A few months at my Modern Quilt Guild meeting, my friend, L, showed off her most recent finish, a bag! I fell in love with this bag and especially fell in love with the quilted detail on the top. I wondered what it might look like to quilt with a double needle, so I gave it a try on my baby doll quilt…my little niece, G, wouldn’t mind an experiment if it went wrong! (Continue reading…)

It’s finally here—you’ve finished your quilt! The binding is on and it’s ready for gifting or snuggling. Then you realize you forgot to label your masterpiece, and you just can’t bare to add one more stitch…Oh, I’ll get to it later, you think to yourself.

This past weekend, my aunt, sister, and I went to an amazing little spot in Lancaster that we just love! It’s called Henry’s Greenhouse and every time we go there, we squeal with delight, “these are our people!” They’ve always got the most amazing plants, adorable ideas, and I love their selection of succulents. These amazing little plants are just about the only thing that I can keep alive as far as foliage goes— and don’t they just have a fresh, modern look to them!?
