Oliver + S : Fairy Tale Dress #2

January 27, 2014

I hate growing up. And I dislike it even more when its my child doing the growing. I just don’t understand how time could go any faster. In just over a month, I’m going to have a four year old, and only two months after that, her little brother will be here! Don’t you ever...

Oliver + S : Roller Skate Dress in Voile

January 8, 2014

I haven’t made little girl clothes in much too long. Layla is in need of some new dresses because she has gotten so tall over the past several months. I am working on that, but I felt the urge to go little. 12-18 months little. So I made the Roller Skate Dress for a special young...

I love the pattern & would eventually make the whole quilt, but I’d probably start out with a table topper. Thanks for the chance to win.ReplyCancel
MarianaSeptember 11, 2013 - 6:10 am
I’d love to make a tote for me!ReplyCancel

SUCH a beautiful quilt!! I would LOVE to try my hand at making a quilt as well.. I won’t look as beautiful as yours but I would love to try!ReplyCancel
DeborahGunSeptember 11, 2013 - 8:17 am
I would definitely make the quilt – just love this pattern.ReplyCancel
TeresaSeptember 11, 2013 - 8:54 am
Oooh…I have a messenger bag pattern that would look great with this feather quilt.ReplyCancel
CarlaSeptember 11, 2013 - 8:55 am
Oooooh I would love to make the quilt! It’s fabulous. Thank youReplyCancel
Steph BlairSeptember 11, 2013 - 9:12 am
I’d start with a bag – just won a couple of yards of legacy from Angela Waters, and It’s look fab!ReplyCancel
Jennifer PerkinsSeptember 11, 2013 - 9:27 am
I’ve never paper pieced, but I wouldn’t mind starting with that pattern! Cute pot holders! Love all her fabrics!ReplyCancel
Kim JohnsonSeptember 11, 2013 - 10:13 am
I think I would use the pattern on a pillow or purse and then a quilt. It’s beautiful!ReplyCancel
JudySeptember 11, 2013 - 10:16 am
I love the pot holders you made and since I need practice with piecing and quilting, I’d start with these. Thanks for the give away!ReplyCancel
lynnSeptember 11, 2013 - 10:18 am
i’d try a pillow first, but the full quilt pattern is so lovely! the potholders rock!!ReplyCancel
wendySeptember 11, 2013 - 10:22 am
I think I’d want to make the quilt, but not sure if that would be too much paper piecing, so perhaps a cushion or twoReplyCancel
Jacklynn GrimmSeptember 11, 2013 - 10:27 am
I think I would take one of the rows and make a table runner. Thanks for the give away!ReplyCancel
KathleenSeptember 11, 2013 - 10:36 am
Love your potholders! I tried the triple layer deal like you once and found it difficult to quilt. I think one insulbrite and one warm and natural is sufficient. Would love to be a winner :)ReplyCancel
MoeWestSeptember 11, 2013 - 10:51 am
I think I would start off small like you did and make potholders and a matching linen tea towel with feathers down the middle. I really like the quilt too!ReplyCancel
Marci GirlSeptember 11, 2013 - 11:01 am
I would make a handbag for sure. Your potholders turned out so cute, but I know what you mean about quilting when it is so darn thick, impossible to keep those straight lines perfect!ReplyCancel
Kim MSeptember 11, 2013 - 11:03 am
I’m just getting into quilting so I would use the pattern for a quilt! I’d love to learn paper-piecing!ReplyCancel
WensSeptember 11, 2013 - 11:08 am
Ooh I’d make a GIANT quilt for myself! I love this pattern, and I love the fabrics you used! Awesome :)ReplyCancel
Shawn JSeptember 11, 2013 - 12:05 pm
I think it would look great as a tote or wall hanging.

AlexandraSeptember 11, 2013 - 12:40 pm
I have been looking for a quilt to make for my bed for about six months now, but none have grabbed me quite like this one! I would make a queen size quilt with one OVERSIZED arrow on the back and a few throw pillows like the ones pictures on Alison Glass’s site. Thank you for the chance to win! Your blog and others like it make my desk job a lot more fun during lunch breaks! :)ReplyCancel
Michelle kSeptember 11, 2013 - 12:40 pm
I love this pattern! Thank you for the chance to win it. I don’t think I would make the whole quilt, but never say never. I would definitely be using it in smaller proportions for pillows, purses and maybe clothing embellishment.ReplyCancel
Ali MSeptember 11, 2013 - 12:52 pm
Wow er, I just realized I’m dating somebody who does archery, and for some reason I didnt even think I could somehow translate the fabric into something for him with the pattern (feeling silly) I’m making him a pillow with Moda’s Lush Uptown Deer in the woods paint by number fabric, and I think there will have to be a quill on the back!ReplyCancel
Elizabeth JSeptember 11, 2013 - 1:07 pm
The quilt would be fabulous, but I’m thinking that my living room couch pillows need an update!ReplyCancel
DariaSeptember 11, 2013 - 1:09 pm
What a quickie way to love the pattern and try it, too!
Think I might try it out in a Mug Rug. ReplyCancel

really lovely pattern, i’d make a wall hanging, it’s a great pattern for showing off your favorite colorsReplyCancel

Cute pot holders! I am shy about using blue, but you pulled it off very well! I would love to make the quilt.ReplyCancel
MargaretSeptember 11, 2013 - 3:25 pm
I’d love to make the quilt, but I can see myself using the pattern to make a tote bag and zipper pouches.ReplyCancel
Melissa HSeptember 11, 2013 - 3:56 pm
I’m not a quilter, but this quilt actually inspires me to make one. I love the retro meets modern feel of the pattern, which I can picture in tons of cute quilting prints I’ve seen lately! (Love your lace dress post, too, btw)ReplyCancel

I would first make a zip pouch like the one on the blog tour, the pattern really goes with hand stitching.ReplyCancel
Jessica YoungSeptember 11, 2013 - 7:21 pm
OMG I love this pattern! I would first make a tote bag as a girl for my my sisters upcoming birthday! I’m sure I would make a quilt once I get some of my other ongoing projects finished.
Thank you for the chance to win!!

Embroidered Linen Picnic Quilt

August 26, 2013

A few weeks ago, Layla asked me if I would make a quilt so we could go on picnics. That seemed like a perfectly reasonable excuse to stock up on Anna Maria’s Field Study linen, which I did, because, hey, why not? After seeing KelbySews quilt, I was inspired to go with a simple patchwork...

You have been busy! Looks great.ReplyCancel
MariannAugust 26, 2013 - 8:00 am
I always alternate pressing my seams when sewing my rows together. Makes it so easy to machine quilt.
You are one brave lady to hand quilt a picnic throw!
As always, your quilt is amazingly beautiful! The photos of Laya are the cherry on the sundae! Luv ya!ReplyCancel

  Love Layla’s photos. (brain thinks faster than I type!)ReplyCancel

An absolute fabulous quilt! So pretty and with embroidery to boot!ReplyCancel
CherylAugust 26, 2013 - 10:56 am
Your quilt is beautiful! When you hand quilt, do you start in the center? Or any special format? I really like the pattern.ReplyCancel
Christen @ Love By HandAugust 26, 2013 - 12:55 pm
Hi! Absolutely love this quilt! I too am planning a picnic quilt, and I was wondering, with the weight of the linen, if you used batting in the quilt? I’ve seen a few with and without batting. Thanks!ReplyCancel
- MeredithAugust 26, 2013 - 9:33 pm
  Hi there! I did use batting. Its a heavier weight, and I think its perfect for picnicking. Also, the weight helped it to stay down on a windy day, which was great!ReplyCancel
trilliumAugust 28, 2013 - 10:43 am
Such a pretty quilt! I will have to try pressing seams like that on my next quilt. I’ve always opened them flat.

Thanks for the tip about the pearl cotton. I love to embroider and the embroidery you have completed looks great. Those bright colors match with the linen.ReplyCancel
AdrianneAugust 29, 2013 - 6:14 pm
This is such an utterly gorgeous quilt! I absolutely adore the backing – the print is wonderful. I hope I can get my hands on some soon!ReplyCancel
Lisa StahlSeptember 9, 2013 - 11:02 pm
This quilt is beautiful! We always us this old moth-eaten blanket to lay in the grass on and play with the dogs. I think I’ll be making something new for this purpose!!

PS. Layla is just adorable!! I miss that age.ReplyCancel

The BIG Reveal : A Hand Drawn Garden Room

August 20, 2013

The past few weeks have been spent redoing Layla’s room with a little paint and a whole lot of Anna Maria’s new line, Hand Drawn Garden (the re-release of some prints from her Garden Party and Drawing Room collections). Since I had only done very small things here or there ever, it was more like...

Oh what a beautiful room! I LOVE the wall colors and that bed skirt is amazing!ReplyCancel
nicole_boldgoodsAugust 20, 2013 - 7:52 am
I love it! The sheets are my favorite part! I tend to go white-white-white for everything, but this jewel-tone room really speaks to the joy and wonder of a little girl her age. And I love how the prints are sophisticated enough to grow with her.ReplyCancel

Can I come and live it that room! Oh wow! That being said I would love to try out making a skirt for me, a bit like yours (could I go short too??)–As a mum of four, whose littlest is not quite 6 months, I get little time to sew and when I do it is usually for them or for one of my quilting bees. Would be lovely o make something achievable for me!! Thank you!ReplyCancel
Jo-Anne FlinkAugust 21, 2013 - 8:11 pm
Looks grrreat! I can’t wait to see it. You are done a terrific job. Bright, cheerful and very southern without being foofy or chintzy. I am sure Layla loves it and I can tell Olivia does.ReplyCancel
Alison GlassSeptember 10, 2013 - 1:54 pm
