May Bee Island Batik Pillow

Here I am just making it under the 

wire for the Playful Pillows 

challenge for May.

But I did it in just the nick of 

time and I am so excited to 

show it off to you. 

It is made with a variety of different 

Island Batik fabrics.  

I used several different colors from the 

Paisley Dot collection.

The pattern is from my 

May Bee Banner.

I added a Flying Geese

around the edge to make it 18 1/2" square. 

I used Aurifil Black thread to 

applique stitch around the flowers 

and the bee.

It was the first time that I had

not matched the thread to the applique, 

and I really liked the look of it.

Join me next month for the 

Challenge. 

It should be a lot of fun!

I just love a good challenge.

Put a Little Love in Your Heart Hop

Welcome to 

Sew Incredibly Crazy

where it is my day to 

show off my Love project.
Thanks to Carol of Just Let Me Quilt
for hosting this fun hop. 

I first started off just 

thinking that I should 

do a mug rug, 

but that just wouldn't do.

It was cute and all, 

but it just wasn't quite what I was 

thinking.
If you wish you can find the
free pattern HERE. 

Then, I decided to make some

a little different.

It is the fabric line

Woof Woof Meow by Stacy Iest Hsu for Moda.

You can find the fabrics HERE.

They have that pop art feel to them.

My daughter already has claimed the 

puppy and the kitty will be for my 

niece's birthday.

You can find the pattern 

on my Craftsy Pattern page, HERE.

It will be half off through 

February 14th. 

Please stop in to the rest of today's hoppers.

Under the Big Top Circus Pillow

I was lucky enough

this fall to work with 

a beautiful collection 

of fabric by Blend.

It is Calliope  by 

designer Maude Ashbury.

It is cute and whimsical.

After some deliberation, 

I decided to make a pillow 

that embraced the circus theme.

You can see some tricks to how I created the 

flaps to the circus tent and

other details over at Thermoweb.

I used Aurifil 12wt. thread 

to quilt the outside edge and to 

hand-stitch the banner string down.

I just love how it 

turned out.

The full pattern for the pillow 

can be found on my Craftsy
pattern page.

This would be the perfect
pillow for the nursery for all those spring or
summer babies that will
soon be arriving.
You will have to not sew on buttons,
if it is to be in a child's room. 

While you are downloading the 

Free pattern, go 

and check out the awesome sale that 

Craftsy is having.

It is Craftsy's End of Year Sale.

I picked up this quilt kit that 

I have had my eye on for some time.

It is the Paddy Cake Holiday Homies Quilt Kit.

I can't wait to get this 

and finish it for my son for next Christmas.

It is just too cute.
