Cranberry Gold

I have developed a new love for making pillows.  I am offering in my ETSY store a pillow set done in an elegant cranberry and rich gold.




For the smaller neck pillow I decided to use some dancing pinwheels and then because I was feeling the joys of spring and summer in the air I appliqued a dragon fly on one of the panels.

For the larger of the two pillows I chose to piece the pillow in a random geometric pattern.  Then to add a touch of the geeky whimsy I do adore. I appliqued on the front the phrase 'Dream Big Dreams" in Morse Code of course :)

Both pillows are pocket style so they can have their inserts taken out while the case is washed.  And since the smaller pillow is an off-standard size I will include a custom insert with the pillow if purchased.

So check out my ETSY store to get yourself a little something to welcome in the warm weather!

Morse Code Quilt for my nerdtastic guy

For the small percentage of you who didn't know my husband was nerdtastic, and by extension thus so am I, here is proof.  My valentines day present for him.  I crazy quilted the center panel in his favorite colors. and then appliquéd all the 'dots' and 'dashes' needed to give him a little message regarding my feelings for him.  And yes, I used hearts to mark the difference between words, cause well it  was for Valentines day and I was feeling all fuzzy inside.

I used variegated blue thread to appliquéd around the white,
this adds to the homey look I was going for.

 

The pictures don't really do it justice in my oh so humble opinion.  As in person the hanging has almost a vintage or well worn and loved feeling to it.  You know like him and I :)
