it's already a new year!!! can you believe it, so far this year is just flying by. I spent the first 2 weeks sick. it was awful, I felt like I was pregnant again (which I'm not). Even being sick, I managed to still do some sewing.
I made a whole slew of bibs (again). I just love them, i've had several requests for them, and it's almost as easy to make 1 as it is to make 10. plus, these are great to have around for a simple baby gift. I've listed them in my shop.
*bib pattern found here.
I even used some of my sherbet pips scraps.

I also made some more potholders, i do love these potholders. they are big, and cute. These are also great to have around to give away. tutorial here.
and I made yet another zigzag quilt. this is exactly like the first one I made. I received an email asking if I could duplicate this quilt. I was lucky enough to find all the fabrics...many of them are out of print. I used this tutorial, and LOVE this quilt. I don't tire of zig zags.
Turns out, my first finish of 2011 is a duplicate. that's okay right? it's all about the process.
my first one here, and 2nd here.
Oh, and I also ordered a Blythe doll. I just adore all the cuteness that I see! I'm also a little scared to admit I bought a doll. At least I have a daughter to blame it on.

Did you follow or create a pattern/tutorial for your bibs? They are so cute! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletehi madhatcher, the pattern is found here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/jcasa
ReplyDeleteI Missed You. Hope you're feeling better. I like to visit your blog because I enjoy seeing how you use bright colors and small fun prints. Also the way you play bright colors up with white. Your projects are striking and fun.
ReplyDeleteThe potholders are just too adorable.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nettie!
ReplyDeleteLove everything! The zig zag is great - definitely on my to-do-list. I must wait for kids of my own to start buying all of the softies and dolls I want for myself... crossing my fingers for girls...
ReplyDeleteThese are so gorgeous! You're such a talented quilter. :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I needed baby bibs. I want to make baby bibs. I have to make baby bibs! What a fun scrapbuster and quilting playground!
ReplyDeleteEverything in this post is just too cute! I'm excited to see what you sew up for your Blythe! Who did you get?
ReplyDeleteThose bibs are like a bouquet of flowers! So colorful and pretty!
ReplyDeleteEverything you've made is just as pretty as can be, and don't feel a bit bad about buying a doll. I never do, and I'm a lot older than you!
ReplyDeleteI think those potholders are awesome!! And so is the zigzag quilt.
ReplyDeletethey are all adorable! Your potholders are especially lovely - what sweet little houses. If only I had some babies to make bibs for - mind you, our puppy needs one for the car - she drools terribly from carsickness - I wonder if she'd wear a bib ... :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your zigzag quilt and doubly impressed that you made 2 exactly the same!
ReplyDeleteI think you're lying, you couldn't possibly have been sick! Feel better and keep stitching, everything looks great!
ReplyDeleteCute quilt. I like the binding it makes the quilt.

The mermaid quilt is so beautiful and your sweet little projects are just so sweet!
ReplyDeleteWow, I just love those ocean-themed fabrics! You use such great color combinations in your work :)
ReplyDeleteyour work is beautiful, I adore your little bibs :)
ReplyDeleteAdorable bibs.
ReplyDeletei just love these! too cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing where you got your pattern! I ordered it yesterday. I've been wanting to make some bibs after seeing yours...but hate to be a copy cat! Now I don't have to feel bad! I like to support other hard working mamas! So thanks to J Casa too! But I might just have to copy those pot holders...so cute!
ReplyDeleteI used your tutorial to make one almost exactly like this. I love the Mendocino line, and I, too, adore zigzags. It's basted but not quilted yet.
ReplyDeleteI love looking through your blog! All your patterns/tutorials are wonderful! I was just wondering what fabric you used for the doors on the potholders. Those little girls are adorable!
ReplyDeletethese are the cutest potholders and bibs I have ever seen!
ReplyDeletevery nice and sweet. looks like it was made by hands, isn't it? or it was?? ...........
ReplyDeleteHow did you quilt your zigzag quilt together? I'm new to quilting and I love the way it looks. Would I need to take it somewhere to get that quilt design?
