Travel Pillow and Shawl for Quilts and More Magazine
Hello again! As I mentioned, I’m catching up this week on blogging about some patterns I wrote for publication. This winter, I had the chance to sew a fun and quick project for the Spring 2014 issue of Quilts and More magazine. My project is a neck pillow and travel shawl sewn with Cuddle from […]
Chevron Snuggle Blanket and Pet Bed for Generation Q Magazine
I’m going to spend some time over the next couple weeks updating the blog on some magazine projects I’ve had the privilege to create! Since there’s a new issue of Generation Q out now (featuring my friend Sara on the cover!), I figured it was about time to blog about the previous issue. Hah! Several […]
Peek-a-Boo Pattern Shop: Lullaby Line Pants, Bodysuit and Sleep Sack
Today, my friend RaeAnna is sharing all about a sweet gift she made for Elliot! It’s a bodysuit and pants set using the newborn line from Peek-a-Boo Patterns. RaeAnna is participating in a pattern tour, and she asked if I could take some photos of this little guy modeling the outfit. But, of course! […]
Memo Board for Kitchen Stitches + Giveaway!
Today, I’m excited to share a project I created for the new book Kitchen Stitches, a sewing compilation of projects to make for everyone’s favorite room in the house. I actually made three projects for this book, but I can only share one with you right now. The others may be featured in future […]
On Becoming a Mom
On Tuesday, January 7th, I became a mom. Meet Elliot. He’s quite the looker, if I do say so myself. To say the delivery was rough would be an understatement. I had no idea that the little man inside of me would arrive into the world at a whopping 9 lbs. and 21 inches. I […]

Tweed Flower Handbag for Stitch Winter 2013
I have another magazine project to share! Sometime last spring, just after we’d moved to Nashville, I submitted a purse design to Stitch magazine for their winter issue. I really love working with Stitch, because their design prompts are so interesting and they really get my creative juices flowing. The idea was to design […]
Sturdy Striped Tote for Stitch Craft Create Gifts
I wanted to quickly share a project I made for Stitch Craft Create’s Gifts 2013 issue. Way back in January, I had a few sewing deadlines to meet before my husband and I packed up and moved from Indiana to Tennessee. This Sturdy Striped Tote was made with fabric I picked up at IKEA (clearance!) […]
Handmade Gifts are the Best Gifts
Yesterday, I got a package containing one of the nicest gifts I’ve ever received! It was a quilt-size box (what?!), and the shipping label said it was a package from my friend Sarah at Fabric Seeds. I know I’ve mentioned Sarah before, as she was one of the first blog friends I met in “real […]
