This morning I finally bound a baby gingham quilt in blue that I have had in my pile for ages. The pattern is our Gingham Quilt Pattern that walks you through how to make both a baby quilt and a Queen size quilt using pre-cut 5 and 10 inch squares. In the past we've sewn up several pink versions as well as grey versions...but never a blue one until today. I really like how it turned out. Especially the binding...I usually bind with stripes or polka dots but today I went ... View the Post
Baby Quilt From Scraps
Earlier this spring I put together our Azure Skies Quilt Pattern using some Riley Blake solid fabrics that I really loved. And when I was finished I had a pile of scraps that were a variety of lengths but all the same width....and that got me thinking...and the next afternoon I stitched up all the scraps along with the left over white scraps from several quilt backings and BAM! I had a new baby quilt! It was a super quick sew since the pieces were already cut and were all the ... View the Post
Azure Skies Quilt Pattern in Solids
I made this quilt awhile back...but haven't shared it yet..it's our Azure Skies Quilt Pattern sewn up in Riley Blake solids!

Azure Skies Baby Romper
I have been making a few project out of Azure Skies that I am excited to show you. This baby romper is one of them and I was so excited to sew some kid clothes again.

The pattern size was 12 months so she should be able to wear it next summer or even next fall with a shirt and sweater. I did modify the pattern so as not to do snaps, but ... View the Post

Azure Skies Tiny Flowers & A Doll
As we were in the process of designing Azure Skies it was important to us to keep the same feeling as "Four Corners" (which this was a follow up line to) with it's simple patterns, geometric prints, and southwestern flavor....however, because this was the follow up to the first line we had ever released we wanted to try something new. So we added our first ever floral! And not just one but two different florals! And these florals were inspired by a combination of a few different ... View the Post
