virtual baby shower

A few weeks ago, Kirsten emailed and suggested that we do a virtual baby shower for a fellow member of the Wish Circle who is expecting a baby boy.  What a fantastic and thoughtful idea. Becky put together a mosaic for anyone who was able to participate and we planned to mail everything by May 1st so she could open all of the packages at the same time.

I have been very short on time lately, but I still wanted to participate so I made a pair of pants from Lotta Jansdotter's Simple Sewing for Baby.  I used kind of a crazy fabric, but I just love this print for a little boy.  I also made a little knit hat.

Between everyone in our circle we have quite a few kids, but this is the first baby to be born since our circle began last year.  Becky is such a great circle member and I am so excited for her!

What Shade Are You? Blog Hop & Giveaway

A few weeks ago RJR Fabrics contacted me to see if I was interested with working on a project using their solids.  I checked out their colors and was pretty smitten so I said yes. And they exceeded my expectations.  I mixed them in with some of the prints from Rashida Coleman Hale's new Mochi collection .  Since Cotton + Steel is actually a division of RJR fabrics, the RJR solids coordinate perfectly with the collections. The RJR Cotton Supreme Solids have a great selection of pinks (I think good pinks are the hardest to find) and my favorite is actually the neutral-y brown Driftwood color that I used for the binding.  It might not be cool to love brown, but I do, and Driftwood (color 297) will be filling a void in my stash.   The quilt looks more complicated than it actually is: each of the diamonds is made up of 2 triangles (so there are no y-seams) and I cut the fabric with my  favorite triangle ruler .      I didn't want the quiltin...
