Amy's Creative Side


I am linking up to Amy's Creative Side and Blogger's Quilt Festival to share this baby quilt, the most important one to me for 2012. Thank you for stopping by and looking.

I made this quilt for my best friend of 23 years first grandchild. David Michael Platt was born on January 31, 2012 to Amanda and Justin Platt. When I first saw the Backyard Baby fabric line designed Patty Sloniger, for Michael Miller, I knew I wanted to use it for little Davids quilt. What I imagined was ants tunneling through the jars full of insects, tall trees running up both sides with the woodpeckers peeking out, and the play yard on the top and bottom. I wanted the quilt to have lots of things for a baby's eyes to focus on. The fabric reminded me of all the things our kids loved to do when they were little ones.

He is such a blessing to all of us! It is awesome to make quilt for people you love and cherish. Laura may you life be filled with many such blessings and happiness. I cherish your friendship even more after all these years.

Cartwright Seam Ripper Giveaway

Welcome my friends and those who maybe visiting for the first time! Today, I am so excited to introduce you to a true West Virginian Artesian, Greg Cartwright , of Cartwright's Creations . His items are sold in historical shops throughout West Virginia. He is a lover of reclaimed wood of historical nature and creator of works of art! Greg (Cartwright's Creations) & I A note from Greg Dear Readers I have provided two seam rippers to Lisa so she can have one and one to give away. They are both made from beautiful old growth oak which was reclaimed from the original train depot in Weston (Lewis County), West Virginia. Train service was established in Weston around 1880. This wood is representative of a great part of my passion for this venture in woodworking for me – that is finding wood with a story to it. I must admit that my main focus is pens and pencils but it really doesn’t matter what I am making as long as it is from wood (although I have recently added pens...

Update This Giveaway is closed! And the winner is ... #105 gpc March 5, 2014 at 12:13 PM I follow your blog! :) Think Ruffles Blog Hop Welcome to "In The Boon Docks" and Day 1 of the "Think Ruffles Blog Hop"! My name is Lisa and I am so happy you are here today to see my quilt with ruffles! I have to thank Madam Samm @ Sew We Quilt and Amy (Head Cheerleader)@ Sew Incredibly Crazy for arranging this great hop! What is a ruffle? There are lots of different kinds and Madam Samm left it open to interpretation. She showed us how to make some and at the time I was thinking; ruffled bloomers, ruffled dresses, ruffled pillows. Then I saw a quilt in a magazine with what looked like ruffles! I kind of browsed through the issue of Quilt-it today , March/April 2014 issue and left it in my rocking chair and went to work. The second time I read the "Garden Path" pattern by Ann Baxter, (I had already made the quilt), it read "ruching", you don...
