Another Nursery Set

I've been suuuper busy this weekend/week (whatever, they all run together anyway) with quilting and sewing and cutting and measuring and pinning and shipping and cleaning and playing with my cutie. But, I love it. I do. It's busy, chaotic, a little stressful sometimes, but I get to spend my whole days doing what I like! I'm so lucky... Anywho, I shipped off my last nursery set to Arizona, and I'm just finishing up this adorable one to send to a customer in Maryland. Fun, huh? This quilt is so adorable. I absolutely love it. I used lots of Amy Butler and Joel Dewberry mostly. There's some scraps in there from JoAnn's I'm sure. I'm very pleased with the way it turned out. I just have to finish that tiny bit of binding before I call it good!

One of my favorite parts of the quilt however is the back...I turned out so great. I just cut different sized widths (like from 1-6 inches) sewed them together, and voila! A supersweet quilt back. I think this has inspired me to make a quilt top like this, and maybe some stripes running the other way for the back....oooh! Uh-oh. I need to do one thing at a time! (Or maybe 4...tops!)

I tried a new quilting method, too. I usually "stitch the ditch", but this time I decided to try stitching 1/4" from the seam on either side. Red Pepper Quilts inspired me. I love her beautiful quilts, they're just... beautiful. So, that's the story on that....

I just want to toot my own horn and say again how proud I am of myself for finishing up so much stuff these past few days. If only I could be that productive everyday. I think if I had a cape that would help. Yup, that would definitely help....

Dust Ruffles, Crib Quilts, and Sheets, Oh My!

There! Now I think everything has been photographed and (b)logged :) All I need to do now is put a bow on it and get it out to Arizona! Thanks Katie!

Baby Adelyn's Nursery

This is a superfun set that I made for my friend Katie's baby on the way. It was my first "improv" quilt, if that's even what you call it. I had a blast working on it and I hope Adelyn will rest nicely for her momma in this sweet custom crib set!

This is probably, no definitely my favorite block of. all. time.

Here is the reversible crib bumper, one of the two fitted sheets, and the crib quilt. Fun huh? I know the perspective is a little off, I haven't quite yet perfected taking pictures of crib sets in the crib yet. If anybody has any ideas, please let me know...

Just a close up of the quilt and its backing and binding...

The quilt in all of it's awesomeness :)

Another full crib shot...

Pretty Things...

I made this one for my mom to give as a gift. I love the colors. She wants this to have teal backing fabric and binding...I think that's a great idea. I'll get right on that :)

The One That Started it All!

So....this quilt is near and dear to my heart because it is the absolute very first quilt I ever made AND it was for my daughter. I love it. It's so soft and cuddly (and cute!) I was very impressed with myself, I'm not gonna lie. Go me. If you look really closely you can see my mitred corners and my hand-sewn, blind stitched binding.

This quilt is pretty big...big enough for me to use too!

...and the back.
