Finna goes to bed around seven or seven thirty and I decided to take advantage of the evening to get some sewing done. Nothing truly exciting, just some quick and easy burp cloth embellishments. Cupcakes:

I know my cupcake has a plethora of blankets, but I just couldn’t resist making her one more . . .
Bunny Hill Quilt

I bought this Moda Bunny Hill Designs Lily & Will fabric back in the U.P. for Baby Sully’s hope chest. I started cutting out the star sampler quilt blocks a few months ago (before I was pregnant) and this weekend I finally finished with the hand-stitched binding! (warning: my pictures do not do this pretty quilt justice!)
There are two of each type of 12″ blocks on the outer border (except the center ones: there are four of those) located opposite each other on the quilt. The color values are different, but they really are pairs. See? The center star is 16″ surrounded by scrappy 8″ stars. I never do scrappy, so that was a fun change for me.
Giraffes

Using the same fabric in my circus mat, I made a mommy and a baby giraffe using McCall’s pattern M6136.
Super cute!

Flannel Elephant

Aug
I made a little flannel elephant using my patchwork gifts book.
He is stuffed with scrap cotton quilt batting. The elephant print flannel is from Jo-Ann’s (back when I lived in Tennessee) and the brown polka dots on the ears is from Wal-Mart in the UP.
So cute!
Oops! I guess he needs a tail!
Love,

Beatrix Potter Soft Alphabet Book

When I lived in Michigan, on each trip to Illinois I liked to visit some fabric shops with Mom Sullivan. On one of those excursions I found a Beatrix Potter alphabet panel for sewing into a book.
Travel Bag

I made a trip to Ohio this past weekend to see my beautiful Mom for Mother’s Day. Mom and Dad generously flew me out to Columbus, which was a perfect opportunity to sew a travel bag using this tutorial I found online.
Another Envelope Pillow Cover

I used some French General fabric to make a coordinating pillow cover.
Birthday Bags

Apr
Like at Christmas, I decided to sew some bags for my birthday gifts to save Brendan from wrapping them. I used fabric that was already in my stash, too, so it was totally “green”.
There are neon green cupcake printed bags with purple cherry printed trim, desserts with pink/purple tops, and a little bag with puppies and a brown trim (brown fabric used on my pillow).
Love,
Tiff
P.S. Don’t you just love that swiss-cake roll printed fabric?! It has a SWISS-CAKE ROLL on it!! What’s not to love?!
