Doll Quilt Swap  is always so much fun.  It's one of the biggest swaps on flickr and I always loved being challenged to try something new and please my partner.

Christmas in July!!??

13 Jul

Did I scare you yet?  No, no, I promise I'm not doing Christmas projects yet (though Michael's seems to think I SHOULD be).  I am simply VERY delinquent on my blog posts.  I whipped up these bad boys about 2 days before Christmas, when I realized that my children were going to have to use the cats' ...

November Update

I'm still here...on the couch...with the baby asleep on me, or nursing.  SOMEDAY I will get back to sewing, but until then, I can dream! And thank God I can use my laptop to read tons of marvelous blogs by fabulous quilters and peruse Etsy for new fabrics while Liam sleeps on me. I did do a swap ... View Post
