I’ve been knitting so much lately, it’s time to shift gears just a bit and be somewhat more well-rounded, don’t you think? Time to finish some of those languishing quilts!

The first of two
Aidan’s quilt top is finished. I put it on his bed to get an idea how it will look in his room. None of the fabrics are pre-washed, so it is likely to shrink and get that delightfully-crinkly look, assuming I manage to quilt it well.

I was tempted to show you my experiments with my new macro doohickeys, or tell you about my new 365 Project for 2011, but I could feel the collective eye-rolling from those of you who really don’t care about photography. I always get a little twitchy when I post too many times in a row […]

Well, I did it. I bound my first quilt. Well, actually it’s my third quilt, but it’s the first one with a binding. You know what I mean. I’m typing under the influence of decongestants, so I really can’t be held responsible for the clarity or eloquence (or lack thereof) of my words. It’s never […]

It seems to me, if a girl is going to have to get by on five hours of sleep, and if she also has a scratchy throat and can feel the congestion building in her head by the minute, then she might be tempted to spend as much time as possible sitting in a cozy […]

Nearly fourteen months ago, I went insane and splurged on an Amy Butler Lotus fat quarter set, despite the fact that I’d only had 90 days of sewing under my belt, and the 3-4 quilts I intended to make comprised a project well beyond my comfort level. I managed to stitch together two quilt tops […]
