Did you know people still do quilt bees? No? Me neither. I don’t know about you, but I certainly had a misconception about quilting bees. The imagery in my head immediately goes to a group of elderly ladies with needle and thread sitting in a circle in a church basement. They’re having a great time […]
These are half square triangles, all squared up and ready to be made in to something lovely. What will they become, oh what will they become?
Phew! This project has been hanging around for way, way, way too long. I’ve been working on it little by little and it was my goal last week for Amy’s one thing, one week challenge. And guess what? Success! The baby for whom this carrier is intended was born way, way back in September and […]

One section is the “Blogger’s Choice Fat Quarter Bundle,” which feature coordinating print and […]
Here I am, barely a single step down the path toward being a business owner, but I had to start somewhere, right? A company needs a name, so that would be a good place to start. Back when I thought I was going to go into business making mei tais, my hypothetical company name was […]
I’m not usually one for making New Years Resolutions. I sort of feel like if you want to make a change, you should just get started. Why wait until tomorrow or the beginning of next week, or the New Year? Just get going! Start now. This year, however, one of my primary goals seems to […]
