Crochet Dish Cloths! {A Giveaway AND A Free Pattern!}

If you read my blog post here, you know that I do not consider myself a crocheter (is that even a word?) and all I really know how to crochet are dishcloths!  But let me tell you what, I can whip out the dishcloths and I love the pattern that I have perfected!  

Gingham Farmhouse Blog Tour

I always consider it such a compliment to be asked to sew with a Designer's fabric.  And Gingham Farmhouse by Poppie Cotton was such a treat.   

I was sent a bundle of 27 fabrics to work with and they are positively the sweetest fabrics.  There are gingham checks, little farmhouses, flowers, bunnies, and lattice.  All in the softest pink, lavender, cream and black.  And they just go together so beautifully.  

I made a sweet handful of hexies and I looked at the fabric for weeks.  I just kept coming back to the thought that I wanted to make a quilt that would completely reflect the softness of the fabric.  And I just couldn't seem to think of the right pattern to really bring that out.  

Me & My 18" Doll Book Review {And A Giveaway}

I was honored to be asked by Erin Hentzel, the Author of the new book, Me & My 18" Doll, if I would like to review her book and share a project here on my blog.    I'm always excited to sew for Jillian and Rosetta's collection of American Girl Dolls so of course I said yes.
