If I weren't pregnant, I'd pop some champagne because the Four by Four quilt is almost DONE! 🙂 The only thing left to do is the arduous task of hand stitching the binding in the back. And, of course, a run through the washer. (I can't believe how badly I want to wash this quilt!)

Now was time for the long sashes. Well, you know how they always say, "Measure twice, cut once?" Well... I was over halfway through … Continue reading Things Were Good…Until They Were Not!
Artsy-Fartsy
I mentioned a few days ago I usually like to make more freestyle, artsy quilts. I was working on one a few months back, and thought I'd share. The only thing left to do with it is add some binding, but I lost interest, so it's now just sitting on a shelf in my craft … Continue reading Artsy-Fartsy

After dipping my toes back into the water with those small barrette projects, I've decided to dive right back in. This week I started two fairly time-consuming projects. The first, something I've never attempted--I full sized (okay, baby sized) quilt. This is the largest quilting job I've taken on, and my first that involves actual … Continue reading Four by Four WIP
