Have you ever made a quilt and then thought to yourself “Oh boy…what was I thinking???” Welcome to my world. Today I decided to quilt a top that’s been laying around for 2 or 3 years {don’t judge}. But…I’m not really sure why I ever made it. I affectionately nick named this beauty Mr. Fugly …
I’m excited to announce I have finally finished all of my step mom’s quilts! Can you see me doing my happy dance??? I hope not because I’m a terrible dancer! I finished hand stitching the binding on the Pink Beast today! Here are a couple pictures of the finished quilt. I decided to use the …
I’m excited to announce that I have finally finished all the quilts for my step mom. Woohoo! What a relief. In reality I still have to bind the Pink Beast but I’m hoping to have that finished within the next couple of days. Here’s a look at number 5 otherwise known as Parker’s Quilt. I’m …

After all, I do have a lot of information and quilty goodness that I want to share. Let’s start with some pictures …
Yippee! I’m so excited I finally finished quilting the pink beast! Well…maybe. I think I have to do a little more quilting tomorrow morning. I’m not sure I would be happy with it if I pull it off the racks without doing a little stitching inside the embroidered maple leaves. It’s a little too wrinkled …
Day 2 of spring break brings about a thread emergency! I planned on quilting today but I think my plans are quickly changing. I have a quilt loaded and ready to go and guess what…not enough thread to finish it. I found what I need online so I’ll be placing an order today. Hopefully it …
