Folklore Oatmeal Dishtowels

Well, I finally dove into my sacred stash of My Folklore fabrics. I must have been sitting on these for over a year. It was time to add more dishtowels to the shop as I think I had been sold out for a while. I had to admit that the Folklore fabrics were just perfect for the Oatmeal Dishtowels. I added a contrasting strip of jumbo ric rac and a folksy blanket stitch around the edge. Very "old world" and festive these dishtowels are!

A Disney Inspired Quilt

Another commissioned quilt! This quilt is for a baby girl whose nursery will be decorated in the theme of Mickey and Minnie. I wanted to make the quilt as tasteful as possible without it looking too commercial. I made the appliques myself, simply taking a silhouette image and tracing onto black Kona and attaching with fusible web. I then stitched around the appliques. I used red and black polka dotted fabric in large and small dots. The solid fabrics are kona black, red, white and buttercup. Quilted in a loop de loop/meandering pattern. Measures 40" x 50", a medium crib sized quilt. This was definitely a fun quilt to create.

Sew and Tell - Lantern Bloom Tote

I used to be a regular player in Sew and Tell Fridays. But then life started coming at me fast and I stopped participating. Let me tell ya...I really missed it. I love joining a group of crafty gals showing off our accomplishments for the week. So, today I'm back and I will attempt to take the time to join the fun when I can. Ideally every week, realistically when possible. That's way better than never!

It's a good thing he is so sweet and adorable or I'd have to throw him out the window!

The Thing That Started it All

Cool Little Totes, my first attempt at creating bags. I was so proud of myself.

Then came Etsy a few month later selling those Little Totes.

And now here we are year later and I have achieved 100 sales in my Etsy shop, Huzzah!! I have brought back those Lovely Little Totes, those things that started it all. I've used some Metro Living fabrics to add new life to some older favorites.
