(It’s like I can’t stop with the bad puns now; I apologize.) Anyway, here’s a peek at another parliament of owls—the last one is a print-out my sister made to plan out a patchwork quilt that is still in the, ahem, conceptual phase. Read More »

Molly over at the Purl Bee posted a tutorial for an undeniably awesome patchwork quilt on Friday (which I found thanks to the watchful eyes of the Craft editors). It is completely hand-sewn, so even folks without a sewing machine can do it, and because it is made from non-fraying wool felt, you... Read More »
