Hi! I'm Lexi, and I consider myself to be an advanced beginner when it comes to sewing and quilting. I've been doing it for about two years, and really love it, but sometimes don't trust myself or give myself credit :)

I find so much inspiration from flickr and blogs, as there is just so much talent out there. I am always seeing things that I'd like to try someday, "when I get better," as I think!

I'm really loving Sherbet Pips and Little Apples by Aneela Hoey and anything by Kate Spain and Heather Ross.

I am desperate for some Macaroni Love Story, but don't have a single bit!

I'm obsessed with pinterest!

Also? A few other fun facts-

I grew up in New England and now I live in Washington, DC where I work for the federal government. I've lived abroad in Luxembourg, Poland and Canada, and would like to live abroad again. I love to travel and fill my passport with stamps. I read a lot and want to build libraries where they don't have any. I have a lot of cookbooks and love using them. I have an adorable godson named Jackson. I also sponsor two little girls through World Vision; six-year old Majlinda in Albania and two-year old Boikokobetso in South Africa. I love cupcakes, poppies, chocolate chip pancakes, peonies, strawberries and deviled eggs. I collect tea towels, teapots, Boleslawiec Polish pottery, vintage sewing supplies, Peter Rabbit books/pieces and Russian babushka nesting dolls. My two favorite childrens books of all time are Miss Rumphius and The Velveteen Rabbit and I would like to write my own books someday. I also love red shoes and wear them frequently.
