Come On Summer!!

Is anyone else getting sick of winter? I have had enough of the cold, the snow, the having to bundle up 2 kids every time we leave the house, come on summer!!

I am thinking of warmer weather and one of our favorite summer activities...going to the beach. Our family loves the beach, the kids love the 3 "S's", Sun, Sand and Swimming!!! so I was inspired to add a new product to my expanding lineup... hooded beach towels (also great for the bath, but I am thinking summer remember). As always, the first ones usually go to my kids or my friends kids... so here is one for my little dude, complete with name embroidery!!

This towel measures 30" by 54" with a hood attached. This size is great for kids up to age 5 (and maybe older depending on their size). The hood is embroidered with the underside hidden so that it is not scratching the child's head when its worn. The hood is also trimmed in a cute blue and lime green fabric and stitched with a fun decorative stitch.

My cute little model, fits perfect with lots of room to grow.... now all we need is some sun and sand!!! Come on Summer....

These towels will be available on my website shortly and I am offering free embroidery for a limited time. The towels come in lots of great colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, white, brown, black. Lots of fabrics to chose from!!

My busy weekend!!

Here is what I was up to this weekend. This cute fabric arrived on Friday and was already reserved for a custom order hooded baby towel and car seat canopy.

These hooded towels are my new favorite baby gift idea. Two of my friends and my daughter have already benefited from this cute little idea. When I originally started to make these I thought that they would be the perfect size for a baby and well into toddlerhood. Well maybe its just me and my oddly tall children, but this size of towel was no good for my 3 1/2 year old!! (they will be better suited to the age of 2). So I put my creative skills to the test and I will soon be offering larger hooded towels for "big kids", I would say 2 years and up. I have purchased the supplies and just need to find the time to whip up two of them (one for each kid of course). With my new sewing machine, I am very excited to be offering free personalization on all of the towels!!

This one is going to be a gift for my Clients Neice, she is not aware of the baby's gender, so this cute little animal print will be perfect!!

This car seat canopy is also a gift for my Clients Neice, I can just imagine how cute these 2 items will be all wrapped up for a shower gift. It had been a little while since I made a car seat canopy, so I made sure I took some extra time to review my notes and make this one perfect. I love sewing but I also love being able to create the embelishments on the tabs, here I used 2 coordinating ribbons (which reminded me of the spots on some of the little animals in this fabric) and 2 lion head buttons in keeping with the animal theme. The whole cover is trimmed with a cute little decorative stitch.

I wish I had been making these covers when I had my kids, I was that lady in the Walmart parking lot scooping a blanket out of the snow and slush after it blew off of my car seat. My daughter was born in the late fall, so she needed something like this to keep the wind out of her face, the blanket just didn't cut it!!

All Star Charm Quilt

As you can see, I have been very busy!! Here is another charm quilt made using a star fabric from the Riley Blake All Star collection. I have paired it up with a solid red and brown. The backing is all red as well as the binding. This would make a great gift for a shower or birthday!!

Blush Stripe Quilt

As soon as I saw this fabric I knew that I had to purchase it and use it in a quilt. This is a really sweet fabric called "blush" by basic grey for Moda. I call this a stripe quilt. It is made using strips of fabric sewn together, quilted and bound with a coordinating binding. This is a perfect size for a baby shower gift, or a first birthday gift. This quilt and all my others are available in my etsy shop.

Sleepytime Charm Quilt

This cute little quilt is a variation of the charm quilts I have been making. this one is a little narrower and longer than my other charm quilts (which are square). This fabric is called "Sleepytime" again by Moda, have I mentioned that I love the moda precuts!!

This is a great gender neutral quilt perfect for a baby shower!! I have quilted this quilt in a grid pattern echoing the seam lines. The back is white cotton just like the binding. I have lots more of this fabric, so stay tuned for the same prints used in a different pattern coming very soon.

Animal Alphabet Charm Quilt

Introducing another charm quilt. This is from the Animal Alphabet collection of fabrics. The fabrics have words, letters and animals on them. The quilt measures aprox 40`` by 40``, the perfect size for a baby or toddler. The back of the quilt has a coordinating circle print that matches the binding. This quilt is for sale in my shop on etsy for $120.00US.

I have "Spring Fever"!!

This is a new quilt pattern I have wanted to try out. Its very similar to my table runners, just in a quilt size. This fabric collection is called "spring fever" by Moda. I think that I am addicted to the moda fabrics!! They are so cute. This quilt measures aprox 40" by 40", the perfect size for a baby or toddler, or even as a lap or wheelchair quilt. The bright floral prints are sure to bring a little cheer during this cold winter weather!! This quilt will be selling on etsy for $120.00 US, although I am tempted to keep it for my little one!!

If you like this pattern, but would like to see some other fabric options, please email me and I can show you some options.

Adorable little dinosaur quilt.

I started this business selling only rag quilts just like this one. Lately, I have been busy with some other items like table runners, dresses and crayon rolls, but I still enjoy making the rag quilts. I love making these quilts for babies, there is something so special about a baby's blanket. Both my kids have their "blankies" and they just love them, I am so glad that I can make something that will be special to a new little person for years to come.

This blanket is made using the "Oh boy" line of fabrics designed by David Walker. The white print has orange, blue and green dinosaurs on it, the coordinating stripe is blue and green and from the same line. The back is a light blue flannel with little circles on it. Inside is soft and bright batting for softness and warmth.
