Arcadia... Is this my 5th?

Let's see...

There was this one.

And this one.

Oh, and that one too.

Yes, and another over there.

Even some coasters.

I've loved this fabric line for a LONG time. 

Fabric line is Arcadia by Sanae for Moda.

I've been hoarding some quarter yard cuts and additional yardage. 

LOVE the backing print.

And especially those nested circles.

This one ended up being a large baby or small lap quilt size at 42.5" x 47".

In the shop. 

Time for a break

Just thought I'd share - finally.

He made it, perfectly, on Jan. 12, 2011.

Kayson Ellis Stanworth, 7 lbs. 0 oz. and 20 inches.

Me bundling him up in his quilt. I love it all around him. He is such a sweet little guy. He's everything I wanted!

I also crocheted this little hat for him - he gets cold so easily!

And now I guess I'll have my "maternity leave" from the sewing machine - I'm actually sending it out for a "tune up" which will take about 3 weeks.

And then... oh my! I'm sure I'll have more ideas and projects stored up that I'll be dying to do!

More Arcadia - in Hexagons

Well, I warned you I couldn't stop playing with this fabric!
Good thing I got enough to play with for a while since this stuff is really hard to come by...

It's 37" x 42.5" and in the shop as well.
The little one goes down for her nap here in a half hour...
What to do? What to do?

QUILT!
(of course.)

Posh

I've had a pretty good weekend for sewing - which makes for a pretty good weekend. :o)

I spent most of it sewing and singing "The Little Mermaid" songs to myself...

My daughter is obsessed with this movie and we have to watch it every other day.

Coasters in Arcadia by Sanae for Moda.

Can you tell I'm in love with this fabric yet?

I have another item to take photos of and share today too. :o)

The overcast sky has not made for good pictures...

Worth the wait?
These were such a treat to make.
I love having great fabric with which to play.
It makes sewing so much more enjoyable!
All in the shop.

Quilting Humor, More Arcadia, and Flutterby Quilt

A few new additions today!
The ever fashionable zigzag Flutterby (Tula Pink for Moda) baby quilt with appliqued ladybugs...

This is a variation on the quilt I did a while back posted here.
Another Arcadia (Sanae for Moda) table topper with assymetric squares in squares.
Straight line quilting - I'm really starting to like this quilting method more and more.
I love how stitching in the ditch defines the blocks.

A little conversation while browsing through the 500+ quilting blogs I follow...


me: What do you think of this one?
husband: It looks pixelated.
me: It's a quilt, moron!

And of course, they are in the shop as usual.

Nine Patch Arcadia Baby Quilt

Took me a week to get this posted.

I blame the weather (raining all last week), the trip to Dallas this weekend, and the cute little thing I chase around that makes me tired.

This one was so fun to make.

Arcadia by Sanae for Moda

Each square finishes at 1.5" x 1.5"

Quilt finishes at 41" x 41"

And check out the scrappy binding! Love!

And it is in the shop.
