  • Welcome to my blog!

    Hi! I'm Traci. I'm a Registered Nurse who loves quilting, knitting, cross stitch, and the great outdoors. In my pre-scrubs life, I owned Real Photography, and you can still see my old wedding and portrait photography site here .

    I've created a map that shows links to our camping/hiking/general family fun review posts that you can find here. It's pretty much the coolest thing on this site. Thanks, Google!

    I great big puffy heart *love* comments, so please let me know you visited! I try to always reply!

car fabric marker roll

I love all of the crayon rolls on Etsy and thought it would be a good way to use up some of the Wheels fabric I have left over from Will’s car quilt (which is very close to being done–but both Joann’s and I ran out of our gray Gutterman).  It was very easy–I used iron-on interfacing for the turquoise fabric, sewed together the lining and outer fabrics (along with the ribbon), folded it over to create the pocket, and topstitched.  I divided it into ten sections (since Will had 10 markers) and stitched the dividing lines.
