Today we get to share in a Birthday party with our friend Amber of Crazy Little Projects. You should see all the darling birthday ideas that are being shared.....be sure to head over there and pin some for your next party. And today I am sharing my Birthday cake quilt.

So, I started with one block. And now I think I am ... View the Post

I think I have mentioned before, but we are "in between" houses right now....we are a couple of weeks out of moving into our new house (due to some construction) and so we are living out of suitcases at my parents' house who were gracious enough to take in 5 more people.

So when she asked that we make our favorite block, I decided that because I am so new to quilting that whatever block I am working on is on is usually my favorite! I think that is the way it will be for awhile.....until I ... View the Post
V is for…..Violet and Vintage.
Today we get to participate in No Big Dill's Sew all 26 letters series, and it has been so fun to see what everyone has been making. She has a couple of guest posters a week and then she is sewing all 26 letters of the alphabet. Did you see her P is for Paper Dress?.....wowza. It is gorgeous and really is made out of real paper. Katy really is a master of the sewing universe.... This week she is on V and what is better for V than VIOLET AND VINTAGE PATTERNS..... I started with this beauty ... View the Post
