I made binding pincushions for my gift for everyone, along with two binding clips that color coordinated, and a little pair of scissors. I had a lot of fun making them!
See you next week ❤️

I hope you enjoyed this story, it really touched my heart ❤️
I made some doll clothes for Sabrina's 3rd birthday. It's a lot of fun making 18" doll clothes. They're not too tiny and all have velcro to close the backs instead of zippers, buttons or snaps.
I use these patterns when they go on sale at Joann's Fabric store.
I've made lots of doll clothes, here are some that I made for Lucy.
I made these clothes for Izzy's doll.
I made these clothes for Charlotte's doll and here too!
Clothes for Kennedy's doll.
An incredible fashion show for Kennedy's doll ❤️
I bet there are still more doll clothes in my future! Thanks for following me and see you again next week.
I went on a four day quilt retreat in Scottsdale, an hour from my home.
I had this quilt all cut out, and about 9 of the ghosts done. Even so, I finished the quilt just in time for our show and tell. I love it! It was so much fun choosing the fabric from my stash, I even had the orange print :)
I discovered Maileg mice about a year ago and fell in love ❤️
They are made in Denmark and can be found online too.
I am gaining a collection, my family have gifted some of them to me for my birthday! I decided to make little Hallowe'en costumes for my mice.
I've made over 30 of these fun birthday cake blocks! It's designed by Lori Holt and she designed it to celebrate the first anniversary of her first quilt book, Quilty Fun.
You can see the post on her blog here.
You can find the free block at Fat Quarter Shop here.
Take a look at Riley's birthday banner.
Here is Kylie's, she's 11 years old now!
Here is Taylor's.
Here's a tutorial and Reagan's.
Here is Bridger's and Maisie's.
Here is Paisley's.
Here is Rebecca's and Isabel's.
Here is Charlotte's.
Here is Jacob's.
Here is Neo's.
That's about all I can find, but you see that I've made so many of them! Truthfully, I love choosing the fabric for them from my scraps, usually. They're fun to make for my children and grandchildren!
Thanks for following and see you next week ❤️
I have a tradition with my grandchildren. Before they're ready to lose their first tooth, they draw a picture of the tooth fairy and send it to me.
I then recreate the drawing on fabric and embroider it to make an envelope for their tooth. You know how it's fun to write the tooth fairy a little note and see if she writes back!
Above is Riley's drawing and below is my interpretation in thread, lol!
I'm going on a quilt retreat in a few weeks. There's always a lot to do to prepare....I cut out this Reindeer Xing by Lella Boutique, to make at the retreat. I cut the fabric up and I'll sew it all back together again, lol! I worked on the cutting for a few days.
I like to prepare in advance, because who knows what might come up at the last minute and I won't have time to finish my preparations for the retreat. Besides, I'm really excited to go! It's just an hour away and it's for four days.
I just noticed that I forgot to sew the jumbo rick rack to the hem of the apron! I'll add it tomorrow.
Thanks for following me and have a great week ❤️
I made the Oh My Cacti quilt in baby size! The pattern is by Lindsey at Pen and Paper Designs. Lindsey always writes her patterns beautifully! The blossoms are quite time consuming though, there are a lot of pieces!
My Farm Girl quilt group is having a sew along. Our leader chooses 3 blocks each month, from one of Lori Holt's books. Flowers, butterflies, bees and hives. I am making mine from Ruby Star Society fabrics, and a Christmas silver print from Gingiber for the background. Our leader told us to choose the last four 6" blocks ourselves. There are just so many options! I think we get our finishing pattern at the end of this month, and we will go with our finished quilt tops, to the August meeting. It will be so much fun to see everyone's quilts. Even though we have the same blocks, I'm sure the quilts will look very different!
I did make a top secret baby quilt which I'll share with you next week!
I made a cute "Peek A Boo Pumpkin quilt, it's a free pattern from Jenny Doan at Missouri Star Quilt Co. It's very big (72X85) and is meant to hang on your front porch. I might hang mine on Halloween night but if I leave it up during the Halloween season, the sun will fade the beautiful oranges and blacks. You don't need skills to make this quilt, it's all 5" unfinished blocks, and some half square triangles. It's very beginner friendly.
Do you see Paisley playing peek a boo?
Here is the link to the Youtube video at Missouri Star.
Here is the link to the pattern.
I hope you were inspired to make one of these quilts for yourself :) See you again next week ❤️
I made the Snails quilt, designed by Lindsey at Pen and Paper Patterns. Over a year ago now, I visited London with my daughter Lindsay and her husband and four children. We made a trip to the Liberty of London store. It was so beautiful! I bought some fat quarter bundles with high hopes of making something wonderful.
All the snail shells are Liberty of London fabrics. I was able to choose fabric to coordinate, for the bodies, and chose a light gray Ruby Star Society print for the background.
I really wanted to give the quilt to Lucy, she loves little animals, and she loves a quilt with a minky background! She is turning 11 years old in August. My daughter Lindsay took all the photos.
