bear in a bag

I love a sewing project that makes itself.  You know, the kind that simply comes together without much thought or planning and in the end is one you truly love ~ even more than the projects you labored over and tried so hard to make perfect. 

Hello bear in a bag!

Sleepy tiny bear in a giant sleeping bag... that is.

I've got a lot of random hexagon flowers hanging about my sewing room.  I make them while out and about, knowing that someday they'll come in handy.  This hexagon piece was sewn during the drive home from our recent trip to Las Vegas.  Then I happened to place it on some blue ticking when I got home and it screamed yes!  A tote bag!  But, this ticking is different from the kind I'm used to ~ it is super soft and has a nice drape.  So the tote idea went gonzo and I decided to make a doll quilt.  Then I thought, no ~  better, a sleeping bag.

And I found the perfect piece of binding but it was a few inches short.  I used it anyway...

And added a little button detail along the bottom...

I love it!  Oh, and one last thing... after I appliqued the hexagons onto the ticking I very carefully snipped out the backing because the stripes were so dark they showed right through the hexagons.  But normally I don't do that.  When you applique hexagons onto fabric, do you snip out the fabric from behind?

Happy Friday!

a side by side and a sneak peek

Can you see the difference?

The fabric on the left is Lecien's new 2012 Antique Flower in Pastel reprint, and the one on the right is the original from 2007.  This is probably the only print in the bunch where I prefer the old one better.  For all the rest I like the reprint better.  Like this one...

The little flowers are more defined and the slightest touch of white was added.  And in this one...

They removed the little tiny bits and overall the print looks cleaner and fresher.  But really...

I love all of it!  And it'll be at my friend Kerri's shop, Sew Deerly Loved, soon.

Btw, what do you think of the new legacy reprint of Denyse Schmidt's Flea Market Fancy?  I ordered a short stack of half yards last month and I love it, though I miss the silky hand to the original printing.

And now a sneak peek...

These are a few things that have been hanging about my work space the last few days...

A cute new set of mini notecards.

A little girl (it seems she's always hanging about).

... and a work in progress.  One I've been thoroughly enjoying making.  Oh and lastly, I wanted to show you some of the cuteness I got in the mail from my new friend, Sam...

Goodness, I love that Merry Bonbon stuff. 

See you Friday!  xo amy

Pastel petals

Hi!  We're back home again from our short trip to Las Vegas ~ and it's pouring rain outside.  The sky is dark and there's thunder and lightening ~ all pretty cool since we don't often get weather like this.  It's good to be home.  My belly is growing, the baby is kicking, my husband is at work, I'm back to my sewing machine, Anne is listening to her iPod and doing homework, Olivia and Nicholas are bickering and making a mess ~ everything is normal.  Love it  ;)

I'll have to admit I've been terribly unfocused and I'm swimming in a sea of half-finished projects, but I do have something to show you.  Lecien has reprinted their Antique Flower in Pastel line... which came out originally in 2007, and I loved it then.  But I think I might like the reprint even more ~ there is something about the way they've balanced the colors that I really like.  Oh, I don't know ~ they're both great and if I get a chance I'll try to take side by side photos.  But for example, back in 2008 I made this little apron:

In the past few days, I've been finishing this:

Antique Flower in Pastel petals fused and sewn onto white wool felt, then stitched onto a background of Lecien's Color Basic mocha dots.

A little peek at the back... It's linen with a teensy bit of Antique Flower, closed envelope style.

There is, however, a tiny part of me that wants to tinker with this a little more ~ maybe a bit more stitching, or a few more petals.  Does it look finished to you?  Lemme know what you think.  Though as soon as I hit the "publish this post" button, I'm out the door.  I've convinced my husband that I absolutely need to go to Johnny Rockets for an Oreo malt shake and french fries.  Sometimes being pregnant isn't all that horrible!

Happy Friday!!

:: an Old New pocket pillow

It's Spring Break (woo hoo!  party!  yeah.  right.)... and we'll be leaving for Las Vegas soon, to visit family.  But first we're enjoying a few days with my sister here in town.  I am the worst company, though.  To add to my list of complaints I'd like to introduce sciatica, which means sometimes I can barely move, but handsewing is never a problem.  Thank goodness.

Using Lecien's beautiful and brand new "Old New 30's" line, I stitched up a hexagon pocket pillow... with a handle!  (Click on the pic to see it better... I used all the prints from the line in those hexagons.)

And, I quilted the hexies by hand... these are 1 1/4" hexagons. 

To make the button loop, I braided three strands of embroidery floss and knotted it at both ends ~ hiding the knots inside the fabric patches.

And then I put a handle on it because it's a bigger pillow for Livi at 18" x 18".  I envision her stuffing a doll and a book in that pocket and dragging this thing all around the house ~ which is exactly what it's for.  It's kinda like an early present for our birthday girl.  In just a few days, Liv is turning 4! 

Oh, and I've got to show you this quilt I found on Pinterest...

Wouldn't it be just perfect in the Old New 30's line?  Love it.

things to be thankful for...

Does it look like Christmas?

Oh, it felt like Christmas when I opened this package.  And by the way, does it get any better than receiving a present... wrapped in fabric!?

Erin of Why Not Sew? sweetly sent me these gorgeous things ~ a beautiful patchwork basket and quilt made from the Patisserie line by Fig Tree Quilts. 

I'm absolutely in love.  Like over the moon, in love.  Erin's work is amazing in person ~ it's inspired me to try a little harder on the technical aspect of my work.  You can see a better pic of my pretty new quilt here.  Thank you, Erin!!!

Yesterday, there were a lot of things to be thankful for... Like getting the results from my 3-hour glucose test (that I started to black out after taking) and finding that I don't have diabetes after all.  And then there was the visit to the high-risk ob-gyn who verified that the blood vessel connecting my placenta (that's in two pieces) has moved away from the baby and is no longer a threat.  Stuff like that.  No big whoop.

On the stitchy side of things, I started some yo-yo's for a coverlet thingy.  I went out and bought a Clover yo-yo maker ~ has anybody have any experience making yo-yo's with the Clover and without it, and prefer without?

About 2 months ago, I found the pic (below) of the little girl sitting on a yo-yo coverlet, and became really excited about making one of my own.  I never even liked yo-yo's before, but now I'm diggin' 'em.  I'm just not sure about the Clover yo-yo maker... ya know, if it makes things easier or not.

Also, thank you to all of you that have purchased the Sleepy Time Pals embroidery pattern from my shop.  I do hope you'll share a pic with me if you make one.  And, I hope you're all having a good week, too.

simple and sweet

Hi there!  Yes, that is me ~ all puffy and pregnant.  We've made it to the last trimester and it'll be go-time before you know it, so it was time for a pic, I think.  Have I mentioned I think we're going to name her Gabriella?  Gabriella or Isabella or Sophia or Chloe or Maria ~ aah, I'm still undecided but my family has chosen Gabriella.  What do you think?

This week was a time for simple and sweet crafts as I had very little energy for anything else.  With Spring in the air and the farmer's market on my mind, I made a few more of the strawberry pincushions with Heather Bailey's pattern...

They're just so dang cute, I guess I couldn't stop.

But one cannot live on strawberries alone...

Did you know that Easter is, at last, just around the corner?  I'm way ahead of myself this year ~ the little one's Easter baskets are ready to go and last night I whipped up this little bag for Anne.  She's too old for toys, but not for gift cards.  And if you know me, you know I can't normally "whip" anything up, but this simple bag can be made in minutes.  I used my bunny template (get it here), a scrap of cotton print, linen, and a bit of crochet lace.  Voila!  Perfect for holding a gift card plus a few other little sundries.

Simple and sweet, right?

Lastly, I wanted to let you know I've made up an embroidery pattern of my Sleepy Time animal pals and it's in the shop.

The pattern includes a drawing of the animal pals and basic instructions on how to assemble your own doll quilt.  So if you liked the Sleepy Time doll quilts you can easily make your own!

Have a great weekend and happy stitching!

:: my very first cross stitch, yeah!

It rained here all weekend and now the sun has cleared through ~ I love it.  Los Angeles truly sparkles after she's had a good shower (as do I, but hey, some days are diamonds and others... not so much).  Today it is glorious and I'm happy as could be because I finally tried my hand at something I've been dying to do ~ yes, cross stitch!  I've been admiring other people's work these last few years but that paralyzing fear of trying something new has held me back.  Finally yesterday, I took out one of my fave books, Alicia Paulson's "Embroidery Companion: Classic Designs for Modern Living," and set to stitching.  I haven't yet exactly read the book, but I've studied those gorgeous pics a hundred times, and I don't care that my work isn't perfect and my x's are 3 different sizes... I did it!!!

And I know my sister won't care that it's not perfect either.  She recently bought a house in Connecticut so I made her this set of monogrammed pocket placemats as a housewarming gift.

I haven't seen the house yet, but I'm pretty sure my sister's style is slightly more sophisticated than ours over here at, you know, kid central.  So choosing the colors and fabrics was a challenge but I gotta admit, I love these placemats.  The blue fabric is by Lecien and it's called "Le Petit Jardin."  The linen monogrammed pockets are lined and hold silverware perfectly.  Can't you just picture these being rolled up and thrown in the summer picnic basket?

Okay, now I've got picnics on my mind.  Like a nice sunny one up in Napa Valley with my husband ~ no kids!  A blanket, a book, a bottle of wine... i'll just keep dreaming over here... ;)

little strawberry

Just got back from seeing "The Hunger Games" with Anne.  She had me read the book trilogy in the first trimester of this pregnancy, when I was utterly sick and nauseous.  It was such a pleasure to be pulled into another world at that time, to get my mind off things, and I loved the film for the same reasons.  Can't wait for the next movie to come out.  Did you read the books?

Well, I don't know about you, but things 'round here keep getting crazier and crazier.  Some of the "crazy" is exciting and some is just plain complicating, but I'm going to take long slow breaths and keep telling myself I can handle it.  My sole accomplishment this morning was making this strawberry pincushion.  I parked myself in a chair and pulled out Heather Bailey's pattern and two seconds later (haha, don't believe it!) I had a lovely little strawberry.  I can see making a whole bunch of these.  They're perfect for getting your creative groove on when you don't have much time or energy.

the perfect sleepy time doll quilt

... for Olivia, that is.  So what do you think?  Not quite as pink as you thought it would be?  There's a lot of strong color in there and I didn't intend for it to be like this, but once I started arranging those 2" squares I just couldn't help myself.  And I was right... making the top panel pink made all the difference in the world for Liv.  She loves it.

Love the vintage-y type look of the thing.  I used a combination of mostly Lecien fabrics and random prints from JoAnn's.  Then I drew the sleepy pals with a little more character this time.  Love the bunny especially...

and Livi loves the kitty.

But enough with sleepy time doll quilts already!  It's time to wake up!  Did you know it's offically Spring at last?

Just got these fabrics in from Japan.  The shop, Lilymeru, is on vacation right now but she'll be back this month.  And I'm off to blow my nose... yes, I'm sick again.  Love being pregnant and sick.  Okay, but really, I'm off to...

At least, that's what I strive to do :)

"not enough pink"

I can't believe those words were uttered from my youngest daughter's lips about something I made, but it's true.  I sold the three Sleepy Time doll quilts I made last week and this weekend I set out to make one special for her.  But Olivia has announced there's "not enough pink" in it... really?

I see pink.  Lots of it.  But she doesn't love it, so I'll be making another one and this one's going in the shop tonight at 5pm.

I think she simply wants the top panel to be pink and the creamy beige dots I used aren't working for her.  I'm off to the sewing corner to whip up something pink ;)

:: yellow and pink

It's a bit overcast today.  I wanted to show you some granny square blocks but I can't take a good pic to save my life, so here's a sneak peak.  For this baby quilt, the customer wants something vintage-y and soft and I think it's coming along pretty well.  I've noticed that everyone does their own variation on the pattern of colors in the granny square blocks.  I admit I like all of 'em but since this is going to be a more traditional quilt I went very tidy and regular with mine...

More to come later!  This weeks friday flickr faves...

Oh, and the sleepytime doll quilts are going in the shop tonight at say 6pm.  The medium already sold, so that leaves the "big" one and the small one.  (I'll be making a new one special for Liv ;)

It's set to rain all weekend here in L.A... think we'll have a cozy weekend.  Hope you have a good one, too!

three sleepy time doll quilts

The best way to start off a week is with a parcel of new fabrics... and I was particularly thrilled to get these Lecien prints from Sew Deerly Loved because they're so hard to find.  Not sure, but I think there's still more at the shop.  I also picked up some 3/4" hexagon papers and I can't wait to give 'em a try ~ they'll be the smallest and cutest hexagons I've made yet!

Well, I don't know how I got started on these sleepy time doll quilts... considering they weren't on the list, and I've had a very sick baby girl to take care of.  Happily, I have stacks of pre-cut squares, and for these mini quilts I used the 2" squares, 1.75" squares, and 1.5" squares, which made assembling the trio quite easy.

{ click on a pic to see it bigger }

The inspiration for these tiny doll quilts came, of course, from a Japanese craft book and the pic has been in my flickr faves for years.  I'm glad I finally got around to making these because they're so dang cute!  I made the middle one first and then the "big" one (it's maybe 11" x 15") and the small one (maybe 6" x 9") last.  Olivia will get to choose her favorite to keep and the other two will be going in the shop.  It's kinda ridiculous but I wish we could keep all of them and I could make more...  somehow I've found them to be a bit addicting to make.

But!  There are granny square blocks waiting to be joined by more granny squares, which I will be showing you soon...

:: Easter templates by nanaCompany

Whew!  I've been busy busy busy like a bee bee bee!  Well, I hope this works ~ I've made up a pdf of the Easter templates I drew.  Click here to download the file.  It should look like this...

And to show you one little example of what you can do with the templates, I made this scrappy garland last week...

I think it would look great with solid print appliques, too.  I hope you'll have fun making some Easter crafts using the templates...  Enjoy!

lazy friday

It is a bit deceiving to say that this is all I've done this week (what with all the running around for kid stuff and doctor's appointments and hospital visits), but it's all I've got to show you.  I'm in the midst of working on some granny square quilt blocks, etc., etc., but I'll have to show you later...

I'm off to the spa.  Mmmhmm.  Pregnancy massage, bath, manicure ~ and with a good friend of mine.  I should feel guilty but I don't.

a chick, an egg, a bunny, a carrot

Spring is in the air and there's so much to do ~ yet things are moving rather slowly around here.  (Picture me as an old grumpy turtle.  Ya got that image in your head?  Oh, it's sad but true!  And now picture all these little bunnies hopping over and around me.)   It took a few days to draw up the templates for my scrappy Easter garland.  I wanted to draw good ones because I hope to share them with you (once I figure out how)...  (Note: get the templates here.)

The egg was easy.  The chick wasn't.  (I sketched it skinny, big headed, no feet, open beak, you name it...)

And in the end, the carrot is my fave.

Using up tiny scraps for these projects is fun, and I've got a big bucket full of 'em.  For this garland, I arranged the scraps onto a piece of fusible featherweight interfacing (I'd traced the template shape onto the backside), roughly stitched the scraps in place, carefully cut out my shape, and then appliqued the silhouette onto the linen.  The linen pieces are 4 1/2" x 5 1/2" raw, and they are backed with a pale minty green Moda print. 

I thought about embroidering the names of each shape on the linen (ya know, like "egg", "chick", "bunny") but then I looked at the clock... at my kids... and at my other waiting projects and said, "Nah!"

Other doings in my sewing corner include pulling out a dress I'd made for Olivia when she was 1 1/2.  The dress needed a button replacement, a good pressing, and to be hung up on the wall (it will eventually hang in the new baby's corner of our house... and that's all she's getting is a corner... we're running out of room!)

And last but not least (yes, I'm still trying to keep your attention for just one more minute)... today is a special day.  I looked it up and today is this blog's first birthday!  Isn't that cute, she still seems like a baby to me.  But in all seriousness, it took a lot of guts for me to start this blog and you all have made it just an awesome experience... thank you so much for the nanaCompany love, and for your comments which make me feel like it's all worthwhile.

Happy Birthday my dear blog!  You deserve a cake and a party but it's time for my nap...

scrappy bunnies

So, I've been wanting to do a "ticker tape" piece lately because I've got such pretty tiny scraps and what can you make with fabric pieces smaller than half an inch... at Easter time?  Well, a scrappy bunny, duh!

Or how about two bunnies?

One of the bunnies is for a friend and one is for us.  I made these nearly a week ago and I still can't decide if they need some embroidery or other embellishment... but I took the liberty of dressing up the one we're keeping, and hung it on Livi's wall.

We'll need a little Easter in the living room as well, so I've drawn out the templates for a bunny, egg, and chick...  A mini garland is coming up next!

:: doll quilt re-do

Two years ago I made a doll quilt for Olivia while I was stalling on another project.  Well I'm stalling again ~ supposed to be working on a custom order baby quilt, unsure of exactly how I want to proceed, and waiting for new fabrics to arrive ~ so I did a little make-over of Olivia's doll quilt.  I mean I liked it just fine before (see here), but what really bugged me was the backing.  It was bad, real bad.  I have no idea what I was thinking.  And if you're going to hang it up on the wall, that's fine, but Livi uses it around the house to wrap Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Strawberry Shortcake ~ oh, that back was glaring and ugly and taunting me.  So, what does a busy mom with a million other things to do do: a re-do... a one day job of ripping and restitching and binding.

And then I got all experimental and did my "washi tape" thing in the corners just for fun.  Kind of weird but I was following a wild and carefree whim.  It was crazy, yo. ;)

The backing you see now is a traditional, complementary tiny floral print... non-offensive in every way and I no longer have to cringe. 

Ok, I'm off to the post office.  Bedrest for a mom of three is nearly impossible and I'm going to enjoy this last bit of freedom before they actually chain me to the bed, which I fear is not far off in the future.  See you tomorrow, k?  I have an Easter scrappy thing or two to share...

merry bonbon air mail

My last post was written in haste because I was rushing to get to the doctor's office, which led to a visit to the hospital ~ turns out baby and I are fine, but there is a new complication with this pregnancy and now I'm on modified bedrest.   Boooooo.  That means there are lots of things I can't do anymore, but I'm still allowed to make dinner every night so it can't be that bad, right?  ;)  And if I can make dinner, then I can sew. 

So you've seen how I've used this fabric to make "patches" on my sewn items.  I simply cut out a patch that I like, iron some Wonder Under on the back (or any other paper backed fusible web), iron into place and stitch to secure.

While I have no more of this print on the white background to sell, I just remembered I'd bought the same print in "linen"... so there are 4 "fat eighths" now in the shop.  Each piece is approximately 9" x 22" and includes at least one row of the Merry BonBon circle cancellation stamps.  Made by Lecien and impossible to find, make sure to pick it up fast if you want some, because I won't be selling any more.

NOTE: this fabric sold out within minutes and I no longer have any to sell, sorry.

Cheers!  xo amy

1, 2, 3...

The other day I was at babyGap admiring their bibs when I remembered ~ save your money, girl.  Make your own.   So, in my stash I found the perfect dusky flower print from French General (Pom Pom de Paris), sat down, drew a pattern and stitched it up.  Then I found a bag of Livi's baby things and pulled out an old knit dress and a swiss dot bubble onesie that are both stained down the front ~ perfect for cutting up and giving new life.  So I made two more bibs...

The two knit bibs are truly special because the dress I made them from was bought nearly 16 years ago from babyGap and both my daughters wore it.  First it was Anne's... (see her in it here in 1997).  And then Livi wore it in 2009... (see here).  Call me cheap or call me crafty, I was pleased as punch to give new life to this little dress that now all 3 of my daughters will get to share.  It was a little hard cutting into it at first ~ but once you get started it's nothing.  The ruffles on these bibs were made from the dress hem, and the back of the pink one is lined with Livi's old bubble onesie.  I'd bought two of those adorable rompers at the time, and one is still in perfect condition so I'll get to see the new baby (who still has no name!) wearing it, too.

I love the bibs.  And they just happen to look perfect with the little things I did buy from the Gap this week...

Happy Friday!
