Alisha and Aaron's Wedding Quilt

So, I've been a little dry on the project postings lately and this is why...

I've been working on this beauty :).

I started on Alisha's wedding quilt around the first of March.

I was so concerned about keeping this project a secret from my BFF, that I guess I didn't take any pictures of the construction (other than these two).

 Zoey wants to lay on it, can you blame her?

When I seen this fabric, I screamed Alisha to me.
Aqua, Brown and Orange
Backing is white linen
Binding is aqua
Hand-quilted (with love!)

This post has been in "draft" because she follows my blog (prob the only person LOL!) so I couldn't share till she had it in her hot little hand.

Wish I would have taken another pic after the sun had set, but here it is the magic hanging sideways quilt (can't get the pic to rotate :(!)
You would never know by looking at these pictures that it's ~124* outside!

The label is my favorite part of this quilt! It says "Something Blue ~ made for my best friend on her wedding day. june 25, 2011  <3 robin"

And there it is... ready to be shipped off to a buffalo ranch in Montana. Miss you Leesh!

Ashley's Quilt {Pink, Black & White}

Several (~5) years ago I re-did Ashley's room before she came to visit for the summer.

{Pink, Black & White}

We were in Utah visiting, I took it to her :0).

She was happy!

I gotta go through old pics and find some of it on her bed.

Ashley and Carson

Me, Ashley and Carson

 Love you Sis <3!

Happy Birthday Heidi!

My sister Heidi just had a birthday...

I made her this!...

Is it not the happiest little pin cushion you ever did met?

 I used this footstool pin cushion pattern, by sewtakeahike

 She LOVED it! {What's not to love?}

Happy Birthday Sister, love you!

Carson's Baptism Day

March 19, 2011

{Carson's Baptism Day}

My Mormon Boy

 Brother Kory Burgess and Carson

(Grandee made Carson this towel. She embroidered "CTR" and "Carson" on a white towel, Grandee has also made one for Carson's little friend Arie Beck when she was baptised in December)

 Carson was getting a little silly and sick of having his picture taken by this point...

 Brother Burgess is a very good man. He is a member of our Bishopric. 

 The Family :)

 Refreshments, cream puffs, mini eclaires and sugar cookies. Mmm...

 Carson's very own scriptures

 opening his package from Aunt Heidi and Uncle Kendall (thank you!)

Carson and I read 1st Nephi from his new scriptures at bedtime. When I tucked him into bed, I asked him how he felt. he said "HAPPY!"  Carson is absolutely beaming....

Carson, may you always remember how you feel today!

Today was an AMAZING day... Thank you Heavenly Father!

a doll quilt for Gabrielle...

my sweet {great}niece Gabrielle was getting tubes in her ears. i mailed this little suprise to her :)

chanel on the back~so soft!

nice model huh?

feel better soon my sweet Gabby <3!

Auntie loves you!

Flat Iron Travel Pouch

Hi gals. I want to share this with you...

the tutorial is from Char @ www.crapivemade.com/

very easy to make (the most time consuming part of the project is the binding)

I made one of these for Alisha (for her Bridal Shower, no pic I guess) and one for myself (of course, duh!)
