Oneday Monday: Wristlets

26 Apr

Baby Quilt progress

Here is the aqua, blue and green baby quilt I am working on.  I used a pattern that Oh Fransson sells at her etsy shop and I guiltily used a lot of the same fabrics that she used in her quilt.

Vintage Bed Linen Quilt

23 May

Do you remember that stash of vintage bed linens that I purchased off Etsy awhile ago? Well, I found the perfect project for them!  Oh Fransson was teaching a quilt along on her blog and I was inspired to make a scrappy version of the quilt she was demonstrating. This was only my second quilt (I ... View Post
