I had some fun with these crazy girls - and they both had birthdays to celebrate - so we had some partying too!
For the past several years I've made them birthday pillows - my pattern in the Martingale book Sew the Perfect Gift. This year I forgot to make new ones and they reminded me that they're not 5 and 3 any more. So the first thing I did when I got home was make new pillow covers...
I also started a new quilt this week! A Tumbler quilt has been on my to-do list especially after seeing Candace's "For the Birds" version. Yesterday I pulled some fabrics in happy colors of aqua, navy, green, pink and gray. I'm using this big print from Gracie Girl as my color inspiration and thinking it may make the perfect backing fabric.
The cutting went super quick using the "Crumbler", a nifty ruler from Carrie Nelson at Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. I think I'm ready to start sewing!
And finally, my October Lucky Stars BOM. This may be my favorite one so far :)
Love your Lucky Star! Great fabric choices, as always.
ReplyDeleteWow you several awesome and pretty quilts in the making! Love "On a Whim" blocks. Tumbler is going to be so pretty too! The "Lucky Star" block is wonderful too!
ReplyDeleteThat Star is gorgeous and I love your Florence blocks!
ReplyDeleteI still need to make my Lucky Star for October (and September and August!). Yours is lovely!
ReplyDeleteAs usual... I love it all! The girls - love that picture the most - the blocks, the fabrics... you're just your own little eye-candy shop. Thank you - and I look forward to seeing how your tumbler - crumbler - quilt turns out. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful projects! I love the idea of birthday pillowcases. And your DS blocks are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI think tumbler quilts are one of my favorite to make. I have only made one (http://sewnbyleila.blogspot.com/2011/11/baby-janes-quilt.html) but it was lots of fun.
All three quilts you're working on are so lovely!
ReplyDeleteAll your projects are lovely as always! I love the colors and fabrics that you chose for your tumbler quilt and I am crazy excited to see how it turns out!

The Lucky Stars BOM is awesome, the colors are great! I also love your On a Whim blocks. This pattern is on my list of quilts to make. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteI love your On a Whim blocks, great use of Florence! Thanks for linking up, Cindy. : )
ReplyDeleteLoving your fabric choices. I just finished a tumbler quilt for a baby and posted a couple of days ago with my new template. I will definitely be making another one. They are really fun.
ReplyDeleteEvery time you post your projects I always say to myself, "Oh, I love that. I should do that, too!" When are you coming to KC to sew with me!!? Your grand daughters are so adorable....love those pillowcases, too.
