Space Invader Quilt

Posted in Family, Quilting, tagged on December 29, 2011 | 4 Comments »

Previous posts here & here. Yahoo, I finished just in time to wrap this “quilt of awesomeness” and stick it under our Christmas tree for Cheyenne.  Unfortunately, I didn’t get the decorative pillow done.  Luckily, he didn’t seem to notice or care for that matter.  I’ll get the pillow done in the next few days.  [...]

Vintage Napkins by Sweet Lulu A few months back, Malia mentioned how much she liked these napkins by Sweet Lulu.  They were priced at $9.00 each, which is fair, but we thought she could make them.  The tricky part is finding that 70′s vintage vibe fabric.  Malia is still hunting down her options.  In the [...]

Wonky Star Christmas Pillow

We needed more storage for the boy’s board games, so I sifted through our hall closet and got rid of pillows, blankets, and anything we weren’t using.  I found a pillow insert that I thought would be perfect for a Wonky Star Christmas Pillow.  It measured 19″ X 13″.  So, my quilted pillow top is [...]

Yay for days out of the office, especially when they are an unexpected treat.  I’ve been needing to get Carmen’s crayon apron going, so I did just that with my time off.  I happened across the crayon apron concept a while back.  Yesterday, I did a google search and found some great pictures for inspiration.  [...]

Owlettes {Phase 2}

After completing phase 1 of my owlettes, improvements were necessary.  Isaac’s owlette just wasn’t settling with me.  Plus Luke & Carmen’s eyes were too far apart…must fix now!  Isaac’s eyes are now much larger and more proportionate to his body frame.  And I moved Luke & Carmen’s eyes closer together, much better!  Cheyenne inherited Isaac’s [...]

Owlettes {Phase 1}

I admit, I’m not one of those crazy for ‘everything owl’ people, but owls happen to be significant to our family.  Interestingly enough, {my 9 yr old son} Cheyenne’s father’s side of our family & my now-a-days hubby have the same Hawaiian ʻaumakua, The Owl. “ʻAumākua are intimate members of the human family, spiritual relationships [...]

I’m still not quite sure how I fit this all in, but I’m so happy to report that I’ve finished Luke’s Extreme Team quilt.  He’s still getting a decorative pillow that I have yet to start, but that I can whip up in no time. ::Extreme Team:: {Twin Size Quilt} Kona in Glacier Binding & [...]

Just Plain Progress

Posted in Family, Quilting, tagged , , on December 7, 2011 | 2 Comments »

Last week was jam-packed with “to-dos.”  It’s not often I accomplish everything on my sewing list, so I’m celebrating.  Possibly to a fault being that I have 5 papers due by Monday and I haven’t started yet.  Not to mention studying for 2 finals next week.  Nope haven’t done that either.  That’s boring stuff and [...]
