Little Boys' Ties

So... i'm working on a pattern. For little boy's ties. Yes, there may be about a million, BUT i like mine best {smiles}. For my little sister's wedding i was enlisted to make 3 little boys ties out of 2 adult ties. I had to be creative because surprisingly two adult ties is just barely enough for three little boys ties.

So i figured i would work on my new tie pattern and turn it into a little tutorial of sorts. That will be coming soon. I need one more run at the pattern before i unleash it on all of you {haha, all four of you...three being my family! ;)}

Alas, i am excited. I think the ties are SUPER cute. They are from Pure by Sweetwater for Moda {that's a mouth full}. My kids are pretty darling too! I hope you enjoy!

McCoy Quilt

Hello hello! So i am trying to go back and post many of the projects i have worked on over the last two years. It's not a terribly large amount, so this won't take too long!

This is the quilt i made for my little sister for her wedding. I loved the colors of the fabric and the quality was to die for. I will never quilt with generic fabric again! The quality was superb! The fabric was Moda (the same as Baby Hammy's quilt). I followed this tutorial from the Moda Bakeshop and it turned out beautifully! I added one extra row of diamonds so that it was a little wider for two people *newlyweds never separate*

The batting is a medium loft which made it extra comfy (and warm... sorry Garrett!) I hand sewed around the white diamonds with yellow and brown embroidery floss (similar to Baby Hammy Quilt) and i tied the larger colored diamonds with yarn.

I really liked how it turned out! I do love quilting (though it's seriously time consuming)!

*Pictures were taken during bridal shower... note to self: remember to take pictures!*

Pinwheel Quilt

Wow. Crafting has been few and far between over the last little bit. A not sleeping baby and me exhausted equaled a lot of naps (for me)! So it took a while BUT...

I'm done! My first little baby girl quilt is finished! *and it may or may not have made me baby hungry for a little girl* maybe...just maybe... My sister-in-law is pregnant with a little girl after two boys. I was just through the moon excited for her so i knew i had to sew her something girl appropriate.

So pinwheels it was. I had triangles left over from a quilt i made for my little sister's wedding (posted here.) Perfect choice for pinwheels. I had quilted with pink and yellow alternating embroidery floss and i just love how it looks! The fabric came from Moda Layer Cakes--but i don't know the line.

Little girl stuff is definitely fun! Enjoy!
