TOO CUTE FOR WORDS!

I stumbled on a pattern for these kimono baby shoes on Etsy and couldn't resist. Although I don't consider myself a 'sewer' per se, I've decided to challenge myself with some new things! These were a little fiddly but worth the effort. A great way to use up larger scraps (they are completely reversible). What's next? A wrap skirt for me and perhaps even a top! Eek!

MY FIRST COMMENT!

Wow - I have a comment!!! Could a giveaway be coming soon?

SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT!!

This quilt was a bit of a challenge for several reasons. I just couldn't get a grasp on the "sideways" orientation. I am used to looking at my quilts up and down! I started quilting this with straight sideways lines about 1" apart. I wasn't happy with the look so after about 25 lines decided to try something else. After about an hour with the stitch ripper I decided to go with an overall meanding pattern which is still my favourite. Overall, I like the finished quilt. I think the vibrant colours look great. Not sure if I will make another one of these but thought I'd try something a little different for a change!

WHAT'S NEXT

I'm in LOVE LOVE LOVE with this quilt!!! It's next on my to do list!

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!

FAVOURITE QUILT SO FAR!!!

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!
