I Came Home to Pure Goodness!

Good Thing #1: My ALQS2 Quilt Came from my partner, Susan. I LOVE it! It's a mixture of batiks and other fun, bright fabrics...Isn't it awesome? I can't wait to find the right spot for it!

Good Thing #2: Susan sent an adorable pin cushion and some green & blue fabric squares along with the quilt. Bonus!

Good thing #3: My husband was cooking dinner when I walked through the door. Doesn't he look cute standing over the stove?

After our UTTERLY BIZARRE* day yesterday, today was filled with PURE GOODNESS!

* A long story about a bite of chicken, the VA Medical Center, and a 500 mile trip to Little Rock...all for naught.

Another Little Quilt Swap

My quilt has been received by Amy - Glad you like it, Amy!

An Ode to Cold & Allergy Season

My friend brought me a tissue box holder from New York City this past year, so since I've used around 9,572 kleenexes in the past 2 days, I decided to try to copy the design so that I could have one for my office too. My pattern making skills weren't perfect, and some of my seams are a little wonky, but I think if I tried for round 2, it would come out even better.


And bonus...mine is reversible!



On the potty training front...Brody has learned to ring a bell to let us know he needs to go outside. So far it has mostly worked. Definitely an improvement.

Another Little Quilt Swap - Preview!

Finished! I just finished my quilt for Another Little Quilt Swap. Here is a preview...I've covered the center section which contains some embroidery work specific to my partner. So...until s/he receives it, this is all you get to see! I'm really pleased with it...I hope s/he is too!

Want to win a quilt?

"Pigtails & Snails" is giving this FABULOUS quilt away. Want to win it? I do!

If I've been MIA lately, there's someone to blame...

his name is Brody McScruff. And quilting has taken a backseat to him...at least until he stops peeing on everything. But who could be mad at this guy?

Ranch Quilt

My grandfather's house burned down in January, and his new house was just finished. So...I decided to start on a quilt to give him for Christmas, and the Chinese coin pattern came together rather quickly. Yeah for easy patterns! Here is the top...with some ranch-y fabric touches (he lives on a ranch). I now have it basted and ready to quilt...I just need to psych myself up for that part!
