My NON Quilt projects

I've been a busy girl lately!!!
Not just with QUILTS, but with lots of other goody goodies too!. .
The following photos are projects I have finished that are not in the QUILT category ;c)

A memorial pillow made of a shirt, and an embroidered label.  
Big shout-out to my AWESOME neighbor Sandy for doing the embroidery block for me!  I don't have an embroidery machine . . yet ;c)   

In a last-minute Mommy Panic, I realized I didn't have a SINGLE valentines day outfit for my daughter!  
So I took this outfit that was too big for her last summer, and altered it.    
I made a patch with a big "M" for Mira, and FMQ'd or free-hand embroidered it with funky thread.
I lightly basted the heart patch over the OLD logo so that I could remove it later if I wanted to.
But I'm not sure if that will ever happen ;c) 

Here's my sweet girl modeling her outfit.  


Okay, ALSO. .  I am TOTALLY OBSESSED with this :  
It's a Free dress pattern from "The Cottage Mama"
It's free simply by joining her mailing list or FACEBOOK group!
It's so versatile and very easy and user friendly!
I have made SIX dresses total in the very short time since I have found this pattern ;c)

Below is the very first dress I made using this pattern.  I just pulled scraps from my stash for "practice."   Look how ADORABLE???  I of course, was hooked! 


 And here is the "practice" dress featuring my model ;c) 

After so much success with the practice piece, I decided to make another one.   
I went to Joanns  to find fabric with the intention of trying to recreate THIS dress.
They had a new line of fabrics called "in the navy". . .
Doesn't she look so beautiful in that pale blue fabric??    It matches her eyes perfectly!
And do you see her looking at herself in the mirror??  Boyyyy she thinks she looks CUTE! hahaha


You would think after 2 dresses in a row I would have had enough. . . but nOOOOOOOOO  LOl
My friend just had a new baby girl, and she also has a 2 year old!
Usually I make new babies a quilt, but how cute would matching dresses be??

Front? 
 Back? 

 And since these were in different sizes, quite a bit larger and quite a bit smaller, I decided to once again make a "practice" run.    So I found these fabrics in my stash - This pink floral with black accents.   This was my practice run and the above fabrics I picked out specifically for the dresses.   I like them both, but couldnt' decide which one to give the new momma.   So I let her choose.  Guess which one she chose??  hahaha.    I guess I need to do MORE "practice" stuff hahah






Ps, I can make one of these dresses for You in size 6month to size 10 
Total =  $50 which includes materials.

New Baby Clothes Quilt!



 This might be my favorite baby clothes quilt yet!   Just look at all of the details and fun stuff that is included.  There are 3D elements such as butterflies with moveable wings.  There are several bibs that seem to jump off the quilt, and even a santa hat.  The Disney costumes/dresses/tutus were cut using the skirts left full. So that the skirt area could flow freely or be moved by your hand.
I added a soft little bootie, kept all of the buttons and original areas that I possibly could, There's even a HAIRBOW.  And to top it all off, I embroidered the name in the center with a pretty curly font!
