SEEING DOUBLE!

I am seeing double and no alcohol is involved...
Just lots of fun fabrics!

I'm talking double kwilts for doubling the fun with
TWINS!!!

Giraffes are stretching their necks out
over these yellow, gray and white fabric
perfect for any gender twins!
A great size (36" x 52") for baby to toddler.

Each layout of the blocks 
and binding colors 
are different so each twin will know
which kwilt is theirs.


 Cute Giraffe Love by Michael Miller fabrics along with some
of my other designer stash kwilted with meandering softness...
Doubles the fun!



A picture..is worth a thousand words.

Backing is a small black and white heart print.
Just fabulous!

What babies or adults for that matter
wouldn't love see double...and finding these
precious kwilts!



For sale in my Etsy store now!

FOXY BABY!!!


Meeting my 2014 Stash Bustin' goals, 2 QTR finishes!

Pulled these fabrics from my stash
for a FOXY baby kwilt!



Made the top at a kwilt retreat in May




Straight time kwilting took some time and patience 
(which I lack-patience not time)



the back

My friend, Joanna saw my IG post with the fabric, 
asked if I had promised the kwilt to anyone?

I had not...sooooo

It will be a gift from me for her new baby boy, 
Jeremiah Kevin Malachowsky
who made his "just a bit early" debut on June 6, 2014
Baby and Mom are both doing just fine!

A FRIDAY (the 13th) FINISH

Today is Friday the 13th.  
I'm not superstitious but while making the kwilt in this post
I did encounter a freaky kwilting experience. 
It began with this QUILT BLOCKS jelly roll 
and some solid gray and white fabrics.


I was using a pattern called "Pick Up Sticks" 
But while laying out the blocks 
they began swirling around in my head
and landed in this design.


Loaded on my friends longarm,  kwilting straight lines but Ms. Gammil had a "thread breaking" spell cast upon her!
 NO CHANTING or SCREAMING helped.
Half way kwilted I had to remove it from the machine.


Mad as a black cat, on Friday 13th, stuck in a tree...
I pinned the nightmare to my carpet for basting.


 Finished kwilting it on my Bernina!


Binding added and ALL DONE! 
Spell broken!


This 54" x 66" lap size kwilt is listed 

What kwilty freaky thing  have you encountered?
