Here it is! The Harry Potter Quilt is competed- quilted- and ready to ship! I am sure they will love it!
Today I finished monogramming cheerleader tops. The team’s company went out of business and they were left with 5 shirts without the school logo. I used the “Yearbook Outline” font to match the other tops. Here they are!
The top of the Harry Potter quilt is completed. I added the borders. Each cornerstone has an embroidered House Crest and a checker board design in their house colors.

My Godson and his wife will be having a baby. The theme is Harry Potter! So excited to be making a custom Harry Potter Quilt for them. Working on the grid now. This quilt will be lots of fun to make!!!
Custom ordered quilt for a baby girl. Lavender color fabric was chosen for the border and the sashing. 36 large hearts and 7 smaller hearts are appliqued into the quilt. An elegant heart and swirl design are quilted into the border design and simple loops in the sashing.
Just finished another T-Shirt Quilt! Band theme with some over-sized shirts. Hand dyed gray fabric.
Very Busy Holiday Season!
I made four memorial quilts for a customer. Now that the family was given their beautiful quilts, I can publicly post the whole process.(With permission, of course)! Enjoy the “Marking of four Memorial Quilts, from Scraps to Treasures”.
Now that the blocks are made, it time to Embellish!!
I often get asked how long does it take to make a quilt. My answer is always-- "It Varies". Sometimes I can complete a quilt in a week-end and others it takes months. The quilts I am working on now falls into the months category.
Crazy patch quilts take a long time to make because they consist of multiple fabrics, decorative stitches and construction. To create the block, fabrics must be prepped, cut, ironed and sewn together. Each block takes about 30 mins. just to sew together. That is roughly 8 hours to construct all the blocks for one quilt. That is not including the time to prep, cut or embellish each block.
The video is a mini tutorial of how one block is constructed. (part 1)
Enjoy the process!

Just Love the light scent of these new lotion bars. Made from Bees Wax, Olive Oil, Shea Butter and Pure Honey Fragrance Oil.
I started making soap in the Spring of 2016. Little did I know at the time how much fun it would be. It basically took on a life of its own.
