green bib.

I made this little burp cloth/bib set as a gift for a baby's-already-here-welcome-to-the-world-party! It seems so fresh and clean to me, with all the bright greens. It is made of linen and cotton/linen blend fabrics and the back of the cloth is a thick flannel so that it stays on your shoulder whilst burping the babe. I had them all folded neatly and wrapped in twine, when I realized I didn't take a photo to share with you so that's why there are creases in the finished product! I'm sure you can get past that..... I'll be back soon....

a stroller quilt.

Just to prove that I am still making things, I thought I would stop in and show ya my latest... I love this quilt. It measures about 32x36,and is jam packed with bright and bold colors. It seems most the quilts that I make have very little rhyme or reason. I like it that way! This has been in my mind for a while, but I wanted to make a smaller baby quilt than the 45x60 standard crib quilt. It is the perfect size for tucking around a little one in a stroller or over the lap at story time. I am happy with the way that it turned out...

A cheerful backing....

an inspiring shot...this angle makes me want to make an orange, brown and green quilt!

I've got lots more to share so I will see y'all soon.

girly messenger.

I made this little bag for a bride-to-be to take on her destination wedding. I love how it turned out. It is roomy, sturdy, and light-weight. Even though I am not the girliest of girls, I have always loved the combination of pink and grey. I have had this floral fabric for a while and never knew quite what to do with it. When this project popped up, It was actually the first fabric I grabbed out of the stash.

The underside of the flap shown here, I also made a double pocket inside out of the same fabric. I love the little patch! I hope you all enjoy the last few hours of the weekend.....
~Happy Sewing!
