When my daughter was born, a friend gave us a bib that her sister had made. It was just gorgeous – beautiful fabric, well-made, and thick and absorbent with snaps to keep it on!

Oh my heart is so happy to see cousins together! So today, head on over to Ms Midge to link up and check out what… Read More
I recently finished this baby clothes quilt for a fellow expat here in Japan. A mutual friend told her that I make quilts, so she asked if I could make one using her daughter’s baby clothes. I had never made one before, but I was willing to try! So a big box full of baby clothes arrived on my doorstep,… Read More
