I finally finished the rag quilt for my bed!!! I am so proud of this project!! It is by far the biggest thing I have ever sewn! You might remember Caleb's rag quilt I made for his birthday in March.

I really wanted a colorful, anthropology type quilt. Every quilt I looked at online (and really liked) was easily over Continue Reading

I feel like an atmosphere to fester creativity has to be born with the inspiration being Continue Reading

He now had two beautiful boys! The bottom picture is his first time holding Reagan. His little girl. She had his Continue Reading
