REDWORK Feature!

Awhile back,  I ran a post about Redwork.   I love its timeless look!    Here's a beautiful WINNIE THE POOH quilt made by Francis S.!  She told me this quilt was made a few years ago....and it is still one of her favorites.

The DETAILS:

Thanks for sharing, Francis ~ fabulous job!  

Have a great day, everyone!  :o)



Quilt Feature ~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Just have to share this AMAZING "Happy Birthday" quilt made by Cath H. from Australia!    This idea of a gender-neutral table-topper is just fab, as it can be used over & over again.   What a great piece to keep in the family as well!    Here's a photo of the quilt:

The details I love:

~ the birthday cake in the center

~ the appliqued words "happy birthday to you"

~ the brown fabric that looks like chocolate!

~ the beautiful meandering quilting stitch

Here's a closeup:

I could certainly sit down at this table and eat a couple of yummy cupcakes, how about you?!   AMAZING job, Cath!   Thanks for sharing!

Although we don't have many prints left that were used in Cath's quilt....here are a few cupcake/party prints for inspiration:

Timeless Treasures Tossed Cupcakes on Pink

Michael Miller Sweet Treats Pink

Timeless Treasures Sweet Cupcake Sprinkles Multi

Alexander Henry Cupcake Pink

Have a happy weekend everyone!  :o)

QUILT FEATURE ~ Stablemates!

STABLEMATES is one of the best equestrian lines I've seen!   We could barely keep this line in stock ~ and finally ordered all that we could find when we were told by Spectrix the line was discontinued.

These fabrics make a lovely quilt ~ as you can SEE!   Take a peek at what Nell G. created:

She made this S.P.E.C.T.A.C.U.L.A.R. quilt for a 10 year old girl who looooves horses!   I can only imagine how absolutely THRILLED this sweet girl must be! 

Here is something really special about the quilt....take a closer look at the quilting, it is stitched in the shape of horseshoes:

Clever, very very clever....I LOVE it!

We still have some of this amazing line in stock, you can check out STABLEMATES by SPECTRIX HERE!

QUILT FEATURE ~ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

Francis S. shared photos of her  MADE ~ TO ~ P.E.R.F.E.C.T.I.O.N.  Merry Grinchmas Quilt.   Here's a picture:

She is making a Grinch quilt for each of her grand kids for Christmas!   (shhh....don't tell them!   I hope they don't read blogs, haha....cause I wouldn't want to spoil an amazing surprise!)

Here's another photo, where you can see the backing:

A walk down memory lane.....I remember looking forward to watching the Grinch on T.V. each year at Christmas-time!  Remember....before we had DVR,  DVDs or even VHS tapes....we had to WAIT for the show to be broadcast on one of the major networks ~ and set your clock, because if you missed it, there was little chance of seeing it another time.   I loved having a big ole' bowl of popcorn in my hands while watching shows such as the Grinch, Peanuts Christmas, etc.   And the Christmas tree lights were always twinkling in the background.  Great memories!

Riley Blake's FEELING GROOVY Project ~ Quilt Feature

Lydia sent us photos of this fab quilt that she made for her niece!   She used many fabrics from Riley Blake's FEELING GROOVY collection.    How sweet is this?!

and here is a photo of the quilt on her niece's toddler bed:

It's perfectly sweet & fun for a little girl...I especially like the appliques that Lydia added, they give a special touch!

Alexander Henry's WILLOW GROVE ~ Quilt Feature!

It's no secret....I love Alexander Henry Fabric! One of my favorites is Willow Grove in the red, pink, and orange colorstory. It has such flair. I was thrilled to see photos of a quilt made with many of the Willow Grove coordinates....Helen from Australia sent me these pictures of her A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. quilt:

Look how the colors POP!

and here is the back:

Helen made this quilt for her young daughter....I think she is one lucky girl!


If you'd like to have a bit of Willow Grove for your own stash, here is the main print:

CLICK HERE to see WILLOW GROVE!

A little story:   This print had been out of stock for quite awhile and we had heard it wasn't coming back....in fact, I called Alexander Henry and was told this design wasn't being sent back for re-print.     Disappointed, yes...but I knew more fab prints would be coming so I pretty much forgot all about those outstanding bolts on my order from August 2010.     Sooo....what a great surprise to have 2 more bolts of Willow Grove land on our doorstep about a month ago! That's some good luck for our customers....now ya'll can have Willow Grove in your stash if you missed it the first time! We also have a few of the coordinates, they are on the Alexander Henry page.

Thanks, Helen, for sharing your beautiful quilt with us! Keep up the great work!

Little Engine That Could Quilt

Suzanne has offered to show us her baby quilt that was used for a gift. This is made from VIP Exclusives "The Little Engine That Could" fabric line and from the free online pattern in our shop. This was a baby gift for a special little guy.

The colors are so sweet in this line of fabric, colorful, yet they have a vintage feel to them as well.

The back is cute with the train stripe down the back of the quilt. You can find this fabric and free online pattern HERE in our shop! This is perfect for a little boy and would be adorable paired with the book and quilt together as a gift.
