a stroller quilt

 

I put a stack of fabrics together a while ago that I really liked, cut a random amount of 5" squares from each fabric, made some HST's, and came up with this.  It was a quick and relaxing sew and turned out the perfect size for a little stroller or crib quilt or playmat.  It measures 27.5" x 36".  As you can tell I have a strict Quality Control department that thoroughly tests everything before I list it, haha!  I have another just like it in more feminine colors going through the machine right now.  This one is listed in my Etsy shop LadyFaceMakes.

Abby's Meow quilt

Last week I finished Abby's quilt!

I wanted to get this done for her birthday (back in April...) but it just didn't happen, and that's okay.  

I used Aneela Hooey's Meow Quilt pattern and made 12 blocks, using several fabrics from Lizzy House's Catnap collection, mainly for the background and several of the individual blocks. And yes, I need a legit camera.  And to not take pictures of my feet.  Apologies.

It is the perfect size for her little Ikea toddler bed but at the rate she is growing it will be too short way too soon (did I mention she learned to ride her bike without training wheels this week? Yeah.). I backed it in a light pink old flat sheet we had in the linen closet that never got any use.  

I used an Art Gallery Elements (I think?) print in a bright pink to bind it.  And did I tell you what she said when I unceremoniously showed it to her?

She goes, "that's nice mom. But I really actually wanted a giraffe quilt with dark blue on the back." 

Ha!! So anyway, I know she likes it, but her tastes are changing and fast! Next time I won't take so long to get something made for her! The baby LOVES it though so it will absolutely get used a lot, even if not by the intended recipient.  Aren't kids hysterical?!

wip Wednesday

Hello! I haven't linked up to a wip Wednesday in an eternity, but it's good to be back.

I'm trying to get two projects finished this week.  Both are at the quilting stage and if we didn't have the owner of our house coming for an inspection tomorrow I'd to it tonight, but now I have to clean (I hate renting!!).

First is this tiny baby quilt that will go in my Etsy shop.  I loved putting this together and see myself doing more solids and simple prints in the future.  I think this is much more representative of my "quilting style" than lots of my previous projects have been even though it's a pretty basic combination.  

Second is this quilt for Abby, you might remember from my posts about the blocks, but it's taken me forever to go from quilt top to basted quilt sandwich.  I hate basting and our living room is barely big enough for it, so I'm easily nudged into procrastination when it comes to this step.  I'm pretty excited for it to finally be done and for her to use it! 

Two new quilts in the shop

These quilts were finishes a few weeks before Samantha arrived but I just got them listed in my Etsy shop (LadyFaceQuilts). I hope you'll take a look! 

Happy almost weekend!
