I like to sew and quilt. Most of my projects are simple and don't require a pattern. I prefer rotary cutting, straight-line sewing, and easy projects that are quick to make. I lead a busy life, so time management is important, which is why you'll mostly see quick projects on this site.

Sewing and sewing...
I've been preoccupied with sewing for an Arts & Crafts fair. Fair was this weekend and finished lots of stuff. We also raised money for Camp Hope - http://www.chrisnealfarm.com. I made a quilt which will be raffled off this coming weekend.

A little project...
My niece asked if I could make some more burp cloths for her baby, my grand-niece. Sure! Found some leftover flannel, bought a couple inexpensive towels, and viola! New burp cloths! She did ask me not to make the "notch" for the shoulder that I'd done for the other burp cloths I made her. So both sides are straight.
Stashbusting:
1 and 1/2 yards of fabric
1 spool of leftover thread

Since people found out I can sew (and quilt)...
I've been doing some commissioned sewing and quilting!
A customer gave me an apron and asked me to make 3 copies of the style in Christmas fabric. She left the choice of fabric up to me. I made 3 identical aprons from Mary Englebreit's Christmas Cookies fabric.
I also made 3 identical aprons from Robert Kaufmann's Christmas Recipe Card Collection. The customer now has two choices. The remaining aprons will go into my Etsy shop.
Stashbusting:
4 spools of various threads leftover from other projects.
