I sent the quilt to Ms. Carrie in Georgia who quilted it with a lovely pumpkin seed design that framed the circles perfectly! The border was quilted in a large floral pattern. I had a white bed skirt that did not go with the cream in the quilt so I made a new one from the Morning Glory and Cherry Moon Dot fabrics. I ended up having some left over scraps so I worked with those and made some accent pillows and pillow cases.
A while back while looking on Etsy I had seen a cute idea making wall art from bits of fabric and have been dying to try it out! I took the now tiny scraps I had left and adheard them to a sheet of Heat N Bond and traced a petal pattern on the paper backing. After cutting them out I randomly laid them out on a large piece of natural duck canvas and ironed them down. Super easy and quick project and it turned out awesome! I framed it in a 20" x 26" poster frame I bought at walmart for $20.
Turns out the dreary and cool weekend was a productive one after all. We even managed to get a couple naps in! When the sun did finally shine on Sunday, the guys took the new puppy, Ranger, on his first "adventure" looking for arrowheads at the deer plot where Chipper managed to fall in some water from Saturday's storms. Judging from how soaked and dirty he was when he showed up at the front door yelling for a towel, it must have been a large one!
Hopefully I will be able to get a few more orders done this week in between baseball practice, work, and all the other stuff that comes along!
I am lovin the cute new Easter baskets! They are fun to make ;) This was a special order for my fiance's co-worker.
