Christmas in July!

27 Jul

  I have SO many projects lined up to work on right now, but I saw this advent quilt designed by Elizabeth at Oh Fransson on Sew, Mama, Sew's Blog today and I had to add one more to the queue!  Elizabeth always designs the most adorable quilting projects and I feel like a total groupie, because ...

Spool Bird Mobile, Take 2!

24 Jul

Oh gosh, I FINALLY finished the bird mobile for my friend (her baby is a month old...eeek!).  Between not being motivated due to the heat and balancing issues with the branches, it has taken me WAY too long.

Quilted Mod Baby Blanket

8 Jul

I am OBSESSED with quilting and I want to quilt every piece of fabric that I see right now.  When my friend, Wendy, had her baby back in February, I was just coming off of working 12 hour days plus morning (noon and night) sickness, so I didn't get to make anything for her super-adorable baby, Ben. ...

Finished Baby Quilt!

23 Jun

I finally finished the baby quilt! I am really pleased with how it turned out.  The free-motion quilting was not as difficult as I thought it would be (once I got the hang of it) and sewing the applique on was a breeze.   The back of the quilt is pale blue Minky Dot and it is SOOOOOO soft!  I ...

Easy “Custom” Curtains

11 Jun
Easy custom DIY baby curtains

I was originally planning on making all the bedding and curtains for the nursery, but being pregnant has made me a little tired and lazy (plus I want to concentrate on the fun items, like the quilt and a bird mobile).  I am VERY slowly working on the quilt (which will probably serve as a wall ...
