What it's all about


The Challenge: Stay away from the craft stores for ONE WHOLE YEAR! This, my friends, is a challenge for me. My craft room is ridiculously overflowing. I LOVE thinking/finding new fun crafts to create and then going to the store to collect the supplies. Unfortunately, many of these projects never get finished; some never even get started. So here I am, challenging myself to not buy any craft supplies and yet still create crafts everyday!
The Exceptions: Inevitably I will need to purchase things like adhesives, glue, and thread. Well maybe not thread... Also gifts are allowed. If a family or friend feels so inclinded to send me a gift of crafts supplies who am I to refuse? I may not finish a project a day, but I will at least try. I have two small children who take up most of my time. I also enjoy other crafts like quilting. Therefore, sometimes the projects just won't get done in a day. But, I promise to try my best!

Day 54: Quilt Top

Today I sewed together a Jelly Roll into a quick and easy quilt top!  Thank you to my friend Angela who told me about it and to Heirloom Creations for coming up with this cute idea!  If you go to their website they have the complete instructions on how to make the quilt. I did make a small change, instead of sewing the initial strips together at a diagonal I just kept them straight.

With a Jelly Roll and just a few hours you too can have a cute quilt top made!  With two little ones running around I just don't have the time right now to make beautiful, intricate quilts.  Plus the little kid fabric is so cute I just can't resist it.  I used a Ten Little Things by Jenni Ski Moda Jelly Roll and white thread.  Now I need batting and backing fabric.  Hummm... that one might be more tricky.
