Down a sunny dirt road, deep in bear country...

Live the Berenstain Bears! When I was growing up I LOVED the Berenstain Bears! I can still remember my Dad reading them to us as kids. In fact when I started teaching one of the very first things that I did was go buy a bunch of these books. When I was reading them to my kindergarten class a very smart little girl patiently waited all week as I was reading the stories and then she finally asked me , " but where is hunny bear?". I had no idea the bear family had grown since I was a child! Now there are 5 bearskins a dog and a cat! Needless to say I had to update my collection.

I found out my best friend was pregnant shortly after I had my first baby and was thrilled she was going to be having a baby boy. So natuarally I made her a quilt out of this fabric. But I had enough left over to make a second quilt, this one for a baby girl!

So down a sunny dirt road deep in the world of Etsy is my newest quilt!

Going once, Going twice ..... Sold!

I had my first sale on etsy just 48 hours after opening my shop! I was thrilled I sold a Strawberry Shortcake baby quilt. This quilt was made with fabric that shows the old, original, vintage Strawberry Shortcake not the new somewhat sexy version!

I had the opportunity to visit a wonderful "cottage " this summer ( it was more like a mansion on a lake ) and in town there were two wonderful quilting stores. I found a lot of great finds including this panel. I bought 2 so there will be a second one listed shortly!

I love these 80's retro cartoon prints.....now to fine Rainbow Brite fabric!

Shop, shop, shop

So being off on maternity leave this year has allowed me a little bit more time for quilting! In between feeding and sleeping and playing, of course. Recently I have been eyeing up some new sewing machines in order to further expand my hobby....however my hubby, is not so sure of the cost involved in this! So he suggested to either put our daughter in baby modelling (which I will not do) or sell some of my quilts.  Now seeing as I have a large number of quilts, that I keep around because I like them and wonder if I will one day use them, I decided to go with the later option.

I have had an Etsy account forever, to fuel my fabric buying habit! But recently opened up a store. I listed 2 items and sold one within the first 24 hours! So I listed two more...at this rate maybe I will be able to buy a new sewing machine! Here is a link to my store Fabricated Quilts!

So come on over and check out some of my quilts that are now for sale!
