  • 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!

Dr Suess Quilt B

I’ve already shared one of the Dr Seuss quilts that I made for my nieces, but I realized that I never shared the second one!  This is Nic’s favorite by far, because he feels strongly that all quilts should be made with minky backs.  The panels are all from their momma’s favorite book.  If I had it to do over, I’d avoid quilting over the squares made by four solid triangles, but I know the babies don’t care!
