Lovey Giraffes Quilt Pattern

Whew, what a day. 

I can't wait to show you what's in my "fabric lab" right now. 

But it will have to wait until I finish it and get some energy up for pictures. 

And for those interested in getting their own lovey giraffe quilt...

Now available here and here.

Nite!

Easter! For me!

So the hubs and I were having a discussion about decorating seasonally around the house and I mentioned that after Valentine's it's pretty much time to decorate for Easter, then there's the flag decor holidays... blah, blah, blah... 

His response was that people don't decorate for Easter until April... 

What? 

Sometimes Easter is in March! 

Seriously, I don't know why he vocalizes his ideas. 

And sure enough, Easter comes March 31st this year.

HA! I win. 

And that's the most important thing in a marriage.

;) hehe.

Back to the point of this post.

I have some Easter decor for my house now!!!

Yay!

And that's where it's supposed to be... only on top of a table. 

The table has been ordered and is (hopefully) going to arrive in a week or so. 

Oh the joys of an empty new house and a serious deficiency of furniture... 

Striped Diamonds

See, I had a LOT of fun with that fabric.

Strip heaven.

I made paper pieced diamond strip blocks out of them.

And I used the same fabric for the backing as the giraffe applique quilt. 

Look at all those happy strips. :)

It is also in the shop.

Giraffe Love

My brain is stuck in baby mode. 

It doesn't matter if it's a boy quilt or a girl quilt... it just ends up being a baby quilt in my head. 

I'll have to force myself out of this streak sooner or later... 

My mom has an obsession with giraffes and buys all sorts of giraffe baby stuff for my kiddos so I can't wait to show her this one!

Cute little modern stylized giraffes.

Love.

The fabric is from a fat quarter bundle sent to me by Joyce at Jellen's house of fabric for some sewing fun. 

And believe me, I've had fun with it!

Applique up close.

Hanging out.

Ready for snuggling!

For the backing and borders I went with an "In the Beginning" dots print. 

They remind me of googly eyes. 

In the shop.

Blocks

So my cute little niece needed some blocks too. 

Some of Kate Spain's Central Park would make even a crying baby happy, right? :)
