The "cat-butt" quilt

Named because one of the fabrics has cats on it, and we didn't fussy-cut (cut to deliberately center the cat pictures) and once it was all assembled we realized we had a whole quilt with just kitty heinies showing for this fabric. OOPS! It's just a pieced top for now, it will eventually be batted and backed and become a small couch throw.

Yellow & Purple!

Tiny little security blankets with fun loops of ribbon around the edges! Too cute, and super snuggle-worthy. The yellow one is a patchworked scrappy-quilt front with a soft off white chenille backing, and the lavender one is a simple square of cute butterfly fabric with a super soft fluffy white backing. I love making these - they go together so quick, and its just the most fun baby gift for me.

Baby shower today!

I went to a baby shower today and brought a few homemade gifts with me:

First, a warm and fuzzy quilt for baby to snuggle in:

And a sturdy ring-sling to carry baby around in:

And as modeled by my dear, sweet, patient husband to show it being used as a breastfeeding cover-up:
And with the "Oops I made one too many blocks" quilt block, I used a soft fuzzy backing and made a little ribbon-loop security blanket:

I've been busy!

Just a quick update: I'm working on adding more items to my Etsy store, I'm also in the middle of a huge baby blanket rush, so bear with me as II'm not posting much these days.

Some recently made ribbon-loop blankies:


I've also been busy making lots of these, as they are fun to make and go together quickly.

Joeys quilt

A small quilt/wall-hanging that I made for my grandmother for Christmas. This was my first foray into applique and for a first attempt, I'm pretty happy with it:

Maggies quilt - It's not the best picture, because it never occured to me to take pictures of her with her quilt at Christmas in Alabama - but this is the finished top laid out on our dining room table. I need to come up with a better way to get quilt pictures. I also need to take pictures of the quilts I make before I give them away. I made 6 quilts for christmas, and I only have pictures of this one.
