An Earthy Quilt

A friend of ours ordered an "Earthy" quilt for his mom for her birthday. Here's what I came up with... The border and sashing was the color palette for the rest of the quilt, I just love that print.


Ready to go!


Thanks Clint! Hope your mom loved it!

Lanyards

My friend and I had ugly lanyards, so I decided to fix that problem :)

A Baby Boy's Quilt

A friend from High School contacted me about making a quilt for her on the way baby boy! I was excited to make a baby quilt, there is so many wonderful prints out there for children! She already had her theme, sports. After checking out all the available fabric in our area, I went with all baseball prints. I think it is precious!

I love the way the stripes make it playful and really let you focus on the fabrics. It is backed with a super soft flannel and is quilted with a low loft batting to make it extra cuddly!

Cindy's Vacation Quilt

Cindy wanted another quilt made, this time with her shirts she had saved from vacations she's taken. I think it turned out really really well! It is backed with soft flannel and is very cuddly and cute! You can see in the center that I took the pocket designs from 4 shirts and combined them to make 2 blocks.

3 Quilts for Christmas

I had an order a couple weeks before Christmas for 3 couch sized quilts. I had specific directions on one (Tennessee fabric on the back, Orange and White front) and for the other 2 was more of whatever I would like to do :)

Here's the College Spirit University of Tennessee Quilt

I like how the orange is double the size of the white :)

Here's the second one... blues and whites for this persons mother

Excuse the wrinkles :) It was very late when these pictures were taken...

Here's the third one... My Favorite

I am going to admit Dan, it was really hard to mail this one! I love every piece of fabric used in this quilt! What colors!

CCQuilts has been Feaured!

CCQuilts has been featured on another blog... Momfessions!

Shelia has has a blog carnival for the last week with different gift ideas, my t-shirt quilts were mentioned under the Something Different category.

Another idea for something different for gifts:

-Etsy.com: A fabulous website of handmade items. I have given and received gifts from Etsy and have always been so pleased with what I have bought. The garters for my wedding were ordered from Etsy at a great price. You can find any and everything on Etsy!

-Stationary and Stamps: I love writing cards and notes. There is just something about recieving real mail and knowing someone took the time to create something so special.

-Green Gifts: We all want the world be better place, why not express it in gifts? A cute reusable shopping tote, some new energy efficent light bulbs, stationary on recycled paper, the ideas are endless!
