Our last task was to clean off our main work surfaces, and altho I struggled to get this one done on time, I did manage to do it. Here’s the state of my cutting table this morning. Two projects on top! Pay no never mind to the piles stacked in other places. But I did […]

It’s no secret that scrap quilts are my favorites! It’s also no secret that I save every little teeny tiny scrap imaginable, because I’m certain I’ll be able to use them! Altho I haven’t posted about scraps for awhile, I’m planning to continue adding to my Stash Tales series this year. You can catch up […]

Since I made the elephant quilt for that special little girl to keep at her grandma’s house, I also needed to make her one for her own house. I heard through the grapevine that her mama wanted a sheep theme in the nursery, and I was in love with this pattern, so it was the […]
