Wally the Alligator

Did I ever mention that I did in fact finally get the Wally the Alligator pattern together?

Well just in case I didn't I wanted to be sure that I finally informed everyone. 

He's a fun guy to sew up and that kids love to feed him their toys! Ours is currently holding some of the million balls that we own (how do they keep multiplying?!?!)

Find him here in the shop! 

Or if making isn't your thing you can buy him here.

Another quilt in the shop.

Seriously I could make quilts all day... unfortunately (fortunately?!) I have babies to take care of... lol 

Berry Stripe Quilt and some crack....

This yummy quilt is up in the shop!

Shot cotton is a new favorite for me. Especially mixed with linen.

I really have to resist the urge to keep every quilt... Moo!

 This boy LOVES the water... any water.... even a cup of water

 every post should have some crack... seriously have to remember to put sunscreen there! 

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

The Mini Version

As previously mentioned. I made a smaller baby size quilt for the shop. 

After focusing on special orders for so long it's nice to make something just because for the shop again... 

Thank You!

Thank you everyone for the well wishes on this newest adventure. 

Most of all, thank you Joan, Katelyn and Amy for being my first customers! 

I hope you enjoy your new bags.

I've Finally Did It!

With some help from a sweet girl......

I've opened an Etsy shop.

Tell me what you think!

Let's see if I can keep this up! 

My Sis Has an Etsy Shop!

I am very excited that Sherie has finally taken the plunge. Go see her awesome creations, you won't be sorry. Where did she get her logo? Jessica of course!

One down, so many to go......

Finally finished one of the quilt tops..... Ok, I only tied this one instead of quilting it, but it counts. I will put it up in the shop and hope it inspires someone. Speaking of the shop, I just want the crew to know that you all have been VERY inspired this week! What fun ideas we have come up with in the last few days. If we can even get half of them done, it will be great, but I think we can do it all! Can't wait to see your butterflies hung Jennifer, Katelyn was working hard to try and finish them.... Then there is the new fabric...... YUM! See ya'll tomorrow!

Why does jet lag have to hurt so much?

I think I am almost over it....

I had such a fantastic time in Portland at the Spring Market! I could NOT have done it if my sister hadn't come with me. It was overwhelming and idea provoking. The fabrics were fantastic, the designers, friendly. I have yet to really go over what fabric I purchased. If I remember right, it was a lot. I just hope that what I am remembering is as wonderful as I thought it was at the show....... ha ha. Jennifer, Katelyn and I did manage to get most of the fabric rearranged in the shop today. I am expecting the first shipment of the bali batiks to be here soon.

So now, here at home, I have all these ideas running through my head. Things I am dying to try. Have I written all of them down?? Ha! I will, but before I do that, I am trying to finish something I started. It will be a baby quilt. I used a new (to me) template that I thought people here might like. The fabric is Basic Blue by Paintbrush Studio. I didn't order this fabric, but I might... what do you think?

Jessica is on Etsy!

Yes, my really lovely, talented, sweet baby girl now has a shop on Etsy. You can see her under my favorites. So far she makes the growth charts I wrote about earlier. Who knows what will come next. She has a clever mind. Gets that from her dad.... Good news is she is nice too! Gets that from me..... ha ha No really, she is one of my most favorite people in the world and she has a great husband. Good taste also runs in the family...
Go, check out her shop, do it NOW!

No time to blog

It was a long week...... I started off with so much energy and today feel as if the life was sucked out of me. Monday we got a pattern in that Jennifer told me about. It is called Turning Twenty by Tricia Cribbs. I was so excited about the pattern, I bought fat quarters from our Fresh Cut line and went home to sew. Around 8 that night I finally had time to start cutting. I cut and sewed for three hours that night, then got up, sewed for two more the next morning and was done with the top. I really like the way it went together! Even though I only had eight different fat quarters instead of twenty, it looks great. Kelly told me to hang it in the shop, I complained that it was not complete but did it anyway and before I could get it hung, two people asked for the book! Kelly loves being right... I have yet to get a good picture of it but I will post the one I have. This is an addictive quilt style, I have started picturing all of our lines done in it. Anyone out there need a quilt? I may have several to choose from.....

A Kitty is Born

If you have read Jenny P.'s blog, you know she has links to a lot of fun sites. While looking at Wee Wonderfuls I came across Pointy Kitty. After working on the Cathedral Window quilt, I needed something silly to occupy my time. I got him mostly-done Sunday night and realized I had run out of stuffing. As I was working yesterday, it was no problem to spend yet more money at the shop. So last night I completed my little Tom cat. He is surrounded by a bed of the little flowers I am obsessed with crocheting. I am bringing him to work with me for safety reasons. Brinkley, my lovely golden, thinks I made it for him even though he has his own live cat. Evie,the afore mentioned clever yet wicked cat, seems jealous so there is no telling what she has planned. Hope you like him. Maybe you will spot him somewhere in the store......
