Birdhouse Baby Quilt

This one is finally done, and listed in my etsy shop. I love it, and wish I had a baby girl to give it to! Perhaps if it doesn't sell right away, I'll tuck it away in the attic and save it for a grand daughter... I'm crossing my fingers (but not for atleast 20 years since my boys are only 7, 4 and 3!)

Jessica's quilt - done!



I finished this comissioned quilt last night and shipped it off this morning to its new home in Florida. I wish I could have fit in the shipping box with it - it's way too cold here! Spring, where are you???

Victory Garden!


I am an anglophile. For a while I was lucky to visit England every 2 years over a 12 year period - to study abroad for a semester in college, work in London for a summer, hike the Lake District with my Dad, and to see my Dad's choral group sing at Royal Albert Hall...My last trip was 11 years ago when I went with my sister and we cried across the country having just come off broken engagements - both of us!! Anyway, I've been really, really itching to go, and since we weren't invited to the royal wedding, hubby and I have decided to go next year to celebrate our 10 yr. anniversary. Anyway, I've been trying to put off the purchase of this pattern, http://www.mkquiltdesigns.com/pattern%20pages/p-victorygarden.html but couldn't hold out any longer. I don't think there's anything cuter than the Union Jack. The quilt will be made, and may not look this pretty, but it will be loved, and remind me that a trip across the pond is coming!!

And I'm happy to report that I could photograph it outside because it's finally spring here and our snow is 99.9% gone!!!!!! - Of course it's going to be 47 and raining tommorrow, but the last few days have been great and the boys are getting lots of outside time!!
