Needles and a Pen bio picture
  • 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!

Dr Seuss Quilt A

I have been working on two Dr Seuss quilts for the Babies A and B that will be joining our family in the next month.  I finally finished the binding on this one this week!  (You can see an earlier stage in the process in this post here.)

(I chose a bizarre aperture for these photos.  Sometimes I make really weird choices after staying up all night.  Oh well.  Perils of the night shift.  Don’t ask me what Will’s excuse is for those mismatched socks, though.)

I love the back.  Such a great panel print!
