i have found through trial and error that i love quilting!
i decided to share the quilts i have made so far but don’t ask me any in technical questions about them because i probably won’t know! i just get and idea in my head, make a pattern and then throw it together. i should probably go take a class so i don’t look like such and idiot when i go to those fancy, smancy quilting shops. but then i never was one to follow the rules anyway.

vintage squares baby quilt is 40 x 40 and was so easy to make! my new favorite quilting tool is spray adhesive! it’s basically a big fabric sandwich and straight lines, anybody could make this quilt!

this is Jenaka’s quilt. it is very colorful and wild and very girly. it fits her perfectly! it was a lot of work. lots of cutting, ironing, assembly and tons of applique! Nicole quilted it for me and i just adore it!

This is my first quilt and was a lot of fun to make. Learning the applique and hand stitching took a lot of time but it turned out really cute.
