Baby Jackson's Quilt

On May 2nd, our family welcomed a new member ... Jackson Alexander ... and he is absolutely adorable ;O) He lives in California, so all of us here in Ohio won't get to 'meet' him for a bit, but we luv him just the same :O)

Here is the quilt that I made for him ... it is so bright and cheery and so fun. This is a close-up and you can somewhat see the quilting ... it's all sports ... balls, bats and baseball mits ... it's just perfect for a boy...

This is a close-up of the back ... if you click on the picture you get a better view of the quilting.

The pattern i used is Boxed In By KarrieLyn of Freckled Whimsey ... you can also find the pattern on Moda Bake Shop HERE ... i've made a few quilts using this pattern and its just a great pattern. I used bright colors from random lines ...

Wish I Had More Fabric

Hello...happy week-end! So glad it is here. There hasn't been much going on on the sewing front ... but i do have 2 quilts that need binding and a blue and white quilt that i tore somewhat apart that needs to be put back together ... they are calling for rain for the next 6 days, so i'm sure i'll find time to sew

So...have you ever purchased fabric, set it aside, then made a quilt out of it that you absolutely loved ... and wished you had bought tons of the fabric? I'm that way with Decadent Victorian by Moda ... it's so pretty i wish i had bought yardage of it, but i only bought a jellyroll and some sage green yardage ... I did see a 5" jellyroll consisting of 36 cuts for $63 on ebay ... that equals 5 yards of fabric, but that seems like alot...

Here is the quilt i did a few years ago in decadent victorian ... i just wuv it :O) close up ...

Hope it is sunny, warm and dry where you are.

PURE Yumminess

This fabric is soooo pretty. I'm sure ya'll have seen PURE many times before! My cousin and I just purchased it (25% off) and are going to make postage stamp quilts with it ... i'm hoping there is enough scraps leftover to make a postage stamp pillow too.....mmmmm....it's sooo yummy :O)

Happy Anniversary :O)

This was us 20 years ago today ... my how time flys ... happy anniversary honey :O)

TOO FUNNY . . .

Let me just start by saying i'm a Michigan fan, so this billboard directed at Ohio State's football coach, Jim Tressel is rather comical to me :O) (besides that, his vests drive me nuts...too much of a pretty boy)
