Jovi's Baby Quilt

My Niece was born last week! Here's the quilt I made her. I tried to stick to only a couple different fabrics as well as a color theme. It's hard! I just want everything to be multicolored

Throwback Friday, yes I know it's supposed to be on Thursday

Here's a baby quilt I made last summer for a friend expecting a baby boy. She loves stars and thankfully I had this lovely fabric already in my stash 

                 
                I used a neon green grid fabric for the back

Hexagon tea cozy

Finished this tea (or coffee press) cozy a couple weeks ago. I used up a lot of my small vintage sheet scraps making this, which is fabulous.

Mom's random Christmas quilt

For years my mom has been not so subtly implying that she'd love a handmade quilt. About a year ago I was fabric shopping with her and she went ahead and picked out fabrics for her long awaited quilt. After a lot of sewing snafus and pattern mess ups this started to be the quilt I shoved in the back of the closet and would try to forget about. (It was just too painful) This past fall I was resolved to finish this quilt in time for Christmas (even if it killed me) It came out more improv-y and random than I originally planned but hey, its FINISHED. Plus she cried (happiness tears to verify) when I gave to her so BONUS points for me.  

I put together the back using the leftover fabric pieces. Like I said "improv-y" 

Timmy's quilt

 Friends of mine just had a baby about a month ago and since they didn't find out the gender ahead of time, I whipped up this quilt after he was born. Perfect timing as this became a "happy new baby but also it's Christmas" gift.

I used this fun woodland print for the backing and binding. 

A simple design using HST but I love it. Thinking of altering the pattern slightly and making another one! I am so proud of myself for committing to only using ten fabrics with this! Usually I just want ALL the fabrics in a quilt and I can't commit to one color scheme. 

Large Mushroom Plushies

 Made some large size mushrooms this past week. I've made a lot of smaller versions of these, but I thought it was high time I added some large ones to the shop.

This one is just asking to be cuddled. 

Vintage Cross Quilt

 My best friend is getting married this summer and this is the wedding quilt I made for her. I used kona solids and a variety of vintage sheets.

      Cross stitch of their wedding date

Giant Octopus!

 Had someone contact me on Etsy and ask for a custom GIANT octopus. This was a ridiculously big project for me, but I love the end result. Hands down the biggest plushie I've ever made!

 Now just to ship this beast!

Finished Cross Stitch

I finished this cross stitch last December but (cough) never posted it. These are lyrics from one of my favorite worship songs. As you can see I made a few (maybe a lot ) of mistakes in this piece. In my defense it was my first large cross stitch project. Now to find a frame to fit it.

Solid Log Cabin Quilt

 I saw this quilt block on pinterest awhile ago and knew right away I wanted to make a quilt with this design. I made this particular quilt for a friends birthday, but I am determined to make another one for myself. It just came out so pretty!

 The back was made up from scraps and a couple blocks I made from leftover solids. I am particularly fond of the pixel-ish block on the left.

 *sigh* So pretty.

Erik's Geektastic Quilt

 This past Christmas I made my little brother a geek quilt incorporating Star Wars, Marvel, Star Trek and DC. I used a variation of a "Shoo fly" block.

 The back is mostly from leftover yardage and a bit of scrap patchwork in the middle.

Jace's Baby Quilt

 Quilt for my nephew who's due in December. My sister asked for a pretty simplistic quilt, so solid colors and herringbone was the result

 Embroidered his name on the back.

Meagan's Circle Quilt

 A birthday/housewarming for a good friend of mine. Used a UFO (unfinished object) I had lying around for part of the back. This one from way back then.

Diamond Wedding Quilt

 A good friend of mine is getting married this Sunday and this is the wedding quilt I made for her and her husband to be. Love this pattern, love the colors. LOVE how fast this went.

I just pieced together odds and ends for the back. Pay no attention to the weird puckering.

I won't lie, I was sorely tempted to keep this one. I am glad that it's found a nice home now.

Purple Octopus

 Got a custom order for a purple octopus. Hope this little fella goes to a lovely home.

Happy Thursday

Gift for a friends birthday. Something to hang on the wall and point to.

Mini Hexagons

This is one of those "I feel suddenly inspired to finish off some old projects!" These hexagon pieces have been lying in my workbasket longer than I'd like to admit. Now they are quilted, binded and ready to be used.

 This one is using smaller hexagons, which makes it more time consuming, but I think the end result is lovely. This one is definitely staying with me.

I used a mixture of vintage scraps and quilting fabric leftovers for the hexagons and binding.

Sun Power 2x

 It wasn't too long after I posted my first sun plushie on Etsy, that I got a request for two suns. The woman ordering them asked if one of the suns could be more girly and the other more boyish, as she was purchasing them for her son and daughter.

 Here's the end result

All made up and ready to be loved and squished

Mushroom Rattle

The plethora of baby showers happening in my church sparked a need for a new baby item. My mom knit a lovely baby sweater and asked if I could make a mushroom rattle to go with it. The rattle was well received at the shower and lo, requests for baby rattles are coming in. I'll soon have a listing for the rattle in my shop available in four colors, so stay posted. 

A Plethora of mushrooms!

So I've been busy making mushroom-y things. Such as some plushies and I framed a mushroom embroidery I made. I've been making the plushies in the expectancy of opening my shop in the near future. 

What can I say? I love mushrooms!
