Dr. Seuss on the Loose Quilt

I had a very good friend talk me into buying this  Dr. Seuss Kit from Linderella's Quilt Works.  I had wanted it for so long, but couldn't justify buying it.  Thanks to a 20% off coupon, I was able to get it without feeling so guilty!  So this week, I put my mind to it and finished the top!  I am waiting until I take a stippling class next week to quilt it.


The Whole Quilt Top

Top Section 



Middle Section
 
Bottom Section
I love it!  I can't wait to pick out the backing fabric and get this cutie completely finished!
I plan to hang it in my 1st grade classroom or in my sewing studio.

iPad 2 Sleeve

Made this cute little sleeve to match my iPad 2.  It is lined with fleece and has batting in the middle for extra protection.  I also added a small pocket to the front for the cords.

A Wedding Cake...

So I branched out for a dear friend and made a wedding cake.  Top layer was white cake with buttercream, middle is red velvet with cream cheese icing, and the big bottom layer is white cake with buttercream.  The cake is covered with homemade marshmallow fondant to achieve a very smooth look.  The bride wanted a ribbon at the bottom of each layer and little dots all around the edge. 
Thanks to our good friends at Waterhouse Studios for the wonderful picture!

Do or Do Not, There is No Try


This was a cute little triple chocolate cake with buttercream icing for my little brother's High School Graduation.  I went with a very simple design, and a Star Wars theme.  I thought for my first attempt at fondant it turned out great.

2 Twinkie Cowgirls

This was a sweet little custom order for a premie set of twin girls.  Their Daddy calls them twinkies, so the idea for this came from that.  Two long sleeve onesies with cuffs and matching yo-yo headbands.





Here is an upclose of the yo-yo headband.  Sweet little lace elastic with a yellow yo-yo, with a button in the center.

Dino-mite!

These were a custom order for a sweet sister that wanted to get something original for her brother for his birthday.  What a neat idea!





Wrapped and ready for delivery!
















Update!  Just got a quick picture of the two of them in their shirts!  Too much fun!

Whoooo's Cute Little Onesie?

Check out this cute little fellow!

This was a custom order for a baby gift and since the gift has been given I can finally post it!  I just love how he turned out.  Whooooo knew that green would be so flattering for an owl? :)
Here's an upclose of the fabrics and design.  I used AngelLea on Etsy for this precious owl design.

He would also look good as a she with a sweet heart on the belly.  I have tons and tons of cute fabrics for this one!
