$5 Friday—Handmade Baby Bibs {Quilt-as-you-go}

I am kind of addicted to the quilt-as-you-go method.  Thanks to whoever was the genius who figured it out....and thanks to all those who have posted tutorials on this simple quilting technique!  It's fast and easy and GREAT for little projects. A couple of friends in my neighborhood had babies recently and so I decided to use the quilt-as-you go technique on some baby bibs.  By the way, baby bibs were one of the first things I started making when I started sewing again 10 years ago and they ...

A Chevron Retro Travel Bag

liZ and I were talking the other day about how many "unfinished project" we have...and the list is getting long and sad.  We were joking that we need to lock ourselves in a room for 2 days to even catch up (which would be so fun, as long as there were plenty of snacks). So, I decided that I needed to do something about it. And first on the list was my Retro Travel Tote kit from Fabric Fest! (It was sitting there haunting me for over a month....) And yippeeeee, it's finally done!!! The ... View the Post
