Itty Bitty Quilt
It’s too hot to dye!
So I’ve been playing with my sewing machine, which happens to be parked right in front of the wall A/C unit. I was trying some new quilting techniques on this little doll quilt… I used a free online tute and the scraps were a little surprise from Giselle (thank you, Giselle!!!). So in the spirt of keeping things fun, it’s available free for shipping in my hyena cart shop… ends Wednesday!
The front is pieced from exclusive girasol scraps and the back is a fish print cotton batik. Inside is thin cotton batting. Perfect for putting dollies to bed… or a little lovey for a sweet little girl. It measures approximately 17 inches square.

Happy shopping and good luck to all!
Serengeti Sunset Silk Waves
Silk waves like you’ve never seen before!
This gorgeous gradation reminds me of a sunset over a beautiful African landscape. The colors are rich and vibrant. The silk makes them shimmer. The gorgeous deep orange fades into soft orange, then magenta and finally a deep red-violet.
Some action shots…
And some pics of the wrap…
On the orange side, there is some beautiful contrast between the silk and the cotton. The silk is a brilliant yellow, with the cotton being orange. There is no discernable contrast on the magenta side.
Some closeups of the weave and contrast…
This will be available for purchase Wednesday in the shop… Happy Shopping!
