When I saw this fabric, I knew I had to make a quilt for my wicked cool Sister in Law. This new pattern from The Quilted Cow is going to become a go to. Easy but unique design. Loved this one enough to keep for myself!! No. 16 Stats: Read more
Project No. 15 – Made for Me, Sold it Anyway.
I don’t have a lot to say about this one surprisingly. I was watching my weekly quilt livestream from my buddies over at The Quilted Cow and this quilt popped up as a sample. I liked the design. It was strip pieced together with the blocks on point which is something I hadn’t tried before,… Read more

Project No. 14 – It’s Time to Kick Cancer’s Ass.
Lately, I’ve been doing some practice quilts to build my skills, but I always pick fabrics with a person in mind. When a good friend of mine told me about a new cancer diagnosis in their family, I knew I wanted to do something special for the person who was beginning to fight this ugly… Read more
Project No. 12 – The “Only Because I Like You” Quilt.
As a die-hard Kentucky fan, working on this quilt was a bit of a challenge. Yet, I completed this T-shirt quilt for a friend who proudly sports their Louisville alumni status. Despite the friendly rivalry, I poured my heart into crafting a beautiful quilt that celebrated their college memories. Of course, I made sure to… Read more
Project No. 11 – Decades of Memories.
Quilt No. 11 is extra special. My high school theatre director, a mentor throughout my teen years, reached out when he heard I was making quilts. He asked if I could transform all his show t-shirts into a quilt. The idea of turning these t-shirts into a quilt filled with memories of countless performances was… Read more
Project No. 10 – This Quilt Almost Went Into The Fireplace.
When a friend of mine requested a quilt in LSU colors to give as a gift to his mother for Christmas, I was thrilled with the challenge. The vision was a queen size quilt, featuring purple and gold. Sounds easy enough, right? Little did I know, this project would test my skills and patience in… Read more
Project No. 8 & No. 9 – Christmas Gifts.
This blog post has to be short, sweet, and to the point because I neglected to take any photos of these two quilts. A former co-worker’s mom reached out and requested matching T-Shirt quilts for her daughters for Christmas. The quilts featured shirts from family vacations, cheer competitions and more. I did try something new… Read more
Project No. 7 – A Galaxy Far, Far, Away.
A Journey of Firsts with Vader & his Troopies. When my husband, Mr. Kraft, joined me on one of my early trips to the fabric store, he picked out fabric specifically for a quilt he wanted. Although I had a queue of projects lined up ahead of his, he patiently waited while I honed my… Read more
Project No. 6 – The Little Ghost Who Was A Quilt.
Y’all. There is something about this one that REALLY makes me happy. I’m a huge BLUE fan (Go CATS), so that may be the main reason why, but this is the first project I have made where I’ve been tempted to keep i for myself vs. give as an intended gift. It’s the easiest quilt… Read more
Project No. 5 – This one is for me.
After high school a lot of my friends had quilts made with all their shirts and memorabilia from being a Red Devil. I never got one gifted or made for me and at the time I felt like I was missing out, but now I’m kind of glad I didn’t. I got to make this… Read more
Project No. 4 – A Day on Safari in Indiana.
Shortly after I started working on No. 1, I found out a good friend of ours was expecting her first little one. Months later, I heard baby boy and dark green/cream nursery and got to work. Having used precut fabric squares on No. 3, I decided to forgo the endless cutting and chose precuts again.… Read more
Project No. 3 – Nanny’s New Digs.
A Simple, Heartfelt Quilt for My Grandmother In the midst of working on No. 2 I found myself needing a break from all those 3.5″ squares. One day, inspiration struck: my grandmother (yes, the one who gave me her sewing machine!) was moving to a new home and would be leaving behind most of her… Read more
