Whole Cloth Baby Quilt Contest

We love quilts.  We want to love making quilts.  So we're trying our hand at making different kinds of quilts.  This month is a simple one.  A whole cloth baby quilt.  2 pieces of fabric - one on each side with some batting stuck in the middle.  Make a sandwich and then quilt it.  How simple is that?  Anyone can do it.  Right?

Well, what we need for you to do is look at them and then vote on your favorite one.  We've used some of our favorite fabrics and we hope you can find at least one that you like.  You can always vote for both of them.  We won't be offended.  :)  You never know when they may show up at a craft show near you.


Liberty of London/Alexander Henry Countdown
We're not sure which side of this quilt is the top, because both sides are so cute.  One side features a soft pink floral Liberty of London.  Who doesn't love a beautiful Liberty fabric for your baby girl?  The reverse side is the colorful Countdown by Alexander Henry.  It is bound with a black & white floral print.

Dear Stella Petalpusher/Gingham
This cute baby quilt uses the beautiful Petalpusher Impressionist fabric by Dear Stella.  The reverse is an authentic lilac gingham fabric.  It is bound with Ta Dot in Gray.

Enjoy the quilts and vote for your favorite!!!!

Apron Challenge

All good cooks need a new apron every once in a while.  Who wants to get all flour-y when baking your favorite cupcakes in the kitchen?  No need to get your new t-shirt all chocolatey when making your favorite batch of brownies.

With that in mind, we decided to make ourselves a new apron this month.  After all, can you have too many aprons?

The full apron has a halter style neckline, and is made of a cute cherry print.  What retro cook wouldn't love wearing this apron while making their family's favorite meal?

The half apron has 2 pockets and is made with Lotta Jansdotter's Echo fabric.  It is trimmed in a pink mini gingham.  This apron is for the modern cook who wants to stand out in the crowd.

Please vote for your favorite apron!
