My previous post on Lindsi's nursery (scroll down to see) ended up with so many questions about the details of her beautiful new baby's room. One commenter, Jan, has a website where you can enter your nursery in a contest & asked if Lindsi wanted to. I forwarded the info & she's up on Jan's site now, here's the link: http://www.unique-baby-gear-ideas.com/the-bold-and-the-birdyful-nursery.html She named her nursery "The Bold and the Birdyful"~ cute!! All you have to do is comment where you rate the nursery~ super easy. If you are looking for baby room inspiration, this is one site you have to check out. Tons and tons of rooms to look at in every style imaginable for both girls, boys and gender neutral. If you want to enter your nursery, just contact Jan by clicking "contest" on the home page. Have fun browsing and don't forget to vote!!
This gorgeous nursery design is courtesy of Lindsi who ordered her crib bedding from me~ you will recognize the ruffled crib skirt from a previous post! I thought her nursery was so gorgeous, so I asked if I could share the photos with you all. Originally she showed me the bird pictures that are above the crib~ she went in a totally different direction than I thought, and I love it!! That dark plum wall really sets everything off and I love the contrast with that and the bedding. That plum is in small amounts in the Love fabrics by Amy Butler & it just comes to life. Enjoy!!
Oh, how I love Tina Given's Opal Owl! I have enjoyed sewing this set while this cute owl looks at me. :) It seems like I just ordered this line and now she has a new line called Haven's Edge. Its got wonderful purples & pinks in it and can't wait to see what it plays well with! I have quite a few orders for crib bedding to sew this month, so this is the first one finished. I love how Bubble Burst from AMH coordinates so well with the owls. I can forsee boy bedding with that one!
I finished Jessie's crib set today! I am really happy with how the skirt turned out. It makes a unique set to do both the bumper & skirt in patchwork. I just get giddy whenever I get to make something different using patchwork. There is a flickr group that I submit photos to and its called 'patchwork your life' featuring patchwork in everthing but quilts, and I just love it!! Its the story of my life. If I can get away using multiple fabrics in any project, I do!! I know I have the best job. I just can't get enough. :)
So thrilled to have finished this patchwork crib bumper using a combination of Bari J's Art Journal fabrics and Joel Dewberry's Modern Meadow and Ginseng fabrics. I used Nufoam bumper inserts instead of stuffing. I love how it looks tailored & thin. Heidi is doing a bird themed nursery and has picked out some amazing accessories. I still need to finish the crib skirt and sheets, so I'd better get sewing!
Just finished this bumper for Lauren. I love the happy, summery colors found in Amy Butler's Love fabrics. I used the Bliss Bouquet in teal for the crib skirt. I really enjoy using patchwork for all applications! I like seeing all the colors meld and add interest when its all mixed up. There is always something to look at.
I am super excited to make this patchwork crib bumper for Alyssa! She liked the blanket I made for Alexis, so we adopted that color palette omitting obvious florals for this gender neutral set. We added the paisley per her husbands request for some bandana fabric. I found the Moda paisley fabric that had the perfect melon/ steel blue combo to go with the others. We also added Sandi Henderson's Henna Garden in melon to up the orange factor. I laid out my measuring tape & kept adding patches until I reached 164" for a total finished size of 160". So far, so good! :)
Its that time of year when I get more requests for crib bedding. Its really fun to make and coordinate with different fabrics. This bumper is for Jessie. She picked out Tula Pink's Plume fabric line and this fabric is called Tailfeathers in mint. I purchased it at hawthorne threads, but Jona at Fabritopia also carries this line. The piping is Amy Butler's Park Fountains which will also be the crib skirt. I have decided not to sew any more fitted crib sheets as the width of the fabric can vary by an inch which sometimes makes the sheet too small. :( I have 2 more crib bedding orders to finish before June & I'm really excited about them. One is using the cute Alice Kennedy Owl fabric with Sandi Henderson's Farmers Market. The other is patchwork with Anna Maria Horner fabrics in blues & oranges based on her Sketchbook fabric in blue. Lots to sew, got to go! :)
