This is my first “quilt-along” and I’m so excited. Currently, I am working on a vintage crib size quilt. I have already picked the fabrics and I am sewing the squares together. When I think of vintage my mind drifts to subdued tones and wonderful textures. Unfortunately, the fabric isn’t very textured, so I’m going [...]

Phase 1 Completed

My mom is very crafty. She’s extremely creative, which feels like a complete understatement. She’s amazing. She has been, in a variety of different ways, trying to get me to make a quilt.
