Grrr...

I almost have a new - and awesome - quilt all the way finished. But... after I quilted it, I was SO unhappy with a few of the rows (how it looked on the back) that I wanted to weep every time I looked at it.

So...

Here I am unpicking a few seams. Sometimes, it feels like you unsew as much as you sew. It'll be done soon, though!! Stay tuned!

Cruisin'

I finished not one but TWO quilts out of that adorable Wheels fabric. But today, I will debut the first - a quilt I have named Cruisin'.



I love this design, with the dramatic white background and the cute little car appliques! For this one I used the polyester batting which is very fluffy - so this is a thick and fluffy baby boy quilt! Very comfy!!


The backing fabric is a cute road design, that makes the back as cute as the front!


I am proud to announce that this one is in the shop! My first listing! =D

Sneak Peek...

I have an obsession with little boy quilts. There just never seem to be enough GOOD little boy fabric and quilts. So, my next project uses this adorable line - Wheels by Riley Blake...


Stay tuned for the finished projects! These will likely be the first in the Shop!!

The Hexagon Quilt

I can hardly believe that I made this! And - hip hip hooray - it's done!!!!! Check her out -





Awesome, yes?!?

Little dresses

Here's a little dress I made for my best friend's new baby girl! I just love this pattern!!

So much that I had to do another!


I couldn't help myself. I just love this pattern too much! Too. Cute!

Butterflies!

So, I finally finished the princess's butterfly quilt! I went back and forth on the quilting and finally decided to splurge on professional quilting. Then I stressed for two weeks that the design was going to be awful. Auri wanted flowers. But, we got it back and it turned out really nice. I finished binding it today and got it hung up on her wall!


Looks cute, doesn't it?! (and do you see those lovely paintings? I did those a few years back? lol! They work really well with the quilt too!!)

And - while we're on butterflies, I finished the second butterfly quilt and got it sent off. The sweet gal that bought it from me was really happy with it (she said she LOVED it!) and her sister (who she gave it to) really loved it too! She said she is going to hang it on her new baby girl's wall. So, Yea! Here are some pictures of the second butterfly quilt.




I have to say that this one (#2) was probably the best quilt I have ever made. It went smoothly and every square looked good! I was really happy with it!
