  • 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!

I spent a lot of time cutting this week, and created this pretty little rainbow :

I thought that linen might be pretty for the stars, but decided on white.  (Although I’m toying with the idea of various shades of white and cream.)

Neicee - Wow Great Colors for your quilt! I need to catch up to everyone!

nicke - I love the white! I can’t wait to see how beautifully this comes together for you!

Lori - I love the idea of various shades of white and cream idea. that would definitely give it the vintage look…you could just throw a few random linen pieces in there for interest, too, if you’re brave enough. 😉 Looks to be amazing either way!
