OK, this is kind of a cheat, since I didn't really sew any of the blocks together this past weekend. I did get the blocks up on the design wall though, and am pretty happy with the look of them. Still need to tweak the arrangement of those dark blue units though. They need to […]
Bonnie and Camille are absolute geniouses when it comes to designing fabric. They have the Magic Touch, without any doubt. They can do no wrong when it comes to designing fabrics. This quilt is finally done! I used their Simple Abundance fabric line, which makes any project adorable. Love the cheerful summery feel of this […]

Mon Amour is what Carrie Nelson, the creator of this pattern told me I should name my little project. (Photo above is before binding was attached). Carrie's Schnibbles pattern is called Mon Ami, and is seriously one of the best Schnibbles designs ever. Since my recent discovery of a stash of Valentine's fabrics led me […]
