Our first Improv Quilt - Taking out the Fear and Enjoying the Process + FREE Diamond Pattern.

The words improv quilt strike fear into the hearts of quilters.  I'm much more of the dreamer (cough...cough.....I have a plan...and will make it happen) and here is history repeating itself once again.  I envisioned drew/planned this quilt for so long.   I knew rainbow and stars but nothing like the ordinary-  no pattern, no rules...out of the box! Here's where mom (who also authors this blog)- shakes her head and thinks I'm crazy. Eventually I bring her over to my side (just like machine quilting) because her expertise is invaluable! Read on to see the beginning of the #limitlessquilt  I started out with lots of star blocks!  I made stars in many different colors and sizes.  I loosely stuck to the rule if it was a small star just one color.  If it was a larger star 8" then I used 2 colors to show transition and some stars got ALL COLORS!

Tutorial - DIY Kid's Backpack - Great for Pool, Toys, Overnight Outings or Day Trips

Check out how to make a DIY Mesh Bag for a little one (or big one!) in your life!!

These make great swim bags!!! I like using nylon material because it's strong, great for fabric painting/embroidery and great if you want to use the bag as a swim bag (dries in no time)!!!  If you are going to be using the bag for little toys like Lego’s, you might want to line the inside of the bag with nylon or some other material.  The below tutorial does not include a lining.  To do that, just buy and cut a piece of material 18” x 42” for column and sew together and 11” circle for bottom and sew column to bottom and top before adding drawstring step.  It’s that easy to alter!!! Possibilities are endless!!!  Wouldn’t your kid/grandkid love a gift in one of these bags or simply love the bag as a gift itself!!! 

I've also designed these bag options that include that all important cup holder and zippered pocket option if you prefer something different!!!
