Baby Jane Fridays are back!

A simple block to get back into the swing of things.  A couple weeks ago I switched from Windows to Linux and apparently during the switch my scanner has decided it doesn’t want to be a scanner anymore.  Hopefully it will change its mind because these pictures are horrible.

Apparently I can’t stop making blocks like this.  I love these colors and really want to keep it for the family room but it will probably end up in the shop sometime next week.

It’s like the crib quilt, just a lot (lot) bigger.

Time to pin, quilt and bind.

Trippy, bubbly, postmodern, whimsical (or maybe even poetic) quilt using Amy Butler’s Lotus collection and her new solids.

Words cannot explain the amount of fussy cutting/placing that went into this quilt.  When I started to point some of it out to Sean I think he thought I had completely lost it.

And on her bed.

I think she likes it.

So in case you find this in a Google search or just perusing around and you think you may want a quilt like this, I am (shockingly) willing to make it again.  You might just have to take out a second mortgage to pay for it though.

I still need to make the pillows, curtains and wallhangings.  I’ll post a picture of the whole room when I’m done.

Now that I’m done with the big part of this project, Baby Jane Fridays returns! Yay!

At least now it’s done. D - O - N - E. Done! DONE!

It’s in the wash now. Real pictures tomorrow.

Let’s not talk about how many hours I’ve spent on this in the past three days.  I hadn’t intended on spending that much time on it this weekend.  Oops.  Back to the huge pile of Etsy work tomorrow.

Eek!  So exciting.  All sewn together.

Taking a test drive on the bed.

And even a little quilting.

Eek!  It’s done!  I actually finished all the blocks.  Wow.  I never thought I’d be able to type that.

(See Miss Maeve’s quilt, Pink, Yellow, White, Green.)

The crib quilt portion of the project is complete.  On to the full/queen quilt.

And today at 8:24pm she turns four.  She is such an amazing little girl with an amazing love for life (and Curious George).

A quick little stroll down memory lane.

Fresh.

One.

Two.

Three.

And four.

Happy Birthday to my little girl.

Smiling, cooperating, looking at the camera, not pulling each other’s hair…  It was a good day.

And a small sample of the blocks (sans blue) together.  I totally love it (which is good because it’s taken me about a bazillion hours so far).

(See Miss Maeve’s quilt, Pink, Yellow, White.)

The crib quilt is pieced.  I think it came out nicely.

This is a project for a customer on Etsy using her amazing Ginger Bliss stash.  There will be a full/queen quilt, crib quilt, curtains and euro shams.  Today involved a lot of math, ironing and cutting.  I’ll start sewing tonight.

What happened to this week?  I can’t believe it’s Thursday afternoon already.

We took advantage of Maeve’s week inbetween school and camp and the nice weather today and headed out to the beach again.

Pretty castles…

Until Liamzilla makes a visit.

This is definitely their favorite spot.

Back to quilts tomorrow.

Freshcut Circles Quilt.

Perhaps from now on I should mention all quilts are made by Emily and Maeve.

(See Miss Maeve’s quilt, Pink, Yellow.)

Only two more colors (79 blocks) to go.

More Mario on Etsy.

In the decades since his first Sisyphian pursuit of a huge barrel-chucking gorilla, Mario’s legacy has built into mythic status. It was inevitable that some glorious day his epic battles with the infamous goombas and formidable (for turtles, at least) koopa troopas would be immortalized in that most ancient of media, the Quilt.

In this smaller sibling of our Super Mario Hidden Level quilt, Mario finds a Fire Flower — and prepares to power up with fireball-flinging flower power!

So grab a power-up and relax underneath this heroic iconography to relive this most horizontal of sagas, or perhaps use it to decorate your own castle. Whether you are a princess or a plumber, or even an unfortunate mushroom named Toad, this life-size homage cannot help but inspire you on your own quest for a plumber or princess (or, well, whatever mushrooms quest for which we shan’t go into here).

Approximately 40 x 50 inches inches (101 x 127 cm).  Big enough for two little kids or one big kid.

Laurel quilt now on Etsy.  It feels so good to be finishing up some projects this week!

One step back.

Two steps back.

Sniff.

This is the third fourth one (first, second, third) and is now listed on Etsy.
