Plum Pretty Quilt

I have always loved every shade of purple, but going towards plum is just so lucious to me! I enjoyed every stitch of making this quilt for Jenni. I outlined the patches in a straight stitch and then free motion swirled the plum dot border which is Hoodie's Crosshatch dots in plum. Jenni ordered a whole crib set, so this is part of a bigger picture~ but it's a great start! I can't resist photographing my kids if they will let me with my quilts & I love how Holly looks with the backing of this one! Hope you are enjoying your Saturday!

Patchwork Crib Bumper

I had the pleasure of working with this fun color combination of plum, turquoise & tangerine. Tegan chose mostly Joel Dewberry fabrics from his newest Heirloom collection as well as Aviary 2 & Modern Meadow. Jennifer Paganelli's West Indies Chandler in brandy was a great match for the plums in the Damask, Crosshatch Dots (Hoodie)  & Patricia Bravo's Moroccan Nights (zig zag stitch fabric). A great group of patterns to capture a baby's attention! I also made a patchwork and minky blanket and a skirt, pics of those are on my flickr page.

Teardrop Bag in Patchwork

I had a custom order for the Teardrop bag from Amy Butler in patchwork and adding a flap and inside zippered pocket. I was up for the challenge! Nellie wanted purples, pinks and blues and so we decided on Heirloom & Ginseng by Joel Dewberry, Innocent Crush by Anna Maria Horner & Flower Power from Jennifer Paganelli.. I cut 4 1/4" squares for the body and 4 1/2" squares for the strap. The trim piece along the top as well as the 'hips' are all Wilflowers fabric. I had a flap pattern I use for my diaper/wipes case and it was the perfect size~ it just needed to be a little longer, so I went with that. I put a magnetic button in the middle of the front pleat and the flap for closure. Inside Nellie wanted a zippered pocket, so I used the Mail Sack pattern~ (one of my all time favorite bag patterns) to construct that. The other side is a patchwork pocket that is divided. I'm really happy with the way it came out & I hope Nellie is too! :)

Jewel Box Baby Blanket

Just finished this for a customer, but will be available as made to order in my shop. I love the glow of the Heirloom plums, fuschias and golds. I also added: Anna Maria Horner (Loulouthi, Innocent Crush), Patty Young (Grand Bazaar), Kristian Howell & Jennifer Paganelli.

Gorgeous Heirloom!

I had fun putting together the color combinations with Joel Dewberry's new Heirloom collection. The colors are really saturated, so they pair well with Jennifer Paganelli and Anna Maria Horner. Some of the fabrics match the older lines. I love the 'old' aviary print group. I still have it in pink as well, but it was too pastel for the pinks in this line. Hope you enjoy seeing new and old favorites together!
