Did I mention my most recent crafting obsession is quilting? Well, it is. So, in honor of the many quilting posts to come, I thought I would share a picture of the very first quilt I made.

This quilt was made for Evangeline and I finished it a month or so before she was born. I used glorious Amy Butler fabrics for this and I still love it. However, let me just say that it was a slightly harrowing experience.

My wonderful sister-in-law, Michelle, helped me out. During hour number 5 of quilting we realizing we had cut 22 pieces of fabric exactly 1/4" too small. After which Michelle exclaimed, "Quilting blows! I forgot how much I hate quilting!"

However, we did recover and I have since decided that cutting that fabric is really the only arduous part of quilting. Everything else is fun and makes one feel very domestic indeed. I am currently in the midst of finishing up a gorgeous quilt. Just the binding to finish and then pictures to follow!

Do YOU quilt?

Week three is here!
Last week my project was the WELCOME TO SCRANTON Baby Gift Set!


Thanks to all who voted!

Take a look at this week's crafts under the theme WATER.


Can you guess which one is mine?
Now, go and vote for your favorite!

The voting is closed for Week 2 of So You Think You're Crafty and I took 2nd place! Woot!

Now, many of you incorrectly guessed which project was mine, including my Mom, who placed a very well-intentioned vote for the Market Bag (which was fine by me since that was a great craft)!

But, in fact, my project was the TIC-TAC-TOE To Go! And may I just say that my girls have been playing with it non-stop, despite the fact that neither of them knew how to play Tic-Tac-Toe prior to this week. It's definitely a keeper in our house.


A full tutorial will follow later this week!
