Beanie JJ

This hat was inspired by my cute sister Jana! She wanted an interchangeable flower beanie and I tried a stitch that my sister-in-law Heather (the master beanie maker) did for one of Emily's beanies! It gives it a more cutesy look and I love it! My favorite stitch so far!

Isn't she adorable?!

Amy's Quilt

Amy inspired this one! We needed to make sure she had a quilt the perfect size and SUPER warm for when she is at dialysis! So we created this polk-a-dot masterpiece! Bright and cheery just like Amy! Love you Amy Girl!

In Memory of Grandma Arrington: Jory's T-Shirt Quilt

The second Christmas I was married I decided to do a t-shirt quilt for my husband! Oh man am I glad I did! I called my Grandma and she gave me the instructions of how to do it and so I did! While it wasn't by any means perfect or beautifully flawless like my grandma's t-shirt quilts, I still learned a lot! A few years later (1 1/2 years) she unexpectedly passed away! She has blessed the lives of many with her extraordinary talent of sewing! At the end of our high school years, for each of her grandkids, my Grandma would make us a t-shirt quilt! It is something each of us looked forward too and saved and saved our t-shirts for the day we could take them to our Grandma's to turn them into a masterpiece! Well now that she's gone...no one else knows how to do it like her! I am the only one who has ever tried. My Aunt called and asked if I would make Jory's quilt. I had only made 2 before this one...My husband's and my best friend, Megan's t-shirt quilt! Each time I get better and better. This one, although not perfected as my Grandma's were, was the sweetest of the quilts to make because I could help carry on the Legacy my Grandma left for us even if it was in a small way; piece by piece!


I did pillowcases for the first time ever and a little mini-pillow as well to go with the quilt!

Reunion Auction Hats

This crocheted kids 4th of July beanie was my first time trying a flower and a cutesy border. If you noticed the edge of the hat is kind of scalloped!
This adult beanie idea came from my mom: She suggested that I make a more neutral color beanie and then make it so that you can have interchangeable flowers. In order to match whatever color you're wearing! So that's what I did! This beanie came with a matching brown flower, the pink flower you see and an additional white flower made just like the pink one! You just take the flower off the button and change it for the one you want! So much fun!
