Pink & White Chevron Baby Quilt

My friends are reproducing like pregnancy is going out of style.  While their children are adorable, it hasn't exactly given me the yen to make one of my own.  But is has made me want to give my friends awesome baby presents.


Quilts are so functional and fun, and they'll grow with the baby - from crib, to play mat, to nap time.  They're soft and cuddly, and one of those things that you keep forever.


So here's my first offering for my Etsy shop.


My Pink and White Chevron Baby Quilt was made from bright pink and white 100% quilting cotton, with echo quilting in matching pink thread. It's super soft and very cozy. 

It measures 53 x 42 inches. It can be used as a baby blanket, as a play mat, in the crib or at nap time. Big enough to grow with your baby, and a pretty accent for toddler's first bed. Also great as a throw or lap quilt. Looks beautiful draped over a chair or foot of a bed.

Washing instructions: machine wash cold, permanent press. Tumble dry.

I'm also offering to make custom quilts!  So if you like the pattern, but not the colors, you can send me a message through my Etsy shop and request a custom quilt just for you or your baby!

How awesome is this fabric?  I ask you.  How am I ever going to cut into it?

Red Telephone Box Wristlet - WIP

It's the middle of summer and July has been painfully slow, but instead of freaking out I've decided to use the down time to design some shiny new stuff!

I've got a notebook where I sketch out ideas for new bags, and while I keep putting stuff in it I haven't been creating anything out of it.  Well, that trend broke today.  I started today with this baby, which I'm going to call Red Telephone Box Wristlet.

I had already roughly worked out the dimensions, so I futzed with them some more and made a prototype.  The scale on my first attempt was all wrong, but the second time out I think I got things mostly how I want them.  I made a stamp for the 'telephone' text, but I only used an ink pad to save time and decided to fill it in with black fabric paint afterwards to get a feel for how a real one would look.  I think I'll have to make a stamp for the crown as well.  I painted that one by hand and it shows.

The next version of this will be so much prettier.  Fingers crossed.

Look at what they had at JoAnn Fabrics!  Chevron!

I want to put it on everything.
