Cloth Diapers: Pt I: The Diapers

17 Dec

Liam waiting for a rare sunny day. A few people have asked me about my cloth diapering system and I figured I would post it here for easy access.   I'm going to divide it into three parts: Diapers, Cloth Wipes, & Washing. When I first started to cloth diaper Liam, I used about 6 different ... View Post

New Baby!

15 Dec

Yup, that's right!  I have a baby girl due in May! I've seriously been missing in action lately, and I have barely even been keeping up with my quilting bees, much less the blog.  On top of that, it's the holidays and Liam is also transitioning to one nap, so I feel like I barely have time to ...

1st Birthday Shirt

25 Aug

I-Spy Quilt

25 May

I put the "Geese in the Forest" Quilt aside for a tiny bit because I had an idea for an i-spy quilt running through my brain.  I have tons of novelty squares that I won from a giveaway on Megan's blog and I am supplementing with some of my own.  I will admit, most novelty prints are traditional and ...

Progress and Process

17 May

43 down, 57 to go! I am really loving how this quilt is turning out.  This was the first time I laid the blocks out and saw them all together.  I am not sure if I'll keep the Twiddletails "Geese in the Forest" layout, or just do my own.  I am thinking I may turn some of the blocks so that the geese ...
