Posted in quilt squares, Quilting, Scrap Projects, Tutorials, tagged , , on April 4, 2012 | 2 Comments »

I’ve jumped on the bandwagon with this quilt, thanks to a tutorial by blue elephant stitches.  It’s granny squares and I”m going scrappy!  I intended to have this particular quilt {in another design} entered into Rachel of Stitched in Color’s Scrap Attack and admittingly, I didn’t finish in time.  Honestly, I didn’t even start it [...]

In spending quite some time pondering ideas for a new quilt for our living room, I think I have the golden ticket!  My hubby built me a really nice shelf/quilt hanger and I’ve just been using quilts I have at home for display.  None of them are quite right and I’ve known a new project [...]

Ruffle Napkin Tutorial

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Anna with Noodlehead inspired me to try this super handy and adorable gathered clutch.  I found her online tutorial in December of 2010.  At that time, I instantly thought of my girlfriend Amy’s birthday, which was that particular month.  So now that’s its June of 2011, is it belated or just early for this years [...]
