I promise I haven’t fallen off the face of the Earth. I have been very busy working on getting stuff made up for a show on November 27th. My wonderful husband and mother have been helping me get all of the stuff ready.
Hopefully I will have enough of a new product to debut it at this show. Fingers crossed. Can’t wait to show you the quilt I am working on as well.
My cousin and her husband welcomed to the world their first child over 9 years ago. As Lexi grew, it became apparent something wasn’t right. My cousin worked with physical and occupational therapists and Lexi underwent testing.
Muscular Dystrophy was the diagnosis. Over the years she has dealt with this disease and it’s negative side effects.
She has made a huge decision for her own health, have a major surgery to help her.
I’ve made quilts for plenty of kids through Project Linus. Since Lexi is being brave and undergoing surgery today, I wanted to make something could provide comfort from 1200 miles away.
She likes neon pink and green along with peace signs. Circles came to mind when I first contacted my cousin about making the quilt.
I hope this quilt provides warmth and comfort through a scary surgery for a young girl.
Etsy has just a trove of products that sometimes it’s hard to go through everything. Today I was bored at work and wanted to create something that my husband would want if he was on the site. I tried to combine his favorite things. Can you guess what they are?

Moda Eva is one of my favorite fabric lines. It’s girly and offers great shades of purple, green, and pink. Paisley, swirls, peacocks, polka dots, circles, and vines.
I’ve made potholders and quilts from this great line.
On the quilt I was really unsure what to do with it. Took a few different layouts on the design wall. The best layout is variegating the fabric from darkest to lightest. I think it turned out pretty well.
I LOVE making baby quilts. A very good family friend asked me to create a signature square quilt for the arrival of her grand daughter. She wanted greens and pinks. With this quilt I have officially gone through my bright pink fabric stash.
I started with a 1.5″ and 2.5″ strips of a variety of fabrics. Each square was completely different.
Needless to say grandma was happy with the end result.
Congrats!!!!
