Pattern Maker

Has everyone seen this?!

You can use this website to turn a picture into a quilt pattern!! I think I might do this with a picture from our wedding or honeymoon. Wouldn't that be a cute keepsake?


You can choose how many colors and how complex the pattern is too! Big squares, little squares, or squares & triangles.

More positive now

Has anyone been to Pottery Barn lately? Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel really do it for me. They are both mostly out of my first-year-teacher price range. But I can idea shop there for free. And I don't feel guilt because I admit where I get the ideas.


Some eye-candy that I can make myself!

Burlap back, a wood frame, 2 metal rods, little buckets (you could get those at ikea), and a burlap sac.

Wonky stripey quilt. I need to work more color into my quilts. I've noticed that I stop at 3 colors/tones.

Wooden thread spools as wall hooks. Brilliant. I have TONS of these!
