Quilt for Amie's princess

 As you may know, in the past two years Amie (Kitty Cats and Airplanes) and I have become regular craft buddies and now friends. As soon as I found out Amie was having a baby, I knew I was going to make a quilt for her, and as soon as she told me she was having a little girl I went to work. I started a classic pinwheel quilt in bright colors back in May but everything was put on hold with the house sale and all the craziness that ensued. 
A couple of weeks ago it dawned on my that I needed to finish the quilt soon since Amie's baby shower was fast approaching. Then I stubbled on an adorable floral in chocolate and aqua. I matched it up with a simple chocolate polka dot fabric and a damask print in aqua to make these fun pinwheel blocks.

A white paisley border completed the design 




And since I had some left over strips from cutting the blocks for the front, I used them up for the back for a fun 9-patch




I used the same cute floral for the biding


I think Amie likes it, and I can't wait to meet her little princess  :)

Shades of grey necklace

The advantage of beads is that it doesn't take much space. So I managed to find a small spot to squeeze my beads in the apartment and I'm still making jewelry ... 


This one combines two tones of Swarovski crystal pearls and some square sparkle spacers


I love how it goes with pretty much any outfit

Hour glass quilt

A couple of months ago, I posted about a  quilt I was starting . I did finish it back at the end of April... just before the whole house madness truly kicked in. I never got around to editing the pictures even less writing a blog post.

So there it is ...



More of a traditional quilt than any that I've made before

 


But a modern twist in the quilting


Perfect size to snuggle with Bug on the couch



Thanks Nike for the pretty fabrics ... this one is staying with me :)
