Baby Memory Quilt

 She gave me this...

And I gave her this...

What sweet memories have been saved in the quilt!  I took 30 baby outfits and created this 32x42 quilt.  The mom wanted it bordered and backed with purple.  This quilt has been machine quilted around each block.  I love how it turned out!

Fabric Finds

Look at this great loot I found! All yard or 1/2 yard cuts. That cute little Eric Carle caterpillar is 44 inches long, there's a sunrise you cannot see folded under. He was an amazing find :)
I also found these precious girl prints... Purses, dots, and little girls. So sweet!

I am thinking of little baby quilts to sell out of these :)

I have some more awesome fabric I've picked up recently that I need to get a photo of and put on the shelf.  Check back for fabric updates!

The Force Is Strong

My husband loves Star Wars and I love quilting, so imagine my surprise when I saw this on Pinterest!

Happy October

I love October!  It is my favorite month, state fair, fall weather, my birthday, fall break, etc, etc.  This little cutie is from the book Count On It by Art to Heart.  It is a mini quilt (12x12) hanging on a great little frame from ackfield.  Each letter and bat was machine appliqued on.  I just love the color combo on this one!

Capes!

How much fun would a kid have with these capes?  LOTS!  I have 2 or 3 of each design:  Robots backed in blue, black and green, Zebra Hearts backed in black and pink polka dot, and Space Capers backed in green and blue!


Each have colored Velcro closures at the neck and are the perfect weight for flying around the house!

Craft Fair

I did my first craft show today.  It was a great experience and hope to do more!

Here's a look at my tent from the front.  I just love the appliqued sign I made.

I wish I would have brought a bigger table and had a neater tablecloth...

You can see my t-shirt quilt hanging in the background.

Up close of the table with the bib and burp cloth sets.  I also had an apron for sale along with my photo book.










Here's my Christmas Quilt and a view of the capes and onesies hanging up.

Little League Quilt

I think I am going to title this quilt the Little League Quilt.  I gathered these shirts to make a sample to take with me to craft fairs.  I have wanted to do one of these type of quilts for a long time.  I think it would be neat to have a quilt made up of your child's sports shirts.  What great memories!

Here is an up close with the corner turned up so you can get a little peek of the back...

Bibs and Burp Cloths

I am in love with these little boy prints...

The dinosaur bib and burp cloth are backed in a soft red flannel.

The robot set is backed with soft royal blue flannel

Little girl sets.  I have 2 of the brown and pink strips.  Each burp cloth is striped on one side, soft chocolate brown on the other.  The bibs are striped on one side and brown and white dots on the opposite.  They are reversible.

In the middle we have a fun floral print.  The burp cloth is backed in a white t-shirt material and the bib is backed in hot pink.

Spring Strings

I am in love with my newest quilt.  I just love everything about it.  The colors, the pattern, the binding, the quilting, etc, etc, etc.  I even love the back!  It is machine pieced, machine quilted, and hand bound.

Baby Gift Set

I had someone contact me about a baby gift set.  The set contained 2 appliqued long sleeve onesies, a burp cloth, tri-fold changing pad, and a reversible bib.

Merry Christmas (in August)

I am in love with my newest quilt... It has 2 different types of quilting on it.  Stitch in the ditch around the polka dot and Christmas tree borders and stippling around all the letters in Merry Christmas.  I also appliqued every letter for Merry Christmas on the quilt.  I just love how it turned out.

I used lots of different prints for the front.  The red dots are Riley Blake

The back is just as cute to me.  I love those skating elves!  This is Ice Skating Elves in Moss/Aqua.  It is part of last years 12 Days of Christmas line by Moda.

Here's an upclose on the binding and elf print.

Arrrrggg! A Pirate Cape for T

I had a request to make a very cute little pirate cape for a special little guy turning 2.

Here is the pattern I traced out...

 And here it is complete with an appliqued T and a velcro closure at the top.

And here's the action shot :)

Seuss on the Loose Complete!

It's complete and I am in love with it... So cuddly, colorful and cute!
















I think I live the back just as much as the front.  Those reds and whites together just look so great!















Here's another up close of the binding, this time on the back.  I just love how the colors compliment each other.

And my faithful assistant checking out the craftsmanship...

Custom Pilllows

I had a sweet neighbor Facebook that she wanted some pillows made and of course I jumped on it!  I think they turned out great!  I love the fabric choice.

I think they look good on my couch Julie! :)

Here is an up close on the hidden zipper.  This will make it much easier for Julie to clean the pillowcases.

And a business card attached to each pillow in the corner. I just love those cute little cards!

Thanks so much Julie!

Stephanie's Quilt Pillow

I've been waiting to post this until Stephanie received it as I didn't want to ruin the surprise!  She washed her grandmother's quilt and it was ruined beyond repair.  She asked me to do something with it and this is what I came up with for her.

I took 4 of the quilt blocks from the quilt and put them together.  I picked the ones without any major damage.  I also found a teeny, tiny blue flower print to use for the back.  I once again did an envelope design.

Envelope Pillows

My couch needed some new pillows but I wanted something that I could wash when they got dirty.  This is what I came up with.

What I like best is the back.  Both pieces of fabric overlap and makes an envelope design.  This make the pillowcase removable for easy cleaning!

In the above picture you can see that I have opened up the "envelope" to show the pillow form inside.

Fabric Bookmarks

My sweet husband who is an avid reader requested some fabric bookmarks.  Lots of sports themed ones for my husband and one little penguin one for me :)

Happy Fourth of July Cake

I made a sweet little 4th of July cake to celebrate this great holiday...

A festive, tasty inside
