Wedding Quilt

Front of quilt

Back of quilt

As I mentioned in a previous post my 3rd boy got married this summer. I have made quilts for all my kids (expect my amazing daughter) quilts when they got married.

I got this pattern from a quilt magazine and chose a selection of blue, white and cream prints. 

I love the way it turned it. Its calming and peaceful.

I quilted this quilt myself. Its only the second quilt that I have ever quilted. I am blessed to have an awesome friend who has a long arm and is willing to share.

Here is the label that I made to go on it.
The date is their actual wedding date.

I made matching pillowcases to go along with the quilt. I appliqued Mr. and Mrs. on the front. I hadn't done applique in a while, but it was easy. Just had to ask my daughter a couple of stupid questions. lol.

Ring Bearer Pillows

My third boy just got married this summer and his wonderful bride asked me to make her some ring bearer pillows. Being in another state I just kind of went off of pictures of ones that she had said that she liked. Her wedding colors were purple, grey and yellow.

I think that these pillows turned out perfect. And better yet so did the bride. 

I got the yellow ribbon and the purple flower from The Ribbon Retreat. The rest of the ribbons and the fabric I got from a local craft store.

Jacks Birthday Quilt

Jungle Print Fabrics

This was the quilt that I did for my grandson Jack. This was for his 6th birthday. He was so excited to get this. I have done a quilt and pillow case for all my grandchildren, I still have two more to go this year. 

This is the label that I made for it.

This a picture of both the
quilt and the pillowcase.

Hailey June Baby Blankets

Crochet Baby Blanket 

 These are blankets that I made for my new granddaughter who will arrive here in October. These were crocheted using different types of yarn which I bought at the Cotton Shop. I did simple stitches which were single and double crochet.

Blanket and Burps



More Burps

These were fun to make and super easy. Simple stitches made it go fast.

Its so much fun to do any type of sewing when you do it for loved ones.

I love doing things for my wonderful grandchildren.

Pin Cushion & Thread Catcher Giveaway

I saw this on pinterest and wanted to find the pattern. When my daughter and I were doing Shop Hop I found the pattern.
They are a lot of fun to make and they look so cute sitting by your machine. I made mine all from scraps and I used rice for the pin cushion so use your imagination. However I seem to still throw the threads on the floor. LOL I made one for myself and one for my daughter Katie and then I made one for my sister. So if you decide to make one, make two, one to give away and one to keep. Please enter the give away and make someone happy. The prize is everything that you need to make one. We used fat quarters so you will have plenty of left overs, and we are including the pattern.
