Make It With Madison

After making this pattern, I think I might have to make more oven mitts! This was so simple to put together in a short morning sew and I had a lot of fun quilting the heart fabric. I forgot I had this fabric until I found it earlier in the week while I was looking for something else. I have a few pieces of it, but I think I originally got it in a bag at a thrift store for 50 cents or something? It was a good deal. I can't wait to think of more projects I can use this fabric i

A couple of days ago, I made the mistake of trying to learn the jasmine stitch while watching a tv show. I still really want to learn the jasmine stitch, but wanted something a little easier for a washcloth or something similar to make while watching (being distracted by) my show.

Bread is one of my favorite things to bake (it makes my kitchen smell amazing!), but I don't always like the long rise/rest time involved, especially if I'm trying to make something in a hurry. Sometimes I forget to plan ahead, which can complicate things, but recipes like this one have helped me out in a pinch!
