New Year, new projects.

I'm not much of a New Year goal maker type person but I do set a million goals all year long and one of the first goals I've made this year is to finish one of my 3 baby quilts I've started and haven't finished. It's so hard to finish something when you don't like the direction it's going! I'm going to do it though, right after I finish this little ditty I picked up after Christmas ;o).


This is the middle step of a quilt kit called Vintage Baby from Quilt Taffy. I figured I don't have very good luck trying to quilt on my own so why not make one from a kit where the hard part is done for you. No choosing the right fabrics, no picking the perfect pattern, NO calculating... it's perfect as is! So far I love everything about it. The pattern is non-quilter friendly, which is very important to me, and it's coming together so fast which is another strong point. I can't wait to finish it so I can try to make more that are twin sized for the girls. Heck, I might even give it a go for my bed. This baby is addicting!

I'm sort of getting burnt out with sewing ( I don't know why ;o) ?) so after a few commitments I've already made I think I'm taking a short break for a while and I'm going to scrapbook a bit. I really wanted to do a 365 day album for Kennedy's baby book but the kit I found for it just wasn't meshing with my style and is sort of anti-baby so I'm going to try to wing it on my own. I promise not to splatter my blog with daily 365 stuff though. I'll just splatter a little scrappy every couple of weeks, sound good?

Have a great weekend!

  1. You go girl!! It is kind of addicting. You will truly LOVE it once it's all washed up and shrinky!

    I would welcome little snippets of Kennedy throughout the year. Everyday? bring it on!!

  2. This is too funny - i was JUST looking at that pattern a few minutes ago, thinking... hMMM - do I have time to do this (or the willpower?) So you found this in KIT form? Where did you find it? I'd be much more likely to attempt to make a *gasp* BIG quilt if the hard part was already done!
