I’ve been having so much fun using my sewing machine and finding beginner-friendly fabric projects to create. One of my recent projects was these simple Christmas fabric gift bags. These little bags are fun to make with scrap Christmas fabric that I found at one of the estate sales earlier this summer. Now I am…
I am having so much fun finding easy ways to include quilts into my daily life. Recently, I took some scraps from the quilt projects I’ve been working on and made a few keychain fobs. With just a few minutes, some scrap quilt pieces and leftover key rings, these came together pretty quickly. This post…
I love to travel all over the United States and have been to 46 states so far but I have to admit, my favorite state of them all is my home state of Kentucky. There’s just something about the rolling hills and changing seasons that just says home to me. Another thing I love is…
