Ocean Blue


Crisp. Fresh. Clean. Just a few descriptives that come to mind when looking at my newest Pillow Cover. Soothing deep blue, soft turquoise with hints of creamy yellow and pale mint. A deep envelope back in crisp Kona Cotton White. I've used an assortment of different fabrics to create the log cabin block including several from Amy Butler's Daisy Chain, Aquatic pallet. The fabrics all work together to create an image of a swirling pool of water. Let's all just float away...... Listed in my shop!


As promised, our newest little monkey to join the family, Lucca Alejandro! He joins big brothers Nico and Roberto...amazing!



Jungle Tote winner!! Vickie at Dottie Jane Designs, CONGRATULATIONS, GIRLFRIEND! A great big grazie to all of you who participated in my give away. How fun was that? I will be hosting more in the future so stay tuned.

Have a great weekend and head on over to Amy's Sew & Tell Friday & Floral Showers Craft Blog. Even more fun over there!

Ciao!

    I'm Nina too!
    I think your quilts are heirlooms in the making. I collect vintage quilts but yours are just as fabulous!
