		<description><![CDATA[This is my all time favorite quilt I ever made. Probably because it was the first quilt I made for my first child and there&#8217;s a certain sentimental attachment in that. It&#8217;s yellow because I picked out the fabric when I first found out I was pregnant and then I got terrible morning sickness so [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Often I find myself purchasing a fat quarter bundle and then designing a quilt that fits the amount of fabric I have to work with. I don&#8217;t like to have a lot of scrap fabric left over so I try to make the biggest quilt that the bundle I purchased allows for. Different bundles come [&#8230;]]]></description>

The numbers down the right side represent the direction of your fat quarter that measures 18 inches (the length of your fabric). Pick the column that represents how wide you want [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My son, Luke, is currently 18 months old. He&#8217;s running around and grabbing everything. One of the things that has been holding me back from quilting the most since he&#8217;s been born is the fear that he&#8217;s going to grab the hot iron. This simple how to is for you if you want to be [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is one of those things I have to keep looking up over and over again for myself. I made my own little chart and diagram based on Quilter&#8217;s Dream batting sizes since that&#8217;s what my local quilting shop sells. Other brands might be slightly different sizes but this should get you in the ballpark. [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last night I wanted to sew while Luke was in his room and supposed to be sleeping (but he wasn&#8217;t). I wanted to keep it quiet so he&#8217;d be less interested in what I was doing so I turned the speed on my sewing machine down to it&#8217;s slowest setting. And then a memory popped [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I made my first quilt, I didn&#8217;t know that patchwork quilt patterns were designed to be sewn with a 1/4 inch seam allowance. I used what had, up to that point, been my sewing standard of a 3/8 inch seam allowance which meant that my quilt came out smaller than I anticipated. An accurate [&#8230;]]]></description>

Months later, I realized I do indeed need more time for me so I decided it was time for a read. [&#8230;]]]></description>

When your fabrics already include all of the colors, plain white is the contrast. I use Aurifil. Back when I was making my very first machine quilted quilt, it was what the owner of my local [&#8230;]]]></description>

What did I learn? If you&#8217;re ironing in your galley style kitchen so that the iron can be behind the baby [&#8230;]]]></description>
