Maybe this is my fourth or fifth patchwork quilt made from vintage sheets? Either way, I’m growing more and more fond of vintage items. Last night I went and picked up some old vintage French doors with perfectly divided window panes. I’m still not sure where we can use them in our home, but I’m… Read More
I recently had a few fellow Instagram friends (who also happen to be moms) ask me how I find so much time to sew. They mentioned how I get SO MUCH DONE while staying home full-time with three little boys. The truth is, friends, I don’t spend a lot of time sewing, and I really… Read More

My little guy, Miles, is almost four months, and I just finished up his little gauze quilt. I learned a lot using gauze on both sides with wool batting in the middle. This was also my very first attempt at hand quilting! I love having a few projects to do from my rocking chair in the living room (instead of always needing to be near my sewing machine.)
Are you a neutral loving gal? Or, do you lean toward a bit of color? I go back and forth, but I almost always find myself drawn to a bit of color. But not too much color. And very little primary color. I want every color softened a bit. You don’t find much red, royal… Read More
