Tada! I present to you: the baby's new quilt. With some help from my Facebook peeps I decided on a herringbone quilt design, and I love how it turned out! I saw the idea here, and there is a pattern for it, but as usual, I thoroughly winged it. I have only followed a quilt pattern....er pretty much never...I'm a rebel what can I say? (the lamest … [Read more...]
Sadie’s quilt
Hallelujah! I finally managed to finish Sadie's quilt, which I only started when she was a baby...that's all. And yes she's 3 1/2 now. In my defense, it was too big to quilt on my little machine, and I couldn't find a reasonable deal to have it sent off or too have somewhere local quilt it. Then my mom and dad joined this cool shop with all kinds … [Read more...]
wee little airplane quilt
Gasp, a boy project! I had so much fun making this little quilt for a friend's son. She requested airplane fabric, so I searched around and found this on Etsy. I just love the vintage vibe, and little labels for all the different airplanes! If we ever have a boy, I want to make him something out of this fabric. Hmm should have bought extra. ( It … [Read more...]
little dolly quilt
I had it on good authority (me and Santa's tight, yo) that Charlotte was getting a baby doll for Christmas (baby Sleeping Beauty to be exact, man, that Santa is so informative), so I decided to make a quick doll quilt for her, after all, Sadie has a few so Charlotte surely deserves one of her own! Plus, I had a new tumbler die for my Go Baby … [Read more...]
baby shower gifts
So you saw the shower I co-hosted for my pal Aimee, right? So....I kind of went a little handmade crazy for her present. I couldn't help it! Baby girl stuff is just too much fun to make. My favorite part of her gift was this little quilt I made for baby Penny. It's not pieced, obviously, just two yards of fabric layered with batting and quilted, … [Read more...]
works in progress…
Hey, all! How was your weekend? Mine was busy and fun! I thought I'd show you some of my works in progress right now. (of course there are a million-point-five projects on the eventual to-do list, but we'll see which ones get done, eh?) The other day, Sadie and I walked down to a garage sale down the street from our house, and I found this … [Read more...]
circle quilt square tutorial
I know the holidays are still months away, but I couldn't help getting started on my big project this year-a Christmas quilt! You may have seen some of the fabric I got for it here, and I also added in some other prints from my stash, Etsy, and Joann's. (stash-red polka dots, Joann's red snowflakes, etsy-reindeers) I decided to go for a circle … [Read more...]
my new baby…
lol, just to be clear, I am SO not pregnant, but did I getcha? Even a little bit? nope? oh well. That's what I get for pulling such a lame "joke". Anywho, I was referring to my new GO! Baby cutter that the nice folks at AccuQuilt sent me! I admit, I was a little intimidated by the box when it arrived, thinking it would be hard to figure out...but … [Read more...]
little "quilt"
I made this little "quilt" for my serger the other day. My thinking is that it hopefully will help muffle the noisiness of the serger when I really get 'er rip. (Since I usually sew during kiddos sleepy time.) This fabric makes me smile every. single. time. I see it! Gorgeous, huh? It's Amy Butler's Peacock Feathers (in sea glass) from her … [Read more...]
