Felt and Fabric Flower Power!

30 Jul
Ribbon Flower

I went a little crazy making fabric flowers for Emmeline's hair just before her birthday photoshoot.  Pinterest sucked me in and there are so many great tutorials pinned on there.   I also love little hand-work  projects I can do on the couch in one evening.  It's so relaxing and satisfying to ...

Word Blocks

word block quilt on vintage linens

Alison asked for  free-pieced word blocks for her month in "Bee Happy".  The first block was our name and the second was a word that made us think of Alison, Bee Happy, or the LAMQG. Alison sent us lovely, soft vintage sheets and two colors of blue solids. For my name block, I planned it out ... View Post

Two Tiny Dresses

20 Jul

Emmeline's first birthday was coming up, and every little girl needs special dresses for her special day! I've been making clothing long before I ever began quilting, but for adults, not toddlers.  It's pretty much the same, just tiny (less fabric, yay!)  and kids are an easier fit. I adore Oliver ...
