Puffy Quilts

So I've decided I like these. I don't need this many puffy quilts for myself but I would keep them, just to have them. So I just keep making them. Just like when I was 9 and just wanted Cabbage Patch Dolls, I would still buy them for myself just to have them now. Just something I like. (My kids have my Cabbage Patch dolls but if I could, I'd keep them in my room and still dress them up).

Girly apron set

This is a new apron set that I made. Camille was very mad that it wasn't for her. I'll keep it mind for a Christmas present for her! What does anyone think?

Another puff quilt

So I finished another puff quilt, this one is a lot smaller so it didn't take as long. I like the color combination. I like the edging too- don't know what it's called but it's pointy triangle fabric. Does anyone have anything to say about the size or border? Smaller, bigger? Any other suggestions?

Not exactly...

Well, I finished my puff quilt but the edges and binding don't look quite right. I think I stretched the rows a bit when I added the border so then it puckered up, then I added some batting and it made it a little more weird and then I "stitched in the ditch" and it doesn't look straight even though it is... so I need to rework how I finish the edges. But I love the puffy part in the middle! So back to the sewing machine to make the edges differently but maybe still for the craft fair or etsy???

Beginning of a puff quilt

I decided to try some small baby puff quilts. I've always loved how they looked. I'm keeping track of how much time they take to make so I can see if it'd be worth it to try them for a craft fair in November. My first one has taken about 5 hours so far, that sounds like a lot. All I need to do now is stuff the pockets with fiberfil, sew the rows together, bind it and maybe tie it in a few spots. What do you think?The squares all laid out

They are all puckered up and ready for stuffing.

Just think of all the color possibilities!

Another giveaway

So I entered another giveaway. Who doesn't love free stuff? Haven't done too much crafting that is finished yet to post more pictures. Working on some longer projects that are no where near being done yet!

Valentine's art

Hey- I won that giveaway I entered! That's the first thing I've won in a LONG TIME! So if anyone wants little vinyl families cut out, let me know. Now I can do it!

This is one of the first projects I've made up on my own for awhile. I knew I wanted something that looked like subway art and something for my very blank entry way for Valentine's day. So my friend brought some of her font cartridges for our cricut machines over and we spent a few hours crafting and this is what I ended up with. I'm thinking I want to spray the frame white and distress it. If I painted it black it would blend into the background mat. Now to make something to go with this....
