I needed to get at Jo-Ann’s but of course, it wasn’t open yet. So, to waste an hour we decided to walk around Menards. Did you know that Menards has TONS of FREE things! We got light […]
