This quilt features clothes from a client's son's first year of life. The client held onto her favorite pieces of clothing, and when ready sent the clothes to me. The tiny shirts, pants, jackets, and a little lovie were cut and combined with bright quilters cotton in a path pattern (pattern "Jungle Path"). This pattern is especially suitable for baby clothes quilts - it adds pattern without overwhelming the little clothes. It was quilted in a wave pattern. Where appropriate I added free-motion quilting to accentuate the fun features. This quilt was backed in a soft polka-dot minky. Some extra fun bits: several blocks feature the feet from footsie pajamas. The back of the quilt includes several pieces of fabric the client had purchased in Japan where her son was born.

My love for sewing started out as a little girl watching my own mommy work up clothes and different crafts. The first thing I sewed was a little cloth with about 15 buttons on it. I was seven years old. In the years since I've continued to learn new sewing skills to build on the basics my mom taught me.
I've been quilting for 12 years now and have no plans on stopping. My favorite quilt to make are those featuring baby clothes. No other sewing puts a smile on my face like creating a one-of-a-kind keepsake filled with little tiny clothing pieces. I'm a sentimental soul, and even the whiffs of old spit up I get while ironing the clothes make me happy.
After having my first daughter was born in 2010, I wanted to find a way to supplement our household income while staying home with her. So I began offering my skills for sale. And set up my basement (a.k.a. The Dungeon) for large scale quilting and sewing. You will see different items pop up in my shop from time to time. If I make something for The Toddler, The Baby, or myself that I particularly like I want to share the fun.
