Basketweave Quilt Tutorial

Here's the link to the quilt tutorial.  I will say, I dont think it was as "quick" as is states to make .. it's a little tricky keeping everything lined up perfectly, etc. but if you take your time it'll turn out cute:) 

Here's the link:

Checking in...

I haven't written in my blog in a LONG time so I figured I'd better take the time to write.  Things are always crazy busy and I just love it.  I've been sewing more lately which makes me SUPER happy ... my sewing got a little lost when I started crocheting and knitting... crochet and knit items are so popular that I had a hard time keeping up ... so sewing was put on the back burner.  I'm happy to say that I'm back to being able to sew more again and I LOVE it.  I'm currently making some gorgeous rag quilts, headbands and soon to be womens convertable scarf/nursing cover.  There are just so many things out there to make...and I've gone crazy with buying fabric lately so I need to start sewing more in order to keep my fabric supply down to a manageable amount.

I've done a couple/few giveaways since my last blog post. I have also donated items to two silent auctions, both involving individuals who were diagnosed with cancer (both have children).  I really enjoy helping out- it's the very least I can do to make even a tiny difference in their lives to make it a little better.  God gave all of us talents and he intended us to use them in a positive way.  I encourage everyone to give, give, give ... even for no reason.

This Fall I will be offering crochet classes.  I haven't quite figured out when this Fall but as soon as I figure it out, I'll get dates and times posted.  I've never had crochet classes before so it should be a lot of fun!

Well, I need to get going on a quilt I'm making!  I hope you are all doing fabulous... I'll post again soon!

Be well!
