Who Knew?

So I really had no idea that when preschool started the rest of my life would be on hold for awhile. 2 days a week of school with lots of shuttling back and forth, and 2 other days of therapy - speech and OT. I'm barely at home these days, and since the little one doesn't nap too much, I'm never alone. My poor sewing machine feels very neglected.


In the past month (and a half!!) since I've last written, I've completed 1 project, and it was already pieced way back here. Regardless, I'm completely in love with this quilt and very proud of it. Yes it's simple, but it turned out really cool and it just may be my favorite one that I've made so far.


I love the minky back, it is so soft and warm! I was afraid to quilt with minky, but it honestly wasn't that bad. I loaded it up with spray baste, and I didn't have any problems with shifting or stretching.


In other news, I had closed down the etsy shop until I could get myself back into a routine, and I think we're almost there. I'm planning on opening the shop back up sometime this week when I can get a few minutes at my computer without anyone jumping on my lap. So look for it, and for a giveaway to go along with the re-opening!



Thanks for stopping by, I hope everyone has been enjoying their fall and is looking forward to the holiday season. Cheers!

  1. I love simple quilts like this, great job. I hope you get to sew with the guild next week. I sewed yesterday for the first time in a while and it felt great. Here's hoping your schedule gets under control!

  2. The quilt looks great. I love simple squares like that. I have a quilt I have been wanting to make for a year now that is just 4" squares. It is nice to know the quilting went well with the minky. I will have to give it a try next time I use it.

  5. Yay! As another mama struggling for quilting time I am extra happy for you. The pieced binding is really charming and I'm glad to hear Minky backs are doable! I hope to see it in person of course!
