It’s My Turn!
June is my month to send off fabrics and have quilt blocks sewn for me at the Fresh Comfort Virtual Quilting Bee. I chose Monaluna Chickens for Robert Kaufman as the main fabric and asked for the other quilters to fussy cut the chickens and feature them somehow. Everything else about the blocks, I’m leaving…
May Quilt Blocks for the Fresh Comfort Quilting Bee
Carrie asked for 3″, 6″, 9″ and 12″ blocky squares this month. She wanted traditional as well as wonky blocks. I had a lot of fun with this one! The block above is a 9″ wonky bento box block. The ones below are 6″ and 3″ improvisational blocks. (That blue, green and purple stripe fabric…

Little Folks Tunic
The finalists for Spring Top Week are posted at Made by Rae, and they are amazing! I love all the ruffles and gathers. Obviously I didn’t finish this tunic in time for the contest, but I did finish it! That’s at least a start, right? The pattern is Kwik Sew 3162 and the fabric is…
Eliott Elephant Little One Layette Modeled!
I do realize that I missed the whole entry period for the Rae’s Spring Top Week. It’s a little sad that I didn’t get to enter a top, but this little guy has been keeping me very busy, and who could look into those beautiful blue eyes and complain? I do, actually, have the tunic…
Ladybug Diaper Bag #2
My friend, Michelle, is a week overdue with a new little one. I promised her a diaper bag like the one that I made for us, but with a new little one of my own, it’s taken me a bit to get it finished. Michelle let me pick out the fabrics, so I really hope…
Fresh Comfort Quilt Blocks for April
I am really enjoying the Fresh Comfort Virtual Quilting Bee. Each month I get to learn a new technique or try out a new idea for a quilt block! This month, Tacey asked us to do Opposites Attract blocks for her quilt. The idea of this block is to pair a busy pieced area with…
Little Lambs Diaper Shower Set
The double baby shower was last night, so I can post the set that I made for the second mom now. Oh, and I happened to hear that she did read my blog post about the first mom’s set and almost convinced herself not to scroll down and see if hers was posted, too. Hee-hee…
