Little Birdy Quilt



I made this cute "birdy" quilt for a friend who was very sick.   She was so happy when I showed up at her door and handed it to her.  It made me feel happy to!  That's the best part about quilts - giving them away to people you love and care about!!! 
I love the hand-stitched birdy legs!
 
There is flannel on the back & some pieces of the main fabric pieced in there too.  Don't mind the kid's toys in the backyard :)

Halloween Owl Softies


The owls just keep getting cuter! This time we've added a 15" large owl to the family. Altogether we made 36 owls.

Quilt for my Sister-in-Law

I helped my sister-in-law sew this quilt when we were together. I took it home and quilted it for her. It turned out really cute! I love the colors - they are very "her".

End of the Year Teacher Gifts

One of Ella's teachers is a boy - so I didn't know what to give him. He has a 2-yr old, so I thought I would whip up one of the "sally" dresses - turned out cute - he loved it!For Ella's other teacher, I made a cute quilted zippered bag. It was my first time quilting - I had several problems with it - but in the end it turned out darling.
Ella made some bottle cap pendants to go inside the purse - I love these.

4th of July Dresses


I made all the cousins matching 4th of July outfits. The smaller girls got the T-shirt dresses and the older girls got the skirt/shirt combo. I love the fabric and they all look so cute together.

4th of July Quilt


My Liberty Quilt is finished! I love this Moda Red, White, and Bold line. I wish they would have it forever! I also love pinwheels - and I like them mixed in with solid blocks so you can really see the pinwheel. Lately I have been appliqueing words in my quilts. I also love the scrappy border - just pick up what's left on the floor when you finish your quilt top and make a border!

A Circus Theamed Baby Shower

My friend, Mary, is having her first baby - we threw her a "Circus" baby shower last night.


I made Mary this cute polka dot quilt - I didn't want to cut the fabric up, so I just quilted it. On the back is blue polka dot flannel - it's like a receiving blanket quilt! It matched the "Circus" theme shower so cute!
We had popcorn, darling mini cupcakes,
Cotton Candy,
and caramel apples that you top yourself (nuts, chocolate chips, toffee & sprinkles)

Then we played a few circus inspired games and opened gifts. It was super fun!

Fabric Headband





I made a fabric headband to match Sally's "T-Shirt" dress. I made the flowers from cut up pieces of t-shirts. They are really cute - I think I will be making lots of these!
