I’m a big fan of Thanksgiving. I think the Thankgiving meal is one of the best, and in fact, I’ve been trying to eat a combination of those foods as often as possible during the last couple weeks (yesterday’s lunch was a turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce, and then dinner was a pre-Thanksgiving trial run, [...]
I should be working on gifts, but instead I’ve been busy making bags. I sell a few items at a local shop and with the holidays approaching, it was time to provide them with a bit more variety. I finished these four market bags over the weekend and have a few more cut out in [...]

Hi! I just discovered your blog tonight and what a lucky duck I am! Absolutely fantastic quilt ideas! I was planning on knitting some variegated bowls to felt for holiday gifts but oh my gosh I’m running out to buy [...]
I finished the binding on this quilt last night and immediately threw it in the wash to let it get nice and soft and crinkly (to be honest, I also wanted a toasty, fresh out of the dryer quilt to lay under while watching Thursday night tv!)
I love the modern, simple look of this one. [...]
Thanks for all the comments on my giveaway post! It sounds like there are some great homemade/handmade gifts in the works for this year. I don’t think anyone mentioned napkins, so I thought I’d provide you with another gift idea. These napkins make great gifts, or are also perfect as hostess gifts, or work quite [...]
So, I made it to 100 posts… er, actually 101, but who’s counting?! When I first started this blog back in June, I never though I’d make it a month, let alone nearly 6 months! Thank you to everyone who’s visited, commented, provided suggestions & inspiration, and taught me new techniques. I truly enjoy hearing [...]
I’m working my way through my bag of scraps, though this may be the last one for a while - I’m getting a little tired of these same fabrics! I guess I need to start some other projects in order to create some new scraps…
This quilt is very simple - I had in mind a [...]
This project was really quite quick, but might also make a great gift, especially if paired with those potholders from the other day!
I’ve been trying to use up some of my small scraps, since it’s been getting a little out of hand! Like many others, I have a hard time throwing away fabric, even the [...]
but unfortunately, not big enough. It seems like I’ve been working on this quilt for quite some time now, and it seems as though I’ve cut about a million rectangles, but it still turns out that it’s not queen sized! How is that possible?!
Ok, I haven’t really been working on this forever, since for the [...]
Not a quilt this time, but quilty nonetheless!
We’ve been using some very old potholders for a long time now. In reality, they were never meant to be potholders. They were actually used as examples of quilts you could order from a local store. While they did have batting between two pieces of fabric, they really [...]
