NICEY JANE SIBLINGS!

Nicey Jane is by far my most favourite fabric EVER (at least so far). I've made two quilts plus one top with lots and lots left over for more!!

Nicey Jane Girl!

Nicey Jane Boy!

I'm not sure why...perhaps it's the colours...but this is my favourite quilt so far that I have made! It wasn't really planned but it came together perfectly. I also like the small block size (5 inches). I don't know why but I have an aversion to large blocks - perhaps because they use up too much of my precious fabric stash. This quilt may be a little on the small side, but it's so darn cute!!! Little woodland creatures, polka dots, etc. I'm trying to take my pictures outside - I think the colours might come through a little better. Thanks to my wonderful husband for helping me!

PASTELS ANYONE?!

I wanted to get this little quilt posted today for Easter. Not finished yet - just the binding to do! I've had this fabric for ages and haven't been able to figure out what to do with it. I finally found a simple pattern and pulled out my fabrics and realized how much I love them! (Unfortunately, they didn't photograph well - it's hard to tell just how soft and pretty they really are.) I think I have enough for a few more baby quilts - I think some simple patchwork will work just fine.

Happy Easter everyone!

Look what I got!!!

These were waiting for me on Monday when I got home from work. I thought I would take their picture before they have their bath later today!

These are part of the Nicey Jane collection and came all the way from New York courtesy of Hawthorne Threads. They are so soft and pretty and have the vintage look that I so love. I've always had problems cutting into such pretty fabric but I have lots of plans for these babies!
