First Trys

After years of child raising and career building.....

 I'm happy to say that I'm sewing again!

Here are a few of my first trys. There are plenty of mistakes but each new piece perfects my skills. Each one has been a joyous experience.

Stephen's Owls Rag Quilt
I made this for a dear friends new baby boy, Stephen .

So, this is a Jelly Roll Quilt ! 
I first saw this pattern in a YouTube video of a jelly roll race and thought it would be good practice. My sister and I were discussing pre-cuts and knowing my favorite colors, she suggested this Grand Finale line. 

Grammy's Surprise
This was my second jelly roll quilt. It was made for my husband's Grandmother. I got a little bolder and added two borders on a Moda's Share The Joy jelly roll.

Charm Squares Table Topper
This was a fun, one afternoon project made out of one Bernatex Bittersweet charm pack. It's a great choice for a quick gift. 

About Me

I am a wife, mom of three, serious cook, lampwork bead artist and quilter. Oh...... and a stressed executive with a two and a half hour per day commute.

I have come to the realization that things that bring me joy like quilting, cooking and hot glass are critical to my happiness. 

 I hope that visiting my blog does the same for you from time to time.
