Journey to a Quilt

I used one of Robert Kaufman's fat quarter bundles. I cut them into strips and then also used white stripes cut from some yardage I had.
After making my blocks and attempting to square them up, I cut them way too small so instead of putting the blocks together, I sashed in between them...

This is just a pic of the binding....this quilt was made for my Auntie whose birthday is St. Patrick's Day so I put a little shamrock fabric in the binding...


I quilted lines in between the sashing and then did a X in the middle of each block. I also tied a button in the middle of all the white blocks...



Here is a pic of my Auntie holding up her quilt last night at her surprise party!!

Baby Shower with PaperTrey Ink!!

My baby shower was in May 2009 and I have been a fan of PTI (papertrey ink) for a long time....When this stamp set came out, I just knew I would use it for my baby shower (if I had a boy, which I did).....


These were my favor boxes...I had blue, white and brown chocolate sale boats and anchors inside...
This was my thank you note...
I showed my BFF what my decor was and she created several of these table decorations...Nichole Heady had a great tutorial on 3d boats HERE and my BFF just increased the size....
And here is one on my cake...
