Details to come!!

Making it personal.

Hi it's Tiffany's Mom again.

I was working on a T-shirt quilt when I had an "aha" moment. I have a t-shirt from the 2004 super bowl that I wanted to include. The design is small and seeing it in a quilt would be o.k. but not really all that exciting.

My new machine can embroider letters so I decided to add a bit more to the block. Now it is a conversation starter!

I had to buy a little stabilizer and a spool of thread but it changed a kind of plain block into something really interesting. If you are considering making a memory quilt or having us make one for you, remember that the little extra embellishment can make a huge difference!

Love,
Mom

Roadtrip and new obsession

Eryk and I went on a little roadtrip to Marfa, TX. A tiny town in west Texas that has an interesting artist/ hipster community... Not a lot to do there in January but it was nice to get away.

While there I found this shop called Wool and Hoop. The owner (and author of book below) was super sweet and very enthusiastic about crewel embroidery. So I got myself a little start kit and tried it out...
My first attempt at crewel embroidery... I liked doing it and Im sure Ill make a straight line with some practice. Katherine's work is much more impressive so you should check her and also see the amazing selection she has for sale online.

On the way home we caught this guy (squirrel at the bottom corner of the brown quilt, he wasnt keen on a closeup or mug shot ;)...) stealing batting out of a quilt. Guess quilt batting make for a pretty good nest insulter.

Ladybugs

Another custom baby quilt that I recently made. I like the back just as much as the front. My boyrfriend says he dosent really get the asymmetric piecing on the back of quilts, what do you guys think? I also used some cute coordinating ribbon on the front.

Last Project

I out this design on a baby quilt for a friend of mine. I like how it turned out and it really wasnt as hard as I had thought it was going to be! The best part is that the fabrics I used came from a package of flannel swaddling blankets I found at Target. Essentially the swaddling blankets are just 36 x36 pieces of flannel with a stitched edge (and about 4 for 8 bucks). The fabrics were to cute and already coordinating so why not? The truly awesome apart is that my friend had bought the bedding for the baby in the SAME design! Crazy! I had no one idea but it really worked out.

Few things we LOVE...

Mother nature
Adorable prints

Romantic escapes

Hope your all have a Love filled Valentines day!!
