Two Tiny Dresses

20 Jul

Emmeline's first birthday was coming up, and every little girl needs special dresses for her special day! I've been making clothing long before I ever began quilting, but for adults, not toddlers.  It's pretty much the same, just tiny (less fabric, yay!)  and kids are an easier fit. I adore Oliver ...

Fairy Tale Quilt DONE!

17 Mar

The quilt for the baby is done and I am really excited with how it turned out: I have to say, I think this is my very favorite quilt out of all the quilts I have made (which really isn't THAT many).

I decided to do wonky improv blocks and ... View Post

Adventure in the OC

15 Mar

JD has a week off before he begins his new job, so while he watched Liam for the day, Alison and I took a trip down to the OC for some fabric shopping before I move away.  We stopped at M&L Fabrics in Anaheim first. I have never been there and it is a quilter's heaven! Most of the fabrics are a ... View Post
