A Quilt for Cailin


May all your days be Sunny and all your skies be Blue.
Love, Shawn xo
2009


This is a sad story , little 3 year old Cailin's Mom a young 24 years died from cancer last Friday. I made this quilt for her.


I used fabric from the Cottage Romance Collection. I already had all the blocks completed and quilted, I just had to put them together. This fabric has always reminded me of a little girl.


This is the back ~ very random as is the front.
The quilt measures 48"x64".

I machine quilted this quilt in 42 pieces.
Riley likes the look of it....


Yummy quilt!

May I please, please lay on it???


No you may not!

I hope this quilt helps to comfort you Cailin.


Finished two more Bunny Hill BOMs

Happy July Memories!

My Sewing Room


No that's not my Sewing Room, but I've been riding that big orange mower so much this summer, (oops I mean enjoying myself) I haven't had as much time for blogging. And the fact that I am an extremely slow blogger/typer/picture taker, there just doesn't seem to be enough time in the day to get everything done. After seeing Amanda's post this morning, I finished up my mowing before the rain so I can show my sewing room.

It's not too neat, but it's hidden up here in the loft over the living room * *maybe these will be the before pictures* * Honestly a little messy up here doesn't bother me and I love my space!


I can't believe I climb up this ladder, but it's not a problem...
That's a big cushion on my chair.. hummmmmmmm


Nine patch in progress hanging on the rail.


My cutting table ( for cutting small pieces), this picture is kind of funny, the cutting space seems to be getting smaller and smaller.


I have 10 of these shelves to hold folded cottons and wools.


Another in progress from Karen, and I do have 2 more blocks completed that aren't pinned up yet, so I'm actually caught up on this one. ; )


I do have a TV up here and more storage, some dolls my Mom made sitting on the bureau.



I do have a beautiful view up here too!
I have 2 sewing stations, one for my Bernina and one for my Featherweight.


I love my featherweights, these are just the best sewing machines ever, I wouldn't trade them for anything!!
Oh shoot my featherweight picture accidently got deleted ; (
