Memories - a Custom Quilt

Suzanne and I are now doing Quilting Wishes together! A client requested a quilt made up of her daughter's outgrown clothing - a memory quilt.

Lots of cute little teeshirts, dresses, pants and hats became this sweet baby sized quilt, which will hang on the end of the little lady's new big bed. (Dimensions: approximately 38" x 44")

The sashing, borders and backing are all Connecting Threads fabrics - great prices, quality and customer service! The backing is Trendy Ogee in Dark Strawberry, from their Hampton Hues collection, and the peachy pink border is Quilter's Candy Prints, Swirls in Tea Rose.

It's quilted with a walking foot, double straight lines forming a grid and the binding is machine stitched. This was sure a fun thing to work on!

Cash Envelope System

A friend asked if I do do a set of fabric cash envelopes for budgeting - never tried anything like it before but I love how they turned out!

Flat, low-profile clutch to contain the envelopes.

This make my matchy-matchy heart all happy.  Pretty zippers.

Clutch with all the little cash envelopes.

Each envelope has a little clear vinyl label pocket which will hopefully be handy for cash spending categories.
