Here's how blogging's been going lately: I sit down, write a few lines about this, that, who, how and why and then run out of steam, dwindle, drop the ball, FLOP!
And here's how crafting's been going lately: I have an idea, a very bright and fantastical idea that wakes me up at 5:45am and beckons me downstairs to sketch, color, sketch some more, overthink, yawn, yearn for my pillow, and then FLOP! Yet again.
It is a theme, for sure. But I'm embracing my flops and forging forward.
This quilt is for a sweet new little baby boy named Emmett. An incredibly cute and nibble-worthy baby. Nine months in the making (the quilt, not the baby) (well technically, I guess the baby, too) with loops and linen and splashes of color to keep him cozified.
And now, I must rest my brains in preparation for my early morning crafty wake-up call. g'night!

I love this quilt--blues and oranges are my favorite combination these days. I completely get those whims of creativity that get you out of bed so early in the morning--and the flops, too! It is nice to see you popping into this space :)
gorgeous. i love the circles.
oh, and fyi: im going to be moving to your neck of the woods in about 6 weeks. (the portland area) im not telling you that so you feel obligated to hang out with me or anything, but if youre in Powells and see a short haired gal trying to keep her kids under control, say "hi."
:)

Yay, you didn't FLOP! I love the blues and oranges of the quilt, and the stitched loops too.

this quilt is over the top! may i ask what fabrics you used? I especially love the little houses, paired with the blue/white designed fabric. gorgeous! i think the baby will definitely be cozified, and I'm totally adding this new word you've coined to my vocabulary - ha!
Love your blog - looking forward to poking around!
