This blog will feature the things I am working on personally and professionally and will also feature tutorials for various projects.

You will also occasionally see items I've made to sell at Wonder Unders and Lewis Family Mercantile.

A "My Favorite Things" quilt for my nephew...

The last time we were visiting with Tony's sister Anitra and her son she was telling me some of Avery's favorite things.  I made a mental note and then had this smashing idea:  I would make him a fun quilt using fabrics of his "favorite things"!

Most of the fabrics are self-explanatory except maybe the gold and black border.  You see, Avery is a Vandy fan!  LOL


...and the back:

I can't wait to see his face -- I hope he loves it!!

Click each photo to enlarge. 

This was all machine pieced and quilted.  I used two layers of Killington flannel instead of traditional batting.

Tie-Bleaching



I think I made this up... lol.  But I'm sure I'm not the only one who has ever done it!  ;)

A Baby Gift ~ Quilt and Toy

A close up of the quilt
The red is baby wale corduroy.
The back of the quilt with the toy.
It crinkles :)
And is soft on one side and fuzzy on the other.
I hope they are much loved!

I just made the *cutest* diaper!

For my sisterfriend Cathy's newest blessing!  I'm too impatient to edit so here goes!





Outer is from the Oh Boy! collection by David Walker. 
It has one layer of Killington sandwiched between the woven and the Killington in the inner.  The soaker is sewn-in and is two layers of Killington and two layers of Zorb.
