Baby Quilts Galore!

I have made a lot of baby quilts in the last three weeks. Here are the lovely results!

First up, the older sister of my oldest friend just had premature twin girls. They are long time farmers and 4-H'ers and I am going to be very excited to give them these quilts! I think they will just love them. I took tons of pictures, because, well, I love them too!

Next, I had an order for a baby quilt in soft traditional colors, primarily light green and light pink. This is what I came up with. I will be delivering this quilt this weekend. I'm eager to see what she thinks of this little beauty!

Finally, while rummaging through my stash and getting ready for summer travel, I found a stack of half finished log cabin quilt blocks. I decided to finish this little quilt up. I don't have an intended recipient for this quilt so I think this one will probably end up on my Etsy site, but it's a cute, traditional little girl's quilt.

Here's a lovely stack of quilts! I love the look of a nicely folded stack of quilts. :)

Creating a Blog Planner

I like to think I'm a pretty organized gal. But with a busy life and lots of work, my mental best laid plans for blogging are quickly falling through the cracks. I ran across this great blog planner through Pinterest and I'm getting ready to give it a whirl! The printables that Lamberts Lately developed here are absolutely adorable and I can't wait to put them to use! Another awesome Pinterest find was this great tutorial from Just A Beautiful Life on to-do's and best practices for creating your own blogging binder. Between the great advice from both of these sites, I've got a start on my own blogging binder. I did a little office supply shopping (honestly, I love shopping for office supplies!) and picked up a cute colorful binder, some tab dividers, sheet protectors, loose leaf lined paper, and post it notes to put together with my freshly printed blog planning sheets. I have a three hole punch and nice markers at home to use already...

Long time comin'

I had hoped that I would have more energy to work while I have the house trailer to myself, but unfortunately that was not the case today. After a slow start to the day and still a much needed nap, I was able to muster some energy and get to work sewing. I am a quilter who always has a TON of UFO’s. Sifting through half-done projects, I decided to start yet another one. I decided to pull out a selection of fabric that I had purchased almost exactly a year ago and get to work on the quilt that I had designed with that line in mind. These fabrics and this quilt have been on my mind for quite some time, so this one has certainly been a long time coming. The fabrics are from the “Serenity” line by Heather Mulder Peterson. I absolutely love her designs! I have a good collection of her books and have really enjoyed every line of fabric she has put out for Henry Glass & Co. “Serenity” is by far my favorite of her fabric lines...

Mail Sack Bags!

My sister is a great sounding board when I want to talk about what to make at craft shows. She's not a sewist herself, but she has great fashion and style and loves to shop at craft shows! So she suggested a bit ago that I should make some cross body bags that are a little smaller than the regular size ones I already make. So I took her advice! The first cross body bag that I made ever was for myself a few years ago. I still use it for my daily use purse. The pattern that I used was the Mail Sack Bag from Pink Chalk Studio. After making that one, I started designing a bag that was more me, and would be cute to sell at craft shows. When I decided to make some bags in a new size I went right back to that pattern and got started. They are a great pattern company and luckily are happy if people are interested in making their bag to sell in small quantities at craft shows. So this week I whipped up four new bags. ...
