One of the items on my "to-do" list is to make sure that I would really decorate my kids rooms in the new house. We've kind of lived like college students with a mish-mash of things and nothing that is really decorated. That had to change and I've been so excited with how many projects I've been able to make using the Cricut Maker!

I really can't express how much the Cricut Maker* has been a life saver when it comes to making quilts. Besides the actual "quilting", cutting was my biggest reason I stopped making quilts. Cutting by hand takes so much time and I could never get the squares completely squared, which resulted in "wonky" squares. I'm WAY to OCD when it comes to quilts, so I just stopped making them.
To give you a better idea of how big of a life changer this has been, this is my 4th quilt since getting the Maker. 4 quilts in a year people. When I haven't made quilts in 5 years, 4 in one is crazy!
Are they "quilted" you ask????
ummmm….I plead the 5th there. One thing at a time okay!

I started being interested in sewing when I was about 12 years old. It was because I was a 5'6" bean pole that had to shop in the adult section because of my height, but I didn't have the right curves to hold clothing up so all my clothes were horribly baggy on me and long sleeves were never long enough for my stick arms. I adjusted some of my clothing by hand sewing, and lets just say hand sewing is not my calling in life. It can be so incredibly beautiful, but I'm just too impatient for it. I had told my mother I had wanted a sewing machine and one day, when my oldest was about 4 months old, she showed up with a brand new sewing machine.

Of course she told me it was because she MIGHT get into sewing one day and I could "borrow" said machine until that time. Sneaky mum. Sneaky.
