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 […]

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 […]
APQ Radio Show Monday
Hello! I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving! I celebrated the holidays a little early with family, since Matt and I are now camping out at home to await the baby’s arrival. My due date is in early January, but we’re entering that window where you really don’t want to be far from home. […]
Where I’ve Been: Book Release Party
Since I’ve been a little MIA this month, I wanted to tell you what’s been filling my days. Yesterday, I shared some pics from my trip to Houston Quilt Market. The very next weekend, I hosted a . . . Book Release Party in Nashville I know I talk a lot about fabric on this […]
