Coming up next....

This beautiful bundle was all pulled from my stash except for the Bella solid in Flamingo.  A few more vintage sheets might join the mix, because I really love mixing them with the modern prints.  This stage of choosing and combining fabrics is my favorite in the entire quilting process.  The design for this quilt is all in my head, now I just need to sketch it out and do the math - definitely not my favorite part!

A quick switch of mediums

I'm changing gears this weekend from fabric to frosting.

I took a brief hiatus from making cakes towards the end of my pregnancy, but I'm starting back up with orders for two baby showers this weekend.

Three layers of vanilla cake with whipped cookies and cream filling and giant swiss meringue buttercream roses.

As a side note, Phoebe once told a friend of mine who was preparing her lunch that, "I only eat cake and cookies and candy and ice cream".  

It's hard not to in this house.

A little less talk

I have determined that if I would like to continue blogging, I'm going to have to start using more pictures and less words.  Because there's no other way I can fit it into my schedule (or lack there of).  This past week I've been dealing with a sick baby who refuses to sleep or be put down, a toddler who demands constant attention, and a husband who won't have a day off work for two weeks.  That has left very little time for creating - let alone blogging about it! 

But I love this little space, and want to keep it going.  So hopefully some pictures here and there will suffice - at least until Phoebe goes off to preschool in the fall :)

So anyways - Commissioned baby quilt.  Girl.

Ten inch blocks with 1/2 inch sashing in Kona medium gray.  Backed in an Alexander Henry print (I think it's called Petals).

Quilted with straight lines in gray thread.  Final size is about 42" square.

Lots more quilts on the horizon - stay tuned!
