Finished! Finally!


I, Marthe, have four kids. I planned to make each of them a quilt for their big kid bed. My second oldest is now 6 and a week or so ago I finally finished his quilt. I put alot of time and thought into these quilts, as I do all of my quilts, and I wanted this on to be just perfect! I think it turned out quite nice.
I did not quilt this one myself. I do not have the right equipment to quilt this size quilt. So I sent it off to be quilted, and Janet did a beautiful job! I couldn't be more pleased with how this one turned out! And Tommy was so excited to wake up one morning to find that I finished it and put it on him while he slept.

Trick or Treat!

The months from September thru December are my favorite. I don't love winter so much, but I love the holidays. My birthday in September, Halloween in October, Thanksgiving in November and Chirstmas in December. And so in honor of this time of year I made this quilt. When I fisrt saw this fabric I fell in love with it! It is the cutest Halloween fabric ever!

I took my kids to Wheeler Farm yesterday. I remember going to a haunted house there one year a long time ago. I love to be scared, so long as the scare is not real. As kids we would watch scary movies with our dad.

So here is the first of holiday quilts for our etsy shop. I know there will be at least one Christmas one in the next month or so. I am working on the quilting for one quilt and getting ready to applique on another. I also have more peasant dresses to sew. So check back next week for more cute things to come!

Just finished!

I just love this little purse. It's about 6 in. tall, 8 in wide and 2 in deep. I just love the flower with all different fabrics. It has a pocket on the back (it is shown in the last picture), a pocket on the inside (the second to last picture), and it has a magnetic closure. This purse will not be added to our Etsy shop. Sad I know, as you are all probably loving it! But do not worry because we will be giving this purse away on a little etsy love. You can find that blog here http://etsyfix.blogspot.com Take a look at her site and see what others have to offer. And if you don't happen to win, still no worries... We will be making more purses like this one.
