11 weekend sewing.

Sorry for the silence last week, I keep getting sick! Maybe I'm allergic to Michigan? That would be sad.  Anyway, I feel much better now and was able to get some sewing done this weekend. This is a pillow for my friend Emily who is having a baby in a few weeks!

 Her nursery is decorated around the Alexander Henry 2D zoo print, so I fussy cut a giraffe from the print for the focal point of the pillow. It's hard to tell in the pictures but I also hand quilted around the giraffe to make it stand out a bit more.

 I quilted it in straight lines following the log cabin design of the pillow.

 The 2D Zoo is framed with the wave print from Ty Pennington's Impressions, lime Kona, a blue shot cotton and some AH Heath.

I'm really happy with the way this turned out!  Hope you like it Emily!

3 lovely designs: custom baby bedding.

The next big project in my queue is custom baby bedding for my friend Kelly at Blush!nk.  She wants something modern and graphic with lots of patterns mixed together.  And no cutesy animal prints in sight!  Kelly actually came up with the design of the quilt on her own, and I think it's great!  I can't wait to start sewing it together for her little baby boy!

The blue on top is not quite so drastic in person, and the fabric that is second from the bottom is actually nice buttery yellow color.  The crib skirt, bumper, and pillows will all coordinate with the quilt.  I'm so excited to see how it all turns out!  This is going to be a fun one.
