Here is a little video tutorial showing you how I recovered my ottoman. It was in really good shape, just the fabric on the top was stained and gross from my kids and cat 
. Plus I wanted a bright fun color to spice up my white wall Army house.

Have a great day!
I had a baby shower at my house last weekend to celebrate my sweet friend and her baby girl. My friend and her husband are marine biologists and love the sea, so when I found out she was having a girl, I knew the exact fabric I wanted to use.
This fabric is from the collection Full Moon Lagoon. I used the panel in the center and used 3 types of fabric for outside borders to keep it simple. The colors in the collection are so nice.
The reference to coral, jellyfish and other marine life was perfect for her.
Have I said how much I loved the colors in this quilt??
Here is the back. I did organic, ocean-esque quilted lines and used some extra fabric for panels on the back.
So that’s it! The latest quilt finish! Have a wonderful Monday
Hey Everyone! I have a super fun new YouTube video up showing a really fun and inexpensive craft. Tassels! You can make these with tissue paper, but I decided to make them with plastic tablecloth (.97 ea at Walmart) instead so that they are more durable.
They are very light and flowy and would be great for outdoor decor as well as indoor.
I used cute washi tape to bind the tassels which creates some additional whimsy and color.
Great for so many types of party decor!

I put up a new video last week on my YouTube Channel. I got the chance to try out some luxury shag faux fur from Shannon Fabrics and it was so fun!! Hope you enjoy the video!

Hey Everyone!
It’s done! It’s finally done! I am so thrilled to say that the bed quilt I have been working on for over a year is complete and we have been sleeping under it for a week now. Making a quilt this large was quite the challenge… mostly because each step took so much longer to complete than a smaller quilt and the task each time seemed so daunting. It took me a week to quilt it and several days just to bind, so it feels like quite the accomplishment!
Here’s the Stats…
Measures 100 wide x 90 long
Fabric: Kona Snow and Annette Tatum Boho
Warm n White Batting
Quilted by me on my Vintage Singer 201-2 with Aurifil white 50 wt
Houndstooth Pattern is from Tula Pink’s Book
Now for some photos!
I have some more fabric from this line to make some pillow cases and I plan to buy a white bedskirt. It will be fun to do a little mini-makeover in our bedroom now that this quilt is done!
Hey Everyone! I have new video up, it shows you step by step how to sew a custom crib sheet! Hope you enjoy!
