even more heather

I love the Buggy for Heather Ross pool on Flickr, so many lovely things using Heather’s lovely fabrics. Sure, it does make me think, oh now I need this fabric, or that one, or that one! A never ending quest…

crazy for heather

I made this quilt top yesterday, it’s about 20″ square and it’s intended for a Heather Ross quilt swap over on Flickr. I found out about the quilt through this group. A truly wonderful group that really fuels your fabric buying and swapping frenzy. I’ve been swapping left and right since I joined for a [...]

every day in may – 7,8

I’m starting to fall of the every day bandwagon here. But trust me, I am making something everyday. I finished the doll yesterday and made her an undersuit. Today, it’s a dress. Tonight, I traced and cut some fabrics to make Abby’s summer clothes.
And here’s my upcoming plans for the month: two or three pillows, [...]

quilt month 5: another first and some more

This is the first quilt I owned, Abby’s baby quilt. It’s one of my first Etsy purchases from Kelly. I spent a lot of time browsing to find the perfect quilt, not too boyish and not too girlish. This is just perfect. And how can you not love the combination of pinwheels and Denyse Schmidt? [...]

quilt month 1: japanese quilt book

Sorry for the lack of blogging, folks. I’ve been busy knitting and calling all the brokers, agents, inspectors, and everyone house related. Meanwhile, it’s quilting month over at Josie’s and I’m joining in on the fun. This is a new old book acquired from Sally’s tag sale. She’s moving to Korea (lucky her!) and destashing [...]

at least I got something done

I finished this yesterday, Baby Shrug pattern from Simply Baby. It has been hibernating on the bottom of my knitting basket for, oh, maybe a year or so. I started knitting this before Abby was born. I don’t even remember what the name of the yarn is. I’m sure that it’s from Lana Grossa, and [...]
