Giggles Quilt - Custom Machine Quilting by Natalia Bonner

MaryAnn made this darling Giggles quilt. She sent it to me and asked me to custom machine quilt it for her. The quilt is for a baby girl so MaryAnn asked me to machine quilt it girly, with flowers and keep it soft looking.

Fat Quarter Baby - Introducing Katherine!

I love making baby quilts, they are fast, and always give me that sense of instant gratification that sometimes I just crave.

My friends over at It's Sew Emma & Fat Quarter Shop have just released an adorable new book, Fat Quarter Baby. Each quilt in the book is a baby quilt made from just fat quarters, how cute is that!

Shabby Chic Meets Geometric Quilting - Custom Machine Quilting

This morning I finished up the custom machine quilting on this adorable baby girl quilt.

Lianne made this adorable quilt, when she sent it to me she asked me to custom machine quilt it for her, and she wanted a shabby chic with a little geometric look. 

How to: Terry Velour Baby Burp Cloths

Happy Monday morning friends! It's been a while since we've had a how-to, so how about a super duper simple, but fun baby burp cloth tutorial.

No-Bind Receiving Blanket

Last week Kathleen made another darling baby gift, a no-bind receiving blanket. This time she used some minky on one side and some cotton on the other with a little fringe along the edge. I love the fun detail that the fringe gave the quilt.

We love doing embroidery so Kathleen added a Funky Daisy Applique and the babies name. 

You can download the Funky Daisy Applique here.

Free No-Bind Receiving Blanket tutorial is available here.

Baby Buggy Burp Cloths

My cousin just had babies, twin boy and girl!

I can't even imagine!

We made her some adorable little cloth diaper burp cloths.

You can find our free burp cloth tutorial here.

Buggies are appliqued using our Baby Buggy Appliques.

Baby Zig-Zag Quilt

Kathy pieced this darling baby zigzag quilt for a friends new baby. It's a fun twist on all of the chevron quilts that we've been seeing. It's refreshing. :)

She asked me to custom machine quilt it for her, whatever I thought would look good. So I machine quilted zigzags in the solids and swirls in the prints, I love how it really did help the pattern to pop!

Thanks for letting me machine quilt your quilt Kathy!

Giggles

Maryann had a new baby granddaughter arrive a couple weeks ago. So, of course she needed to make her a quilt.

Maryann made this darling Giggles quilt.

I custom machine quilted it for her, it was a really fun quilt to play with.

Thanks again for letting me quilt for you Maryann!

Baby Girl Burp Cloths

Another one of our friends recently had a baby girl.

So, of course we wanted to make her a fun gift.

Kathleen spent a few hours last week and made these darling cloth diaper burp cloths. I LOVE how fresh and happy these turned out!

Here is a free tutorial showing how we make cloth diaper burp cloths.

Baby Girl Quilt

Kendra made this darling quilt for her new baby girl, it's actually a pretty big baby quilt, but I think it's great, I like them bigger because then you can use them longer.

I also love the simplicity of this quilt, so simple yet so effective!

She brought it to me for machine quilting, I machine quilted an all over swirly pattern, I just love how it turned out.

Congratulations on your baby girl Kendra!
