Continuing to take advantage of the burst of energy I’ve had lately, I pulled out the basted quilt that Layla made, and decided she needed it to be finished before her brother arrives. I really didn’t know what to do, so I just went with a criss-cross design and sewed away. Not much thinking, and...
Have you seen this Lua Sleepsack Ashley made? As soon as I laid eyes on it, I knew my baby would need one. So I pulled out two of my go to fabrics, Liberty and Robert Kaufman chambray, purchased the pattern, and got to work. What a fantastic pattern this is! Seriously, its super well...
I think its safe to say I’m nesting. I wake up tired, but get going anyway because I have a four year old who will stand there and tap on me until I’m up. Shortly after getting up, I’m tired and in need of rest. Then something happens in the evenings and I kick into...

I was going to try and back the next quilt I make her in cuddle fabric. Although, I have so much voile maybe I should try that first!
Regardless, Layla looks so happy about her finished quilt! Tell her congratulations!
