This is a place for me to rant, to display what I'm working on, to show off my latest cooking achievements.
Pretty much my home away from facebook.

I'm renaming this blog "Baby Blankets Inc."

Guess what everyone, I made another baby blanket!  *gasp*  I should really start an esty site or something, babies never go out of style apparently.  I had less than a month to throw this one together so I thought the quickest way would be quilting.  The great thing about lazy quilting is that most craft stores sell pre-cut fabric.  No measuring, no windmills or bonnets or other quilting terms, just sewing the shit together.


So this is the piece work I did, but I soon realized that I wouldn't be able to finish my project on my own.  The last time I quilted, I just ran that sucker through my sewing machine and it turned into this mess of threads and knots.  I did figure out why, after the fact of course.  I didn't have a walking foot for my sewing machine.  A what?


It looks like a medieval torture device.  The added dilemma seems that you can't readily buy one in town, you have to order online, and being as I was in a time crunch and had no idea how to judge which of the many models to buy I cheated.  I called Mamaw up for a favor.  My mamaw is a Sewing With Nancy fanatic, not to mention she has every fancy sewing, embroidery, and serger machine you can have.  I sent my little project down to Mamaw's to have her finish and voila!  A blanket was born!




Special One Leidner, I hope you are into black lights because that was my inspiration for your blanket.  Now hurry up and say hi already!
