  • 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!

infinity scarf

Today I made up for my lack of sewing yesterday.  I finished off a final Christmas present (pictures to come!) and made an infinity scarf.

Yep.  It’s Innocent Crush.  I know, I know–I keep saying it’s not my favorite and then I keep seeing  it in person and changing my mind.  First it was the pillow (which is going to get some buddies this weekend) with the velours, and now it’s the voiles.  The fabric may not say ‘quilt’ to me, but they sure look pretty on home decor and fashion items!

(Thanks to Ellie and her messy ways I had the opportunity to model it with two shirts in one afternoon!)

I plan on making a lot more of these–Ellie is at an age where necklaces are unwise, but these infinity scarves will allow me to accessorize without fear of breakage!

susanne - I’m not even going to lie, I’m a little creeped out by this post. I know I’ve said it before about my Muse cheating on me, but now it’s just weird!!! I TOTALLY made an infinity scarf, from quilter’s cotton for my BFF. I put it in yesterday’s mail and was planning on blogging about it now that it was on it’s way. SO weird.

Kati S. - I love how it came out. How big did you make it? Did you use a pattern or tutorial? I too have issues of accessory breakage with children and would love a fun scarf like this. Thanks!

Melissa - LOVE the scarf! And you’ve got a great point about necklaces being verboten around wee girlies. And I need something on my neck at all times, so this is a wonderful compromise! I think I’ve seen the pattern at Crafty Laine, so maybe I’ll pick one up and some fabric to make one (or 3?) this week.
It looks really great! :o)

Little Bluebell (Adrianne) - Ack! You look so cute with that scarf and your face peeping out from behind your camera. I love the colors you put together. I would totally buy that scarf!

Susan - that is so pretty….that first picture of the fabric makes me want to reach out and touch it….It looks really cute on you too.

Katie - The fabric is super awesome and you look adorable 🙂

infinity scarf marathon » Stolen Moments - […] night I went on a bit of an infinity scarf bender.  I’ve been wearing my last one about twice a week, and have intended to make more for me as well as future gifts for the women I […]
