Well, hello and welcome back! Indeed, let me welcome myself back to this little blog. The thing is, I haven't had as much time for quilting in the past two years, and I haven't felt much motivation to blog. But I do feel that "keeping up" with the quilting community inspires me to keep sewing. It feeds my creativity and my motivation.
So sharing a blog post or two every now and then will hopefully keep me connected to my quilting (and other) friends and keep me motivated and on track in my quilting goals. Also, I just like to have pictures of my quilts in one spot. That's here. There are a few quilts that I made last year that I was in such a hurry to gift that I didn't even photograph them. Now, that makes me sad! At the time, I didn't think that I cared too much. But it turns out, I do. So here's to better documentation of my quilts!
As it turns out, this is my THIRD quilt out of these "Wee Wander" by Sarah Jane fabrics. The other two were baby quilts (seen here) that were given to a friend and sister-in-law for their new babies. But this one is for MY baby! Actually, it's for my oldest baby, Elyse, for her ninth birthday.
The pattern is called "Red Velvet" by Camille Roskelley, and gee did I wish I had a bigger design wall when planning this quilt. My sweet husband was a dear to put up with it sitting (in dozens of pieces) on the bedroom floor for what turned into two weeks!
We're always told not to play favorites, but heck - this print (above) is mine! The girl reminds me of how I used to collect fireflies as a child, and now, she reminds me of how my daughter currently does. She looks like us!
So many of these prints are really lovely and perfect for my daughter. She loves the outdoors and especially loves horses, so I love that particular theme in this fabric line. I also love how the prints used for negative space still had images in them, like the girls feeding the birds.
A last little touch that I think is sweet is the addition of this "P.S. I love you" tag. I have a miserable track record when it comes to labeling my quilts, but this was a super cute find at a local quilt shop, and I've enjoyed adding them to quilts lately.
And of course, a huge "shout out" to Anne who quilted this with her signature "meander". Thanks, friend!
Up next... my third "Posy" quilt. Can't wait to share that one. See you back here soon!
Those sweet prints are perfect for this pattern Lauren! I love the Chubby Star pattern! I made a quilt with this pattern back in 2009 from the original Material Obsessions book by Kathy Doughty! It is a very versatile pattern! Lovely to have you back for a visit to blogland!
ReplyDeleteIt's fantastic! I love that line!

ReplyDeleteI don't think there could be a more perfect way to use these delightful fabrics Lauren. Your quilt turned out wonderfully!

ReplyDeleteI want to help people figure out what they have and what helped me to completely eradicate the Herpes virus infection.
ReplyDeleteI had unprotected sex and a few days later felt sick thinking I was just hungover. After spending a day at the beach I felt like I had severe sun exhaustion. For the next three days, I had a bad fever off and on. I noticed what I thought was a canker sore inside my lower lip. I started to suspect I had herpes.
I searched online and called different clinics and two days later I was in the midst of a full blown outbreak! Sores all over my labia and anus and mouth. I became very, very depressed and was even thinking of suicide.
I started to try everything I could find online. None of these remedies had any visible results.
Finally, I found a naturopathic doctor, who honestly told me I should contact Dr. Utu for my condition and recommended the herpes herbal cleanser.
I ordered the Herpes Herbal Cleanser through a DHL Express courier and started treatment
Within two days I started seeing good results with only one sore left on my genitals and my mouth was all healed.
I completed the herbal treatment under Dr Utu guidance and he asked me to go do a blood test which I curiously did
I got the results of my blood test and can't believe that I tested negative for HSV2 and negative for HSV1
People still cure herpes infection with herbal medicine and even other more deadly diseases with lifestyle changes and herbal medicine
While there are bad doctors and bad physicians in clinics and online, there are also the good ones and Dr Utu is one of the best.
Dr Utu can only be reached at
