Haha, no... don't jump to conclusions y'all.
It started when Noah asked me to fix a pair of his pants. I got out my sewing machine and sewing kit (some people have frilly sewing baskets, I use an old tool box)
Then something happened. What started as an innocent fix-it project turned into this:
And this:
And this:
Of course, in order for all this to happen, you need this:
I packed up my sewing stuff, quilting tools, fabrics neatly in bins last September, thinking it was possible I wouldn't be pulling it out again for months??.... years??But, I'm so glad that I've had the desire to jump into a new project (which has now become 3 different quilt projects, of course) and that Ethan is a relatively easy baby who will play with his toys on a blanket for a few hours in the evening while I can fuss over design, layout, piecing, etc.
I was inspired by this stacked coin quilt, and am hoping to do 3 different quilts based on this design.
So, while I didn't think I'd be quilting again this soon... it feels good to be back in the swing of things.

Amazing. That you are so crafty, and that Ethan gives you the time to do that stuff! I finally got back to a bit of knitting and reading when Josie was 6 months and started to do better napping on her own, and it does feel SO GOOD to have a little something for yourself, doesn't it?
I think quilting may be next on my list of indulgent hobbies... your color schemes are gorgeous! :)
