Quilt Giveaway!


Never one to turn down a chance to win a free quilt! Go here to see all the details!

I have been sewing....

I just need to distribute a few things before I can post pictures. I have also been sorting and organizing fabric. I need to keep my momentum putting the sewing room back together. I have a few boxes of supplies I plan to send here. I have been really trying to determine what I love and what I want to let go of.

So for now here are a few things I did this week.

I made this table runner a few weeks ago, quilted it during Super Saturday, and finished binding it today. The fabric is Pumpkins Gone Wild, by Moda. The squares are from a charm pack, so super easy and fast going together. Even though it has some Halloween elements, I will probably leave it out until Thanksgiving.


Here is a pillowcase I made for Sophie's pillow. It's an Alexander Henry print I picked up a year or so ago in California. I love making the kids fun pillowcases for their travel sized pillows, the take about a half a yard of fabric and five minutes to make. Soph carried the pillow around all day, which was great, a cushion every time she fell.

Violet's quilt


The main paisley is Amy Butler. The turquoise has small turtles and is Anna Griffin. The white is minkee dot. I quilted it on my machine with loops and swirls.

Currently In Progress


Baby Kimono

I got this fabric at Jo-Ann's. There was less than a yard, but I really wanted to make something for Sophie to wear. I came across a tutorial that looked lovely. The top went together really easily and her instructions are very clear.


I plan on making more for her and she grows. And I love the pattern is easy to alter, I can easily add sleeves for winter, or lengthen it into a dress. So many possibilities.

Check this contest out!

I stumbled across this new line of fabric by Lila Tueller coming out in September. Lovely, I love the colors, the patterns, all of it really. I fully intend on buying a lot of it next month. I love her patterns as well. I will try and get one together and put up a review.
