Swoon!

2012-01-28T23:34:00.001-08:00

Another Block I've worked on,
this is from the SWOON quilt pattern,
it's my tester block,
not to shabby for my 3rd ever block if I may say so myself, I did pretty well with my 1/4in seams because .....it came out perfectly 24.5 in just like the pattern calls for :D

This will get worked up into a Doll Quilt with cordinating Birthday Doll.
Any takers on calling DIBS so you can customize the hair & eye color?
shoot me an email if so

2012-01-25T23:57:00.001-08:00

Here's a wip pic- one of the mini quilts now as a doll blanket and an "Army Mama" Masako Doll. I'm working on her hair now, she and another set should be ready to get listed within the week.

Work In Progress (Scrappy Quilt)

What I'm working on.......

A WIP over on my personal blog- its sewing related but for some reason I started the post over there? So I'll keep them over there for now.

Mini Quilt = Pillow

2012-01-14T11:55:00.000-08:00

One of the finished Mini Quilts from the SewAlong over at Fresh Squeezed
I ended up turning it into a throw pillow, it also was my first PIF suprise of the year.
I just busted out three things at once- new block practice, first pillow, first PIF.
Not to bad for the first 2 weeks of the year

Pic 1 the top, its the courthouse steps block - with my own twist, the last two rows became the borders.

Pic 2 here it is sandwiched & quilted

Pic 3 the pillow insert, made of muslin & stuffed with fabric scraps (to small to do anything with, odds & ends of thread etc. ) such a great way to use them up- something I learned from the Sassy Blog
the back is a thicker canvas

Pic 4 All done & ready to gift

mini quilt step 2

2012-01-10T14:40:00.000-08:00

Step 2 from the post below done

It turned out to be the perfect size for the doll.

I can't wait to get the set up for yall to see (& buy!)

Thinking of doing another for an ACU doll I have in the works.

Check on back next Tuesday for what it'll look like after step 3.

New things~

2012-01-09T22:05:00.001-08:00

Here's a before picture of a mini quilt for a SewAlong I'm following over at FreshSqueezedThe mini quilt will cordinate with a Masako Doll that I just finished up. Should be listed soon

One of my goals this year is to learn more about quilting, here's a picture of my first quilt block.

Whatcha think?

Scraps!

Here's what I'm up to in the office...

Goals

2012-01-02T21:17:00.000-08:00

This year I'd really like to learn more about quilting.
I've set a few goals for myself to help me along.
I'll be trying my hardest (while still sewing for the shop) to follow along with

1. the Challenges over at I don't have a problem, I have a well rounded fabric stash
2. Scrappy New Year Quilt A Long with SassyBlog
3. Sew-along with Fresh Squeezed
4. Craftsy's free BOM

Now I'm even like "wow, hey, hold on" I figure if I pace myself and focus on one a week- theres 4- then it shouldnt be too bad. Right?
I even sent up my desktop calendar for this!
1 project a week.
Plus sewing for the shop inbetween, stock shop once a week (hopefully) maybe biweekly, or once a month. Your input would be great on this.
When? How often? to stock the shop???

3 ISpy Quilt Sets

2012-01-02T01:39:00.000-08:00

Yes 3!

A dual Army couple had a girl on the 30th.

A dual Military couple (Army-Airforce) had twin boys, also on the 30th.

********* please note-sets are available for custom order, please email for more info.

Here I have a Baby Blanket

While trying to gather it all in my head I kept seeing different textures so the new little girl receiving it could enjoy feeling around everywhere.

The body of the front is flannel, the stems/leaves and flowers are fleece, the center circle is textured cotton and the trim is cotton velour, stitched on to a pre quilted backing.

Here's a few pics along the way, its not a full tut but if you have any questions feel free to ask away.

(after 5 attemps at drawing out what I was actually seeing in my head........)

heres a pictorial of the steps

I used # 8

then right at the end I saw I had this velour that matched perfectly so I just had to ad on the trim

2011-05-15T23:11:00.000-07:00

I cant believe its been a month since the machines were boxed up.
I'll be honest though, getting to bed before 10 and not "having" to go into the office was nice.
I've been working on setting up the furniture in here, to include setting up a table for the hubby so he can play his games in here with me while I stay up sew on the weekends. He only plays on weekends so we figure we might as well be in the same room :)
I am starting to feel the itch to make something.
A soldier of hubby's had a baby this past week so I'm going to make a quilt this week, I drew it out and got the fabrics washed and picked.
Did you know that's how I started sewing? Simple square baby blankets for new littles being born, I even did up a bow tie pattern rag quilt all by hand once.
Keep an eye out, after I finish up this project and finish the rest of the office (fabric) boxes new items will be surfacing.

As I've been unpacking I realized dd had some old pieces of clothes that I could play with.

Here I took an old tee and the skirt part of an old dress, pieced them together with a scrap of fabric I had on hand to make this new play dress, yes play dress, it was just see if I could do it, I'm not a good 'knits' person so this was a bit challenging for me. I do think though with time & practice I could get the hang of it.

I love old hankies, teatowels & embroidered pillowcases.

I admit to having a good sized pile cleaned a pressed sitting in my fabric stash.

In my search of "what to do with ...."

I stumbled upon this handkerchief to bonnet tutorial.

I tried it out and captured along the way how I did it.

This tutorial will show how to upcycle/relove an old handkerchief

this could be a handmedown from grandpa or a thrift shop find

either way this lovely something old

will be something new and can continue its journey as such for generations

Supplies

Washed and pressed handkerchief, ribbon, thread, large needle, safety pin, scissors

Here I used colored ribbon & thread, feel free to use whatever colors you choose

Fold & iron two sides, the back side about an inch, the front side about 2-3 inches

Loosely stitch the small fold down, this will be the back side

Pull lightly and knot off, trim lose thread

Here's a quick 'how it should look' pic

Loosely thread the top fold down, here I used the holes already in the detail, if the handkerchief has lace you could thread through that as well

Lightly knot of both ends

Pin one end of ribbon and thread through the front fold

Trim ribbon ends, you can use a touch of fray check or slightly heat with a lighter to avoid unraveling

All Done! :)

This week I did a few things,

to include the set of Rabbits in Spring dresses up for sale on the Riotcart shop.

But a turn was in for this weeks project 52.

I have Japanese Fat Quarters stocked up along with some Japanese fabric that mom brought back from her last trip.

I felt a big need to do something with them, also to add a touch of Japanese back into the shop since the Kyokos are on hold until the Fall.

So here we have it, a Buttercup Bag pattern by Made by Rae in Katsori print.
This one will be listed along with a few others in a day or two.
I'd love to hear your thoughts

I picked up the skirt fabrics a few years ago with the intention of making a quilt,

then a bit over a year ago I worked on a collab with a few other wahms to make a complete baby girl gift set with about half. A couple of weeks ago I scored on a huge bucket of quilting fabrics, inside there was this great pink that matched perfectly.

Today I'm proud to show you a size 6 two piece set, top and apron skirt.

Bubba "Daddy" Doll

It was such a pleasure to make this special guy,
he went home to be loved and hugged by an 18mon old boy who's about to experience a deployment.
He is custom made to look like Daddy even down to his clothes which are upcycled from an old ABU top.
Being an Active Duty Military family this just tugs at my heart and it was such a great feeling to send him home.

*Warning* if you're in the Valentine Contest with me on CraftForum don't look below*

So as posted above, my challenge/project this week came from a Valentines Contest I'm entering. My inspiration was the SweetHearts candy. Now I didn't go and write on a whole bunch of hearts but instead I made their box into a pillowcase.

We have the front of the box

the back of the box

a touch of detail on the top, quilted strips, ruffle & ties to secure the pillow nicely

and to top it off, it already has a home to go to, ds1 is gifting it to his gf for their second Valentines Day.

A Romper!
Yep it's not a dress, I had this lovely Michael Miller 'giraffes garden' fabric but no coordinates for it so as I'm sitting here wondering oh cute now what....
It was suggested to try a romper with something else so I put the two together and viola.
This one has shoulder ties I find it to be more feminine, the print though I believe is gender neutral.
Sized 6-12mon
length armpit to closure is 15in
chest/back elastic sits at 17in around and stretches to 26in
leg/thigh sits at 10in with stretch
To go along with it is a tiny teether buddy.

This one gets to stay right here with me, it's for dd's 4th Birthday.

She picked out the buttons a few weeks ago and I had no clue what to do with them.

Then she picked out the fabric last week saying she wanted me to make her a Birthday Dress, "woohoo" I thought, since she never wants anything I make.

So after trying out a few new ideas/patterns, mixed and blended here & there we got this lovely piece done up in Michael Miller Mini Bouquet

Maybe we can call it winter cleaning :)

I fixed it up while everything was still packed up from the 3 bazaars

Much easier to move & dust & tweak without the instock boxes in the way.

So now ...............

Noguchi Designs has a functioning cutting/pattern station

that also doubles up as a packing/shipping station

A huge sewing table~

I opened up the vintage table

(yes there's a working machine folded in side that I'm too chicken to use)

and finally filled its drawers with sewing notions

the bag on the left is big scraps, the bag on the right is for new scraps that will then turn into another big bag.

I do have have plans for these, come the New Year keep an eye out for something special for the Sissy/Bubba Dolls

An organized buffet~

that doubles as an ironing/photo/scrapbook table

A China Cabinet ~

why yes I use my dining room furniture,

in my dining room,

as my sewing/office room

We will pretend the inside is as organized as the top for now

There's a great fabric storage project coming up where you'll get to see the before & after of the inside

The desk~

where I sit to type, chat, read, print, sell, zone out at

Its my own little corner where I get to have a few of my things out for me to enjoy

Up above is my first swinging clown I got in Italy (now the only one I own)

there's a bit of everywhere up there, Iraq, Japan

to the left are Coastal Pictures of California (where I'm from)

and it swings around to hit the shipping station.

Oh my! What can you spy?
