Psst! Don’t forget that today’s the last day to vote for round two of Sew-vivor. My project is #4 the Seat Back Entertainment Organizer. Voting is open until midnight PST tonight. Connie from A Piecework Life received my name in The Covert Robin swap. She lives in Portland (love that city!) and is a quilter. Connie {…Continue Reading}
This was a BB (Before Blogging) project that I’ve been meaning to post about for some time, because I think it truly is a too cool t-shirt quilt. Most t-shirt quilts I’ve seen are 1. cut a uniform size, regardless of the design on the shirt, 2. backed with stiff interfacing, and 3. have sashing {…Continue Reading}
I whipped up this cute little valance for the nursery yesterday. I used the same quilt squares with the gathered centers as in the crib quilt here. I used all leftovers from the quilt and had to be pretty creative about getting enough eeked out of the scraps I had left. Just one little problem… one block {…Continue Reading}
I finally have the quilt finished for baby #2’s nursery! I’m really happy with how it’s turned out; I was a bit hesitant about the polka dot border but I do like it now that it’s all bound and quilted. I had a pretty good debate on how to quilt the border, but I decided {…Continue Reading}
I have the top of the quilt mostly done – just need to add the borders and then we’re on to quilting! I really love how this turned out. It’s not real obvious in the photo, but the center square of each block is gathered. It’s such a little detail in a simple design, but {…Continue Reading}
Today is my birthday – my daughter says “Happy Arden Day” instead of Happy Birthday, so I’m stealing it and calling it Happy Jenn Day to me! I’m 37 today, and I’ve decided that I don’t care if that number is larger than 29. I’d rather hope people think I look young for my age {…Continue Reading}
I’m so excited about the fabrics I got for the crib quilt I’m making for daughter #2! On top of that, I’m jazzed about the design I found. I was all set with a design I drew myself and had figured the yardage, but I fell in love with a sample quilt at the lovely quilt shop and {…Continue Reading}
Here’s a quickie table runner quilt I made for my Mom from the remnants of my 12 Days of Christmas tree skirt, plus a few more strips from the Moda jelly roll: Remember the tree skirt? After cutting my triangles, I was left with some pretty good-sized strips that I thought would be just right {…Continue Reading}
I had grand intentions of getting a nice new artificial tree this year, but I didn’t get myself into gear in time. So, I brought up the little pre-lit one my Mom had given us years ago, and set it on a little table that she had used as a little girl to keep it {…Continue Reading}
