Quilted Plus Pillow

13 Aug
Quilted Plus Pillow

When I was about 9 months pregnant, I kept seeing photos of"Plus" pillows on various blogs and being in a nesting mood, I decided that I MUST sew one.  I had only scraps left from Emmeline's baby quilt, so I took those and added in a few complimentary fabrics to get the job done. I really think ... View Post

Wonky Circle of Stars Quilt

7 Aug
Elephant baby quilt

Wendy and I have been best friends since we were teenagers (ok, SHE was a teenager and I was a wee bit older). We were roommates at Penn State, lived in Pittsburgh together, made the big move to Los Angeles, married 5 months apart, had baby boys 6 months apart and baby girls 2 months apart. We've ...

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 ...

Preppy Garden Fence Baby Quilt

17 Jul

My dear friend Debra was due with her second girl in April.  One of the first quilts I ever made was a stacked coin quilt for her older daughter, Annabelle. When I make a baby quilt, I try to match the personality of the mom, because I can't really tell what the baby is going to be like (though I ... View Post

Emmeline’s Stroller Quilt

28 Oct

I'm back from my blog maternity leave!  I didn't really mean to take one, but little-miss-30-minute-naps is keeping me pretty busy.  I've had time to work on several projects, though, so keep checking in, because I'm going to be getting caught up over the next few weeks. I finished Emma's stroller ... View Post

Fairy Tale Quilt DONE!

17 Mar

The quilt for the baby is done and I am really excited with how it turned out: I have to say, I think this is my very favorite quilt out of all the quilts I have made (which really isn't THAT many). It probably doesn't hurt that I merged my two all time favorite fabric designers: Heather Ross and ... View Post
