Branching Out!

As you may remember a few years ago I made a Very Hungry Caterpillar quilt for a friend of mine who was having a baby. Well, that started a frenzy and I ended up making over a dozen of them. The quilt is so cute and great for either gender but I got sick of making them.

Fast forward to much more recently. Using some scrapes of fabric I made myself a little square quilt to put in the car seat for my daughter when we traveled. I loved it so much that I made one for a friend of mine who had a baby right after me.  She also got a lot of use out of it and suggested that I list one for sale in my shop....so I made a small Very Hungry Caterpillar for the shop.

It's a two sided quilt and is currently for sale in my etsy shop.

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!
