Ever since I made our king bed's rag quilt, I have wanted to sew some pillow shams for it. Finally after sewing my ruffle shower curtain, I had my sewing machine out and decided to just quickly do them! Sometimes pulling the machine and supplies out can be the hardest obstacle in creating a project with three little ones around. Can you relate? I picked two fabrics that I wanted to use for my shames, and I used a king pillow case as a template for their size. I cut the front fabric the Continue Reading
DIY King Size Rag Quilt {Repost}
At the beginning of each new year, Matt and I go on a date to reflect on the past year and share goals for things we want to accomplish in the coming year.

In that spirit, I decided to repost my favorite post (with some fresh edits and condensed content) from 2012 - my DIY King Size Rag Quilt. Enjoy! My bed needed a makeover. Continue Reading

I really wanted a colorful, anthropology type quilt. Every quilt I looked at online (and really liked) was easily over Continue Reading
I think I may have misled you (part 2)
Ever since I made Reagan's baby quilt over a year ago, Caleb has been asking for me to make him a quilt. So, I thought his birthday was a good time to do it. He went with me to pick out the fabric, and you know he had a blast with it! He got so excited with every fabric. There is two toy story fabrics in the mix. One pattern I thought was "too big" for my size squares, so I was trying to encourage him away from it. He had to have it because it had ONLY Buzz on it. Buzz needed his own Continue Reading
