i went through my quilting phase last year right before chicken nugget was born.
let's just say it was short lived.
i realized i have no patience for ornate designs. i hate cutting and measuring. i like to do things by eye. and if i must, i will only measure once and cut once. who has time for measuring twice, anyway?!?! there are toilet bowls to be cleaned and children to be fed!
i made a quilt for dd and a matching pillowcase.
i also made a quilt, matching burp clothes, and onsies for another friend with a newborn. just need to get around to finishing hers. i'm such a slacker.
one of my favorite places to visit (besides wegmans, tj's, thrift shops, and candyland) is pennington quilt works. the website doesn't give the shop enough credit. it is a fabric addict's dream!!

| this laminated cotton (much nicer than oilcloth) will be turned into a table protector for dd's arts and crafts. |
 |
| ahhhhh. amy butler. love her. |
(i asked hubby what he thought about wallpaper. telling by his response, i will be putting up wallpaper by myself.)
 |
| they have pre-cut fat quarters all over the store. |
 |
| such cute projects. |
 |
| displays of their work are all over the store. love this quilt! |
 |
| glad he's too young to whine about going to the quilt shop. my time will come, i know;( |
every time i go to pennington quilt works i get the sewing bug. maybe before i start another project, i should finish some of the ones i started. last year.
sigh.
do you have a stash of some sort of craft you do? knitting, scrapbooking...
when i have a free moment, i'll put up a tutorial on a simple, one day sewing project.
stay posted!!
thanks for stopping by,
jill
