I often get asked how long does it take to make a quilt.  My answer is always-- "It Varies".  Sometimes I can complete a quilt in a week-end and others it takes months.  The quilts I am working on now falls into the months category. 

Crazy patch quilts take a long time to make because they consist of multiple fabrics, decorative stitches and construction.  To create the block, fabrics must be prepped, cut, ironed and sewn together.  Each block takes about 30 mins. just to sew together. That is roughly 8 hours to construct all the blocks for one quilt.  That is not including the time to prep, cut or embellish each block. 

The video is a mini tutorial of how one block is constructed.  (part 1)

Enjoy the process! 

Today I made a fresh cucumber soap.  My garden has produced so many cucumber this year!   I made cucumber salad, pickled them....now made some soap!  Scented with cucumber melon.  It will be ready to use in October.  Check out the making here:

I was asked why I don't make bath bombs.  I wanted to concentrate on making soap and doing them well!  People still keep asking so......... the wait is over!!  I will be posting new bath bombs over the next several weeks.  Should be fun!  So here is the first...  Cupcake Bath Bomb made with eco friendly glitter - Smells awesome!! 

Starting a new project for a customer. Making four memory quilts from her husband's  clothing. One quilt for each one of her children.  I always feel blessed making these types of quilts.  Really excited to begin.  

Just Love the light scent of these new lotion bars.  Made from Bees Wax, Olive Oil, Shea Butter and Pure Honey Fragrance Oil. 

I started making soap in the Spring of 2016.  Little did I know at the time how much fun it would be.  It basically took on a life of its own.
