  • 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!

castle peeps quilt update

My Castle Peeps quilt top has been done for a few weeks and is patiently awaiting its backing.  We will be headed to the renaissance fair soon so I need to get cracking on this one!  (Or accept defeat.  Either way.)  These giant pluses have 7″ finished squares at the top and bottom and 7×21″ rectangles in the middle.

Alejandra - Wow! This is beautiful. I am terrified of quilting, especially with weird shapes like this. You are definitely brave!

Ashley - Oh fun! Giant plusses are awesome!

Brooke - Ooh, I love this! What a great way to showcase such fun fabrics. I may have to copy it with my Castle Peeps or 1001 Peeps.

charlotte - I love this. I just made two quickie peeps quilts myself. All done on the machine. If you would like to see them, they are on my blog. grammieq.blogspot.com
