Four years ago (as of the end of next month), I sat down at a sewing machine again for the first time since middle school home ec. After piecing together some patchwork quilt blocks I had sewn by hand about five years prior to that (nothing special, I am just really sloooooooow with the hand-sewing), I decided I was head-over-heels in love with machine sewing and dove into a thousand little projects.

It was around this time that my Etsy obsession was really flourishing, so when I came across Kelly McCaleb's shop of amazing goodies, I HAD TO HAVE one of her baby sized quilt kits! I mean come on. All awesome fabrics, vintage and modern, neatly bundled in a little package deal ready for you to lay out and assemble-- could not resist.



And so my first fully completed quilt was born, in the form of a baby quilt for young Ethan, who was already 17 months old at the time...



Hoping to break my Worst Mom Ever record by being even worse, I just now got around to making Noah's.



Yeah. He is three and a half now. Thanks for reminding me.





Done! I love it. Like super love.



And I got to use my brand spankin' new assorted safety pins,



which live in this awesome box my friend Greg gave me a little while back.



The best part of course is that Noah loves his quilt and it now has a proud place on his little bed every night.
