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...
