It’s amazing what you find out through Facebook. For example, I had no idea my cousin’s wife was even pregnant until she posted pictures of her newborn, Brooklyn Sophia.

My favorite posts of 2011
On March 27, I wrote an about and welcome post to this blog, and since then I’ve been posting regularly.

Blanket retrospective

WIP Wednesday – Hexagons aplenty
For other WIP Wednesday posts, be sure to stop by Tami’s Amis for links! I’m continuing along with my hexagon baby blanket this week. (I previously posted about it here, here, and here.) There’s not much more since my last post because, to quote Calophi’s blog, I had to “rip it good!” In an uncharacteristic [...]

(Apologies to my subscribers who received a draft of this post on Monday by accident!) For more WIP Wednesday posts, visit Tami’s Amis for crochet and knitting and Freshly Pieced for quilting. Two weeks ago, I mentioned that I was taking some classes at my LQS, the City Quilter, in an effort [...]
WIP Wednesday – Hexagon Baby Blanket (Week 3)
