New Items/Birthday Sale

I made a yellow minky changing pad cover and LOVE IT!  I have recently added it to the etsy store.

My sister-in-law also had me make her a cross-stitch item for a gift for somebody.  I have decided to do these on a special order basis only since they can vary so much.  This cross-stitch item was the outline of the state with a heart in an area of the state that was very special to this person.  I then framed it with a cross-stitch hoop.

Also, I am having a discount going on right now.  If you order anything (special order or ready to ship items) you can get 10% off for the month of July only!  It is my birth month so lets celebrate!  On the etsy store just enter code BDAY14 for your 10% off or contact me through my etsy page to special order that special item!

Changing Pad Cover

So, we have been so busy around here I haven't had a chance to update the blog in quite awhile!

First off, we are expecting a new little blessing to enter our household beginning of September, so I have been busy busy working on a few little projects for the nursery, which I am now doing as custom orders as well.  I am currently asking $30 each for the changing pad covers + tax & shipping if needed.

The first thing I made was cushions for our rocking chair, because the previous ones weren't tall enough so when we wanted to lean our heads back for that midnight feeding, we would hit a hard surface so I redid them in this giraffe print.  Then, I couldn't resist, I wanted to make a changing pad cover to match.

Chevron

I LOVE this quilt!  I am tempted to keep it for my son!  This is a grey, yellow, and white chevron quilt that I constructed.  The back is all white with a stripe of yellow and grey.  It measures at 45" x 49.5" and is machine quilted along the chevron pattern.  I can't wait to make more of these!

I am asking $95 + tax and shipping (if needed) for this quilt.

Applejack

This quilt was fun to do.  I loved the colors and having a son myself, I just loved the fabric.

This quilt measures at 35" x 43". 
The front is made up of finished 4.5" squares in a random patchwork design. The back is red. The fabric all comes from Moda. The front fabrics (red, blue, green, yellow, and grey) are from the Moda collection Applejack.
It was quilted by machine along the seams for a beautiful square pattern. 
The batting is a Warm & Natural cotton batting.
Asking $95 + tax & shipping (if needed).

Chrysalis

I absolutely fell in love with this fabric as soon as I saw it!  I couldn't wait to make a quilt out of it!  Then, I started drawing up a pattern and I think it is one of my favorites!

This quilt measures at 38" x 42".

The front is made up of triangles in a diamond shape pattern that is off centered on the quilt.  The back is all green to match the front.  The fabric all comes from Moda.  The front colors are from the Moda collection Chrysalis.

It was quilted by machine along the seams to create a diamond shaped pattern on the front and back.

The batting is a Warm & Natural cotton batting.

Asking $95 + tax & shipping (if needed).

Startup

Ok, so after thinking about it for a long time and being home for Mason for 5 months I have finally decided to open my own quilt shop online through Etsy.  It has been a process and I have finished my first quilt to put up, but can't start selling them until December.

I have applied for all the federal and state stuff and just turned in my city permit application today, but won't get approved until the committee meeting in December.  **Fingers crossed** No, actually it shouldn't be an issue according to Tim at the city office, especially since I won't be opening up my home like a shop every day.

Once I get going, I hope to be able to attend a few craft fairs as well to get my stuff out there.  I am anxious to receive the fabric in the mail that I ordered online the other day.  I am so excited about this next step!  I am doing something I love while I get to stay home with my little one!  I will let you all know when I open my Etsy shop!  I can't wait!  Hopefully November goes fast ;)

Here is the first quilt for the shop...YEAH!!

This quilt measures at 36" x 40".  

The front is made up of finished 4.5" squares in a random patchwork design.  The back is the green color you see as the binding around the edge of the quilt.  The fabric all comes from Moda.  The front colors are from the Moda collection Bobbins & Bits.
