Pillows!

Here are some decorative pillows I've made recently. The yellow one is made from a section of my baby quilt that my Mom made for me when I was a baby. The appliqués are a little worn, understandably, so I had to repair/restitch some of them down again. good as new :)

Baby Toys

Here are some soft baby toys I've made recently. I designed the patterns myself and I added a jingle bell inside each toy to create a rattle (the plush stuffing muffles the harsh sound of the jingle bell into a more soft rattle sound).

This cute little cloud guy is "raining" little sensory tags and can be tied to a crib or stroller etc.

Here's another bunny rattle I made for a friend of mine who is expecting a little boy :)

And here's the whole gang :) you may recognize the jackalope from this post. I decided to give him nose and mouth.

Baby Quilt

It's finally finished! My very first quilt! (small baby-sized quilt that is). I'm pretty happy with how it turned out :) it has its imperfections here and there, but I'm okay with that. Gives it character, right?

and of course, my cat couldn't stay off of it...

I also really like the fact that many of the blocks have special meaning or memories:

1) a fabric that I've had since I was a child and had just started sewing (around 7 years old)

2) a piece of yellow flannel taken from MY baby quilt that my Mom made for me when I was a baby! many eons ago...

3 & 12) floral print fabric I got while on a trip to Mexico

4 & 6) quilt blocks made by my aunt for a different project that she didn't end up finishing so she gave them to me :)

5) a piece of flannel with little animals on it from MY baby blanket

7) a couple fabric scraps that my sister gave me that belonged to her boyfriend's grandma

8) a few different fabrics I got while thrift shopping with my sister

9 &11) pieces of a bunting that my Mom made for my wedding

10) a piece of fabric from a dress that I bought while garage sale-ing with my sister

and this piece was also taken from the baby quilt that my Mom made for me when I was a baby. I then added the embroidered "Love Mommy". <3
