Local Notions

This quilted taught me that, even though I majored in Accounting, I still can’t quite do math. Believe it or not, I cut every piece of this quilt twice and still followed through, although I wanted to bunch it up and put it away a few times. In the end, it was worth the headache! It’s wrapped and ready to go to a very special friend and her fiancé for their wedding day 🤫

Gifted this baby blanket this weekend! I think this is the first quilt I’ve made that I like up close better than far away. I’m obsessed with the blueberry fabric!

This project came to me as twenty pieced squares, and they were the perfect fit for my goal of finishing projects this year. A sweet lady was moving and getting rid of all her crafting supplies and materials. She took them to the dump (including these squares), but the guy working at the dump knew that my mom and I would use them. Over the last few months, bags and boxes of supplies have shown up on my mom’s porch. As a thank you to her for gifting us so many supplies, I finished the quilt she started and it’s heading to her new home today. 💙

My goal for 2025 was to complete projects that had been started, regardless of who they had been started by. I found a quilt kit started by my late grandmother and a feed sack top pieced by my late great grandmother. I got the privilege of finishing those quilts and giving them to my family. So this Mothers’ Day, my mom and aunt got a quilt from their mother and my grandfather got a quilt from his mother. 🌷

I finally got to send this baby quilt to its forever home today!

First commissioned amigurumi complete! This bananasaurus was so much fun to make and so easy thanks to the pattern by .

This quilt started as a stash-buster and ended up being my favorite one I’ve ever made. 🤩

It will never be easy to photograph a quilt 😅

Added a little color to the living room with a modern quilted wall hanging

Less than one week until Craft Fest kicks off! Come hang out, learn a new craft, and support some local Charlotte makers. 🤍

Come see me at CRAFT Fest 2023! I’ve been working on some new projects and can’t wait to show them off. The festival will have lots of vendors, a craft show, and some demonstrations. Let’s have some fun!

Tony gets all my prototypes! This is the first dog bed I made and I definitely think I’ll make more. It’s a great way to try a new quilt block and use up fabric and batting scraps.
