Baby Clothes Memory (T-Shirt) Quilt
This quilt features clothes from a client's daughter'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 dresses were cut and combined into blocks and then sashed with a cream premium Kona cotton. The blocks were bordered with a pink leopard cotton and finally bordered with a fantastic abstract patterned cotton. The quilt was backed with hot pink flannel.. It was quilted with a scallop design on the cream sashing and free motion for the remainder.. Some extra fun bits: the jacket zipper functions; several blocks feature the footsies off pajamas, and the little girls name was appliqued onto a sweet "love" block.

We've all heard it a million times "no one _s anymore". Insert sewing, cooking, cleaning, or any one the hundreds of talents of generations past.
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.
