Butterfly Wings

Butterfly wings for Maggie!  A neat little cut & sew project from Sprout Patterns.  I got to pick the fabric designs, they print and ship to me.  Then I follow the directions and VOILA! Maggie has butterfly wings.  An easy DIY Halloween costume element or just something for the dress up box.  Now what color should I make Alma's wings? 

Nolan's Quilt

Here is Nolan's quilt!  I worked on this one in Fall and Winter 2015 and completed in January 2016.  Nolan is Maeve's brother and he was born in January.  The grey fabric has little silver deer on it.  The teal has arrows, and the orange has little white hexagons.  The back is a navy & white plaid fabric.  

I followed THIS pattern.  It was a challenge but I would definitely try it again.  

Meagan's Quilt

This is a little lap quilt I made this winter.  For Meagan!  Just 2 fabrics with batting in the middle. Only "quilted" a little 1/4 inch line at equal intervals in kind of a grid pattern.  Perfect for a wrap around the shoulders, or some stretched out legs while snuggling on the couch.  Will most definitely be using this method again.  Hardly any cutting which makes for a quick and easy project!  

still escalating!

that escalated quickly.

Jack's Quilt

A Christmas gift for my nephew, Jack.  Lots of triangles!  112 actually.  I worked on this one in the fall and right up to December 23rd.  Finished and wrapped in time.  The binding is some of the same fabric that I used in Magnolia's quilt.

Maeve's Quilt

A Christmas gift for my niece, Maeve.  A pretty patchwork of patterns! I worked on this one over the summer and a little bit into the fall.  I used some of the same fabric from her cow sheets, and the binding is the same fabric that went into parts of Magnolia's quilt.

baby blocks

I made some decorations for Mary's baby shower!

I had planned a craft activity that involved drawing with fabric markers on little squares of fabric.  Since her baby decided to make his debut THAT MORNING, the baby shower didn't really happen!  Plenty of family and friends still stopped by so we got some fabric decorated.

Here is what those fabric squares, along with some of my other project extras, turned into:

I made a little prototype with other scrap fabric.  Maeve gets the tester block!

David requested one for our Magpie, so I tried a different shape:

Each soft little block is about 5" by 5" by 5" and has a rattle inside.  I also added some fun ribbon tags. Maggie likes to grab them by the tag and shake shake shake! The blocks are potentially good for baby golf & croquet.  Maeve and Maggie got to practice a little bit over Thanksgiving.  Maybe Jack will be ready to play at Christmas!
