Recent Work

I have been working in my studio, making all kinds of cute things these days.

The quilt was a baby shower gift for my best friend, Leah. We’ve been friends since kindergarten! Each “saw tooth star” was made with fabric specifically chosen for her. The back was a panel I found at IKEA, years ago. It’s so cute! Her baby girl is due in August!

I made A LOT of fabric butterflies! Fabric pieces were sewn together, folded and glued into this really sweet, origami, butterfly shape. The pink batch was made to add to the potted plant centerpieces at Leah’s baby shower. The purple and gold batch was made for end-of-the-year teacher gifts at my kid’s school. You can see how they look in a plant. I attached each butterfly to green floral wire and stuck them into the dirt. They looked like they were flying around the flowers. I also added a flat pin on the back of the butterfly so they could be used for another purpose.

This is the tutorial I used for the butterflies . I used hot glue for the final step instead of hand sewing because it was a little quicker for me.

Have a peaceful day.

  1. Wow, those are all works of love! The fact that you and Leah have been friends since kindergarten is wonderful…with pictures to prove it! Amy and I have been friends since 1st grade. You sort of forget how rare and special that is sometimes.
