My girls love flannel. A lot. They have flannel blankets, flannel sheets, and flannel pajamas. In fact Ruth (my 3 year old) even has her own little trunk full of flannel...pink cuts of flannel fabric pieces. And so I was thinking there has to be a way to let my girls wear the kind of fabric that they love....which is perfect to keep them toasty warm during the winter...but not have them look like they are wearing pajamas. So I tried a few things and I think I found my favorite way: ... View the Post

A Churndash Quilt Block–the easy way.
Both liZ and I have been fans of the Accuquilt products for awhile. They are simple to use and make fabric cutting a cinch and even my kids have gotten into the Go! Baby Accuquilt cutter that we received a couple of years ago. I have used it often for sewing and felt projects (I love this flower project for May Day) and we have also used it for many a school project too. So when Accuquilt asked us if we'd like to be involved in their new GO! Big Blog Hop---I jumped at the chance, because I ... View the Post

Think Big Pillow
When liZ and I have met up with Amy Ellis the last two times it has been on an airplane...and it really is a wonder that she still wants to hang out with me. For real. I am THE most nervous Nelly flier that you will ever meet. And both Amy and liZ can attest to it. I make liZ (and everyone around me) nervous on airplanes....it's a real problem.
