Its all true, the boogie girl is real, and you've found her. She knits, sews, spins, does pottery and writes it all down in this blog.

Cheater's Quilt?
Kayleigh came into this world a bit early and only weighing a little over 5 lbs. Right now she's spending time in an incubator but when she comes out soon this will keep her warm.
I call this Cheater's quilt because it seems like such an easy way to do a quilt. I pieced the top (notice the squares with sheepies), then machine quilted it onto a polar fleece backing. Lastly, I edged it in satin that all kids seem to really like. Every kid I've ever known, except little M, has loved blankets with this edging. And for a little extra I appliqued little fleece hearts in each corner.
I want one of these for me. I think is going to become my signature gift to give to new babies. It was quite simple and it seems like it will be so warm and nice. the perfect Binky to carry around and around until it falls apart.
