This has been the most time intensive quilt of my life so far ever. I started this beauty 6 months ago, hand stitching over 300 hours, and finished it a week after Christmas (note: getting better at finishing projects on time!)

My Favourite Quilt So Far!
Sometimes I take on craft projects for the insane challenge. I just finished my first hand stitched quilt! It’s a gift to my cousin who recently had a little baby girl. I admit, I have a hard time finishing a project that takes more than 4 hours, but it was totally worth it (and only a month late!)
Also, I’ve updated the about section and started an Etsy store, HomemadeHomeDecor!

Pot Holders
Pinterest! Pin It
I made some pretty easy quilted pot holders. These are a great way to try out your quilting skills. I used a basic pattern but you could really jazz it up. Here are a ton of ideas.
5 layer sandwich – the top is the quilted square, next is an aluminum sprayed fabric which is heat resistant, 2 regular quilt batting and the last one is the back side of the pot holder.
Yup, I had to try them out right away! So I made some cranberry muffins.

Fashion Kitty
Even my kitty wears Chanel.
I wasn’t completely happy with how the skirt turned out, so I made another one.
Better! Agree?
