I love quilts. I always have. Even as I'm writing this I am snuggled under a quilt made by my mother-in-law. If you were to come into my home right now you'd find it littered with handmade blankets....they are on my children's beds, on my bed, thrown over chairs, left on couches, filling my closets...and they range from no sew fleece blankets to pieced and hand quilted heirlooms. And I love every single one of them! I think it may have something to do with being raised by a mother ... View the Post
Stocking Stuffers for the Sew-er (all under $20)
This post is for you....well, not really, it's really for your husband. And my husband. And liZ's husband.

But around this time of year we notice (to put it delicately) that we aren't as well off financially as we would have been if we had chosen other career paths. And that makes it difficult to buy gifts for others. Which means year after year we make a pact with each other not to spend any money on ... View the Post

The Nightmare Before Christmas Sally Inspired Dress
So, yes I realize it is December 3rd and that I am writing about Grace's Halloween costume. I am doing it for two reasons. #1. I never shared it at Halloween time and #2.

This dress was a lot of fun to make. I cut out the simple pattern pieces and drew on the front panel with a sharpie. Then I turned Grace loose with ... View the Post
