It’s Also the 8th Planet

I’ve been admiring Tula Pink’s Neptune line for awhile, but had never purchased any.  I recently saw a really pretty Neptune pattern in August’s American Patchwork and Quilting, and decided it’d make a great Christmas present for a certain somebody.  Apparantly a lot of people thought the same thing because all of a sudden, it’s a bit harder to get ahold [...]

T-Shirt Quilt

I’ve started on my first t-shirt quilt.  One part experimentation, two parts google, and I think it’s coming along pretty well.  I don’t know if it’s my love of quilting, or the fact that I’m a neat freak, but it really warms my heart that this…

can turn into this…
Whoever came up with this t-shirt quilt idea was probably a woman [...]

Been There, Done That

We’re thinking about taking a couple day road trip up to Cincinnati soon to catch a Reds game.  If anyone knows anything fun to do/see that we could catch on the way or way back to Memphis, please let me know.  We wouldn’t mind adding a day and taking a scenic detour for something fun to add to [...]

Sheri Berry

Sorry for the lack of posting lately.  Things have been interesting around here, to say the least.  There hasn’t been a whole lot of crafting going on, but I did decide on what to do with the Sheri Berry Christmas fabric, and now I can finally do that giveaway. 
The name I drew out of the hat for this one, [...]

On To Christmas

There will be no more ghosts haunting my house.  It seems odd that it’s only July, and I’m moving on from Halloween to start on Christmas.  I finished all my blocks for Jane’s Spooktacular Hallween Swap, and not a moment too soon.  While finishing up the one project, about 6 more somehow got added to my [...]

The Idea Book

I’ve been seeing this book around many different blogs lately.  It’s supposedly all the rage, and for good reason.  Look at some of the adorable projects inside…

The problem, as you might have guessed, is that the entire book is written in Japanese.  Which I don’t read.  That’s why I’ve named it the Idea Book, because [...]

Michael Miller Giveaway

For the Michael Miller christmas fabric I got, I decided to do a zig-zag quilt.  And I might even do it in the Old Red Barn Co zig-zag quilt along.  I just don’t know if I’m daring enough to do it with HST’s, or go around it a different way.  Anyway, as promised, I’m going [...]

Celebrating Baby

A couple weeks ago, we had a baby shower for my SIL.  And not a moment too soon because she delivered 2 days after the shower, about 3 weeks early.  Mom and baby are great!!  Here’s the diaper cake we made, and the baby monkey Lady_Belle made.

This was the great diaper bag that Cathy made for [...]

More Ghosty Blocks

I’m having so much fun making these ghost blocks for Jane’s Spooktacular Halloween Swap.  I didn’t know applique would be so fun. 
This one I call: Haunted Log Cabin

And here’s Herbert in a gravesite scene…

I can’t decide which mouth I like better.  Smiling or spooky?  Thanks Jane for putting on this swap, I’m having so much [...]

I Have the Bestest Mom in All the World

I already knew I had the sweetest Mom in the whole world, but this totally proves it.  She was sad that I didn’t ever get anything from my partner for the coaster swap, so she mailed me a coaster care package!  Yes, we live in the same town, but she still mailed it to me.  [...]
