Rapunzel Quilt


I am still working on Sally's Rapunzel room. I just finished this wall quilt and I love it. Her room is so busy - with all her toys and tiny objects she collects, so I knew I wanted it simple. I love how it turned out and I love the tower. I just drew the silhouette of the tower and appliqued it on. I also love the quote from the movie. The fabrics are also super cute close up.

Wedding Gift


I made this pillow (18"x18") for a wedding gift. The couples' colors are black, white, and yellow. I appliqued their last name initial on it - it is quilted with a goose down pillow insert. I love it!

Easter Throw Pillows

I couldn't stand the old throw pillows any more so I made these for Easter. They are finished like an envelope on the back so I can change them out for different seasons.

Ella made the pillow below - I gave her all the scraps and let her have at it. I always love seeing what she comes up with!

Queen Bee Market


This is a fabulous event - thanks to my friend Mique for all her dedication and work in making it happen. Read more about it at the Queen Bee Blog or read more from Mique at 30 Handmade Day Blog.

Ella's Easter Skirt


It is difficult to find dresses for Ella or skirts for that matter. Anyone else have a daughter size 14 slim and only 11 years old? So, I decided to sew a skirt. I fell in love with this fabric from Robert Kaufman - vintage inspired. I love how it turned out. I also found a cute purple shirt - $5 at walmart - it even has cute ruffles on the top and is gathered at the bottom which works perfectly with the skirt. I sewed a fabric flower to make a pin to add to the shirt. I plan to sew a matching headband.

Sally's Purple Kitty

Sally wanted me to make her a stuffed kitty. I found this pattern on Sew 4 Home. We made it out of Minky and Sally choose the fabrics. Purple kitty also needed a little blankie.
