Sewing Weekend

 
I took time this weekend to catch up on a little sewing. I had two minky blankets that needed topstitching and a zipper replacement that needed to be wrapped up. Additionally, I always have unfinished projects hanging around that beg for my attention. I even have projects that aren't even started, but just lie in wait. I will NEVER be out of things to sew!

I pieced the top together back in March but just finally got to quilting this one. This is a fun little quilt with elephants, monkeys, birds, frogs, lions, alligators, rhinos and giraffes. The quilt includes grays, blues, greens and oranges and would be suitable for a boy or girl. Backed with a modern gray tone-on-tone chevron print.  It is for sale in my shop!


 
This is one of the minky blankets that got it's topstitching. I loved the bright airplane pattern on this one. I think the red minky really complements the red in the planes.


This is half of a quilt top that has been waiting to be worked on. I will post more pics of this as it takes shape.

 
This little jacket got a new zipper!

It always feels good to finish things and I will keep adding to my inventory in anticipation of the holidays coming up. Stay tuned!

Jillian's Quilt



This quilt had been in process for far too long! I struggled to find a pattern I liked and then just kept putting it off. This was the final result! Super colorful, fun gray and while polka dot for the back and a green binding to tie it all together. I hope Jillian loves it!




Custom Orders

You probably already know I love custom orders! I also love when someone sees fabric I have hoarded purchased and already know they want something made from it before I know what it will become! Having a client shop my stash is a good way to make room for new fabric too!

These two blankets are shipping out tomorrow to Washington and Colorado. Owls and unicorns--does it get any sweeter than that??
