  • 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!

look at that, 2013!

Look at me go!  The first week of the new year and I’m actually working on one of my goal quilts!

I had planned to make an improv log cabin quilt out of this Children at Play line and had 9 blocks started.  Realizing that my original plans weren’t so realistic I decided to just put them together in a larger improv way…here’s my initial progress!  (excuse the bad pics–the light where I’ve laid these out to work on them is awful!)

Suzanne - I like what the reevaluation of your goals is becoming. 🙂

laurie - I have these fabrics too – i bought them right when they came out and I still haven’t cut into them! Your project is great.
