Whats your shape?

Do you have a shape that you just LOVE seeing in quilts?  Maybe you are a triangle person, simple squares, or love seeing those circle patterns.

Me, lately I'm a hexagon type person.  I just love the look hexagons make on quilts.  I think they are stunning {and are so intimidating to me that I have yet to try making a project with them!}

So today, I bring you three different Hexagon projects that I have found, that I just love.

1. A "simple" modern take on hexagons

sure it may be the quilting that makes this piece jump out to me, but still, I love it.  It's simple, with a statement.  Perhaps I could tackle this?

2. A bedskirt

This one I thought was fun with having the different colors outline a clump of hexagonal shapes then border the bedskirt with hexagons. Looks like a dainty little flower piece to me, perfect for my girly girl...maybe I could attempt this one.

3. A quilt fit for a queen

wow.  Can I just say, WOW!?!  I love his quilt.  Maybe it's the colors of fabric choice, but i just love how the hexagons look.  Am I nuts?  I saw this and immediately wanted to make this my next project.  I now am on the hunt to find the perfect pattern and fabric choice.  Wish me luck!

Have you ever done a hexagonal quilt or project?  any tips or tricks you'd like to pass on?  Let's hear it!

Project fit for a princess

About a month ago, a co-worker of my husband, went to China to pick up a daughter he and his wife adopted.  This sweet little girl was about to turn 3.  Now, usually I'd give a baby gift of clothes or something of the sort, but with this girl being older, I wanted to do something more special.

I decided to consult my 4 year old girl and ask her what would be fun.  She immediately said a blanket and dolly.

So off to shopping I went to find the best fabric {with the help of my daughter, the expert, of course}.

So, I give you, Aubrey.

This cutie pie loved the quilt.  

I used Happy by Riley Blake 

I made a little toddler size lap quilt out of the charm pack and backed it with a soft yellow minky. 

Then I made a matching doll size quilt, backed with the same minky and had my daughter pick Aubrey out the "perfect" baby doll.

Simple little project that made a little girl super happy.  That's just my kinda of craft!

Remember our Father's Day sale ends June 16th!

Windsor Lane

Today we are featuring this lovely line.

Windsor Lane by Bunny Hill Designs

I think of spring/summer as being the time of year when lots of babies are born {is that just me? maybe it's just cause my baby is due soon!} Anyway, this line just screams baby projects to me.  It's go the soft, subtle pastels that work great for babies, and yet there is a sophisticated side that you could make a gift more elegant.  I LOVE the paisley and the stripes.  So sweet.

Head on over to our shop today.  Don't forget to take advantage of the sales for father's day going on now!

Father's Day Craft Ideas

So, if you are like me, its super hard to find a craft that you can do for dad, that is going to be useful and not just that's-cute-end-up-on-a-dusty-shelve gift.  But my kids LOVE to make stuff, so this year i have been on the search.  

I think i may have found a couple things that could be fun this year.

First up, Hands.

Or feet, if you prefer.
I stumbled upon this picture, via http://stacysewsassy.blogspot.com/
How cute/sweet would this be to frame your children's hands {or feet} for Dad to put on his desk at work, or in his office at home? I think yes.

Next, the Tie.
You really can't go wrong with giving dad a tie.  A home-made tie is even better, and lets the kids have creativity in selecting the fabric.
There are many, many tutorials out there for ties.  Try this one.

Lastly, my favorite.

The shirt of all shirts.

The Race Track T-Shirt.

How great is this?  Dad gets a back scratch.  Kids have a play space.  And mom?  well she gets to relax!  To me, this is a win-win-win gift for dad.  I must try this one out!
