Hard to believe summer is just about over. Even for this year! Since we couldn't travel international and had to cancel our Hawaii trip due to COVID, we figured this is the best time to do more domestic traveling. A couple weeks ago, we took a road trip to Wyoming. We camped a few days… Continue reading Yellowstone/ Wyoming Trip
Author: Julie's Creations
Hello! My name is Julie, I am very crafty and I love to quilt! I currently live in Denver, Colorado, but I was born and grew up in Virginia. My sewing journey began in 2009 where I started making handbags and I have participated in several craft shows/markets in Virginia and Colorado.
I began quilting in 2020, and since then quilting has been my main focus. I have made several quilts from modern, improve, lap quilts to mini quilts. In 2023 I became a member of the Denver Metro Quilt Guild. Besides sewing, in my spare time I love to weave, take photos, bake, hike, ski, attend craft/art shows, and spend time with my husband and my dog Lilly. My blog mostly focuses on my creations and inspirations, but once and awhile, I will blog about my trips and travel adventures. My goal is to share and inspire everyone who is reading. Enjoy!

New King Quilt
Last week, I finished a new quilt! This one I managed to make it king sized! Our bedroom needed some more color, so I thought this would be the best time to gather my scraps of fabric and make a patchwork quilt for our bed. This took me about 2 months to make, and I… Continue reading New King Quilt
Hiking a 14er
This hike actually took place about 4 weeks ago. We just love to torture ourselves by getting up at 3:00 am to hike a 14er at the crack of dawn (to avoid any afternoon thunderstorms)! The 14er we hiked was at Grays Peak, located about 2 hours west of Denver. The views were beautiful and… Continue reading Hiking a 14er

8 Mile Hike
Because of the pandemic and social distancing, I can safely say that we will be doing plenty of hiking and camping this summer...which is okay!

1st Backpacking trip of 2020
A few weeks ago we went on our first backpacking trip of the year. We hiked into Pike National Forest which is about 2 hours outside of Denver, and after 6 miles of hiking we camped for one night. These trails had amazing mountain views, with several unique looking rocks. Some of these rocks had… Continue reading 1st Backpacking trip of 2020
