Sewing Marathon

My friend came to visit for the weekend. All we did was buy fabric, sew, and listen to country music – that is so my kind of weekend! Here are a few projects we made. (There were 2 other small quilts and a table runner that I didn’t get pictures of because we were so busy!)

The quilt is for her little boy’s toddler bed.
These items are for her little girl’s birthday. We made a skirt, headband, and cross-body purse. I love the fabrics!

The Rapunzel Bedroom

Here goes the transformation of a “Rapunzel” inspired room. Lots of spray paint will be involved!!!I got these frames from thrift shops and garage sales. I took the pictures and glass out and spray painted them heirloom white.


If you preorder the “Tangled” DVD from the Disney store you get 4 Tangled prints and a $10 coupon – no brainer! I knew I wanted to use the pictures in Sally’s room, but they are a funny size. So, I used the over sized frames and just tacked the picture in the center – I love how it looks!
I already had this quilt but needed to fix it up a bit. I cut lavender circles and flowers out and appliqued/quilted them right on top and I love the new look it gives.

New flower center and the quilting is swirled
I finally painted this little night stand that I got at a garage sale – 2 of them for $5! It began as a yellow flowered night stand with brass handles – I’m sure you’ve seen the look. One can of Heirloom white later and I love it! We also spray painted the thrifted jewelry box and the thrifted mirror! (notice the Cinderella perfume, it was from Santa and smells so cute!)
I sewed a little quilt to go on top of the nightstand. I love how it turned out – super simple I think it took and hour start to hand sewn binding!
I used the puff balls from the birthday party and hung them in the Rapunzel room. The puff balls were made from white tissue paper and I lightly spray painted the edges pink or purple so they have a softer, blended feel.

Little Birdy Quilt



I made this cute “birdy” quilt for a friend who was very sick.   She was so happy when I showed up at her door and handed it to her.  It made me feel happy to!  That’s the best part about quilts – giving them away to people you love and care about!!! 
I love the hand-stitched birdy legs!
 
There is flannel on the back & some pieces of the main fabric pieced in there too.  Don’t mind the kid’s toys in the backyard 🙂

Quilt for my Sister-in-Law

I helped my sister-in-law sew this quilt when we were together. I took it home and quilted it for her. It turned out really cute! I love the colors – they are very “her”.

4th of July Quilt


My Liberty Quilt is finished! I love this Moda Red, White, and Bold line. I wish they would have it forever! I also love pinwheels – and I like them mixed in with solid blocks so you can really see the pinwheel. Lately I have been appliqueing words in my quilts. I also love the scrappy border – just pick up what’s left on the floor when you finish your quilt top and make a border!

A Circus Theamed Baby Shower

My friend, Mary, is having her first baby – we threw her a “Circus” baby shower last night.


I made Mary this cute polka dot quilt – I didn’t want to cut the fabric up, so I just quilted it. On the back is blue polka dot flannel – it’s like a receiving blanket quilt! It matched the “Circus” theme shower so cute!
We had popcorn, darling mini cupcakes,
Cotton Candy,
and caramel apples that you top yourself (nuts, chocolate chips, toffee & sprinkles)

Then we played a few circus inspired games and opened gifts. It was super fun!
