How I Became Shared Jelly

When my husband and I first got married we used to get messages on our answering machine for "Shared" and "Jelly" instead of Jared and Shelly. The first time we chuckled a little over it and by the fourth or fifth time, we decided the name should stick somewhere. And so, I've been sharing jelly all over the internet since. Enjoy!

Chevron Quilt

I finally got around to making a chevron quilt for my son's room.  I knew that I wanted to do this - it was what inspired me to do the zig-zag stripe around his room.

I got the idea from The Crafty Cupboard:

I wish mine turned out as perfect as hers. I found out that finding orange fabric at Joann's is really hard. They have very little to choose from and I used mainly fat quarters and solid colors.  Should have kept to lighter prints, too.  Oh well, it still has the overall effect I wanted.
Just new curtains left for this room makeover to be complete!
