My “maternity leave” is almost up, and the picture above is a pretty accurate one when it comes to the reality of our lives for the past few months. At first, Josh and I thought we hit the jackpot. Our baby boy Jude didn’t cry and he put himself to sleep. But each day that [...]

The past four months of my pregnancy have been difficult. When I was pregnant with Monet, despite the morning sickness at the beginning, life went on as usual those last 5-6 months. Everyday I walked to and from work 3 miles, I was energetic, and ready to take on the world. I felt like a [...]

For the longest time, the idea of sewing clothes intimidated me. It all started the day I accidentally pinned my 9 month old daughter while I was trying to alter a dress that I had made for her. Ever since, making a quilt has honestly seemed easier. In preparation for Baby Jude’s arrival, the cold [...]

Three years ago, I truly enjoyed making a Charley Harper Applique Embroidery Quilt for my daughter Monet. It was my first quilt, and so I think it will always be my favorite, as this is when I discovered and feel in love with the process of quilting. (You can find the pattern for sale here.) [...]

Instead of buying new all the time, throwing out the old or the broken, try fixing things instead. Last April, I participated in an event called, April Stash Bust. The idea behind this event was to use what you had, instead of buying new, for the entire month of April, in honor of Earth Day. [...]

Something is in the water –it seems everyone I know is getting pregnant, or trying to get pregnant. Oh, how I wish I could make a blanket for all of them. And while that’s unfortunately not possible, I must say all these unborn babies have inspired me to start considering a line of quilts just [...]

I’ve been toying with the idea of making a series of simple patchwork quilts for babies, both for my Etsy shop and for the upcoming Beehive Bazaar. The idea would be to keep them simple, sweet, and affordable. Due to time and materials, a quilt like this would run around $100. I’m still undecided whether [...]
