Baby Jane

Oh my goodness. I can't figure out how I survived my "downtime" without quilting, but I think I'm making up for it these days. I had the annual "New Year's Resolution: FINISH all WIPs" moment like I'm sure ALL quilters do... and then, I nearly have! I was looking around my sewing space today and realized that I barely have enough unfinished projects to cover my design wall and sit in my machine! **insert maniacal laughter here** Yes, that is an accomplishment around here. :)  

So up first to enter the blog-o-sphere is this little number in Cosmo Cricket's Baby Jane fabric line for Moda. Very gender neutral. Very vintage adorable fabric. I just need the baby to go with it. HA! 

I love the motion this quilting design gives it.

And this one is in the shop since I don't have the perfect baby for it. Then again, when did I have time to quilt with babies around?

Pink Lemonade

My newest creation in Pink Lemonade by Tonga Treats.

My little who wanted to help... so I let her be Icarus. It looks like she's already too close and her wings are just starting to burn. 

And really, these batiks are BRILLIANT. 

I see lots of things when I look at these colors. 

Fire, sunsets, but mostly... 

Starburst candies? Seriously, reminds me of the Starbursts color combination. So much so that I had to go eat some. Thank goodness Halloween just happened and I had plenty of selection to rifle through for just the right thing. 

It ended up about 64" x 64" and it's in the shop. 

Comma Yellow and Grey

Well, the children sleep on so I'll keep typing.

You never know exactly when that will happen again.

If ever... 

So those other colors I pulled out of the fat quarter stack I bought at Quilt Festival ages ago were earmarked for this project.

Seriously fast and easy fat quarter quilt. 

I'd tell you when I'll have the pattern ready, but I'd just make myself a liar I'm sure.

In the shop.

Have you noticed my boxes?
Garlic, Onions, and Potatoes?
I was all twitterpated with them at the antique shop we went to the other night.
My husband asked me, "What are the junkie little boxes for?"
Haha. Men.

Comma Baby Quilt

Another little baby quilt. 

In Comma by Zen Chic for Moda.

I set aside many of the golds and greys in the line to create this concoction. 

 

In the shop.

The half square triangles in this quilt are the left overs from making the shared baby quilt for the twins. 

It only got a picture with Parker since he decided to mark his territory during this photo shoot.

Oddly enough (as seems to happen with most things I make) it's now being used by my older boy in place of his quilt that is still under construction.

Partly Cloudy

...with Sunnyside by Kate Spain for Moda.

Sunnyside is set to hit stores next month. 
I can't wait to get more of it... 
Especially the yardage.

(I got this fabric for doing something that I still need to share about. It seems like there just aren't any spare minutes these days to get to what I want to do... meh. Twins will do that to you.)

Windows Patchwork Pillow

So now that Christmas is long gone I can show you one of the things I made for my little brother who works for Microsoft. 

He's a programmer. 

Total geek.

So he needed some geekery.

Have you noticed the new Windows logo?

It looks a little something like this pillow. 

:) 

These scrappy log cabin blocks could be a really really really addictive way to use up scraps too. 

My goodness they were fun. 

Birds and Berries Part 2

I almost forgot to post this one. 

It's going under the tree for my little who for Christmas.

I think it will be a great little throw blanket for her future bedroom.

We move Dec. 22 - yeah, just in time to make Christmas MORE crazy. 

The fabric is Birds and Berries by Lauren and Jessi Jung for Moda.

I did exclude the purple colorway from the rest of the line. 

Oh I'm getting more excited for Christmas just looking at this!!! :D 

Cuzco

I've had a BLAST sewing this one. 

Such vibrant colors. 

A rainbow rectangular prism.

Fabric line is Cuzco by Kate Spain for Moda.
Love.
Makes me wish one of these babies was going to be a girl.

In the shop. SOLD.

Geared up.

I know what you're going to say...

a BOY baby quilt?

What happened?

Ha, just kidding.

It seems like most fabric lines just tend toward to the girl quilt...

This was a little fabric line by Benartex that I just couldn't quite pass up.

The checkerboard border.

Gears and dots. 

Very adorably boy fabrics.

Gears on the back in a different colorway.

Quilts + Flowers = Perfection.

:) 

And of course, the plaid binding.

It's in the shop.

Happy weekend stitching!!! 

Coral Salt Air

 I've been having fun this week with some half square triangles.

Specifically, the coral and gold colorways for the Salt Air by Cosmo Cricket for Moda.

This lantana and this fabric match almost too well!

The whole quilt.

Went with striped binding. 

Love striped binding.

I took picure this just for an excuse to take the kids to the railroad tracks. 

I love trains.

Yellow flowers on the back.

The straight line quilting shows up really well.

More beautiful blooms to match. :)

In the shop.
