I have been sewing on and off for the better part of my life. Last year my daughter started her own online sewing business. +Wood N Grommet She has had great success with it. After asking her about it, she created Moo Mama Boutique for me. So off to the online world I go.
I have made quite a few things for kids. I have toddler hats, bibs, burp rags, burp pads, crayon roll ups, wet bags, and other things. I try to make things I wish I had for my two kids when they were smaller. Chantae has been a big help with suggestions to what to make and try to sell. Sarah's kids along with Chantae's boys are great testers for me!
I have always had the quilting bug, but never really tired it because I thought I couldn't do it. Surely I am not that creative to accomplish these beautiful quilts I see. Oh yes I am! I have actually put together and finished two quilts. One was given to my only granddaughter, Skyla. Once I made the top, I knew it was "her". From all accounts she loves it.
I have one that I am quilting together now. It is an Irish Chain pattern. I used bright green and purple with a strip of chocolate brown. My Mom calls it the decorated cake, so that is what I will name it once it is done.
There are two tops and two matching backs ready to quilt together. I have another quilt top for our bed ready but the back is proving to be more of a challenge than I had expected.
I have two quilts in the piecing process. One is through a quilt-a-long with Melissa at Happy Quilting. The other is from a magazine pattern.
So I am trying to keep myself busy with sewing and then I decide to start a blog. I will try to share pictures of stuff and I make it. My husband is great with his support of my sewing and ideas. He is a wonderful sounding board. He has helped me out many times when I have been stuck. Thank you Hermis.
Thanks and have a wonderfully awesome day! Smile and make someone's day.
