Today I’ll be at the #G.L.A.M. Small Vendor Expo at the Scott Event Center in Scott, LA. Fun fact – G.L.A.M. stands for greater Lafayette area moms! In addition to by-the-yard fabric, precuts, and quilt kits, I’m selling these gorgeous zipper pouches. I am in love with these! If you’d like to make them, the … More #G.L.A.M.

I fell in love with a bundle of solid fabrics and desperately wanted a small project I could finish quickly to showcase the fabrics. I used a pattern called ‘Charming Chevron’ by Karen Lewis from issue 43 of Love of Quilting and Patchwork. I’ve had the magazine for awhile, but finally got around to trying … More Quilted Pillow
Are you one of those people who slows down and checks out stuff other people leave on the curb, hoping to find a treasure? I’ll admit, I like to take a look, but my husband, on the other hand, has no problem bringing things home to restore or repair. Of course, he usually has a … More Curbside Chair Repair
My husband determined our 16 month old needed a teepee for his room. I wasn’t so sure, but he was persistent. I had to wonder, who was the teepee actually for, my son or husband? If you’ve looked at teepees for a child’s room, you’ll notice they can cost $100 – $200 dollars. That’s well … More A Teepee for Grayson

Finally!! This is the last block on the Bella Skill Builder quilt along. Block Number 9 is called Lazy Angles. After completing 8 other blocks, I’d finally reached the last one! I was pretty upset to find out that the last block required a special ruler and no template was provided for those who didn’t … More Lazy Angles
Block Number 8 of the Bella Skill Builder quilt along was this beautiful Starburst Block. I love this Block because it incorporates all the colors of the quilt into one block. Construction on this one wasn’t bad. I used the template provided because I didn’t have the special ruler they used. Although I am not … More Starburst Block
My husband’s godchild recently received one of the popular 18 inch dolls for her birthday. When it was time to make our Christmas list, I had a pretty good feeling she would appreciate a dress for her new doll. It has been years since I did any garment or pattern sewing, so at first I … More 18 Inch Doll Dress
I’ve been furiously trying to complete the blocks on the Bella Skill Builder quilt along. Block Number 7 called Half Square Triangle & Quarter Square Triangle is done! I’ve worked with half square triangles before, so I was very comfortable sewing this block. I used the “create 8 at a time” method for HST and … More Half Square Triangles and Quarter Square Triangles
