After the trip to Seattle, the guilt overcame me & I got caught up on my bee blocks thru August.
For PTQB, Katie sent vintage sheets, a solid, and the Amy Butler rose buds, requesting blocks similar to Oh Frannson!’s Mod Sample Quiltalong.

Also PTQB, Jody requested Drunk Love blocks to be made into a quilt for [...]

My newest BFF Jacqueline came to visit late Saturday night.  She wasn’t my BFF on Saturday night…but Sunday morning, she was all about being my BFF.  I was greeted heartily in the morning: “Michelle!”  And then she points to the non-scaredy cat Sylvester: “Tat”  (and also “Titty” – which makes me giggle).
So where does a [...]

To say that Steve and I can be delinquent in keeping up with old friends would be an understatement.  But we do at least try to send Christmas cards, etc. to people.  Or to randomly show up @ weddings, like Steve did last year at our friend Shea’s wedding in Chicago (apparently Meghan(bride) didn’t get the [...]

Oh my goodness, I just had to post this picture as soon as I saw it. This is an updated picture of Leah, my friend Miranda’s baby. I’m in process of making quilts for Leah and big sis Jacqueline.Isn’t she the sweetest baby, in her cute lil Pooh outfit?? She’s laying on [...]

So after not completing ANY projects in the month of January, I’m finally on my way to getting some of these things off my plate.
First up, the B&W couch quillow. This is how it looks all pillowed-up; it’s very small (11×12, I think), which makes sense, since the quilt is only a yard of fabric [...]

So I decided to venture over to Santa Monica’s Sewing Arts Center because I needed thread during Thursday’s lunch break. While there, I had a chat with a lady about the disaster quilt, and she seemed pretty convinced the thrifted sheet was a BAD idea for the backing.

dimensions approximately 37″ x 44″

Since I don’t think [...]

No…that’s not a typo in the title… Kyle and his mom Elizabeth were baptized this morning…but according to their cake, they were batized:
So I’m mildly concerned about the degeneration of society…if they failed to properly read Elizabeth’s perfect “kindergarten” handwriting, I’m much more concerned about other things…
The baptism itself was also entertaining… prior to that [...]

I followed the tutorial at Crazy Mom Quilts very loosely for this bib. By loosely, I mean that I didn’t realize I should have just stippled the pieces in recentangle format, then cut out of the pattern. I, of course, did it the hard way – cut the pieces of the pattern, then stippled. And [...]

I’ve been busy with these:Stuff for Baby Girl Rademacher (clockwise from top left):1) shaggy quilt (which I didn’t really have fun making, I may not do this again);2) girly tote w/helicopters, airplanes, rockets (Branden is getting his PhD in Aerospace engineering, and complains its hard to find girly things w/airplanes on them – so I [...]

So I don’t quite remember how I stumbled upon it, but I entered a contest for a baby gift set from the Whimsical Stork. But anywho, I won a gift set! Which is awesome, because its nice to have something to give that I don’t have to make… I make for those whom I know [...]
