Hello World

Mom, look at what I can do!

Pins n Things

Why shouldn't I be making such great progress? I've got a super helper who is learning some valuable life skills this week.

All Natural

I've been working like crazy, and I've already finished my quilt top! Of course, I can't show it to you yet, that would ruin the surprise. So now I'm ready to make my quilt sandwich, and I found this great new batting at the store. It's 50% cotton, 50% bamboo. I'm really excited because I've read so much about what a great textile bamboo is- especially it's natural antibacterial qualities- and people are raving about this batting for machine quilting. It's so soft- I just want to roll myself up inside. It seems like a shame to hide it in the middle of the quilt!

Inspiration

I suddenly got inspired to start a new quilt. I haven't done a quilt since Trevor was a baby, so I'm probably rusty. This book has some really beautiful contemporary quilt patterns. Watch out! I'm going to be a quilting maniac for the next couple of weeks!
