4th of July Tote Bag

Hey! I'm back from a trip to Texas with my boys. We had such fun with all the kids - swimming, barbecuing and painting their ugly brick wall in the living room.

Before I went, I designed and made this canvas tote to replace my last one. I used corduroy for the handles and bottom as well as ticking fabric for the pocket and a sturdy canvas interior. Hoping this holds up for many more adventures.

Thanks for reading!

Shark!

Hey! One of my favorite projects this summer was this shark my son made. We followed McCalls pattern M7103 and the shark turned out to be a lot bigger than we expected! It was a challenging project for a five year old but very rewarding. We have named him Sharky. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Quilted Cushion Cover

It's the last day of playgroup tomorrow and I made this cushion cover for my boys' beloved teacher. We will miss her a lot. It was a fun project and I have more of them in the works ..

Quilt for Luke

There is so much joy when a new baby is born in your family. And this boy is the first for my brother and his wife. Welcome Luke! I made him this simple quilt in blues and yellows.

Pattern: Squared Quilt by Suzy Quilts.

Quilt for Theodore

It's been snowing here in Boston so I thought it was time to do a photoshoot. This quilt for Theo has been finished for a while. The blue and red fabrics are from M&L and I paired them with a thick beige sashing and red binding. My son chose the back fabric which he was really excited about. I made it twin size so hopefully he can take it to college one day. xx
