boy oh boy

One of my biggest fans is my sister-in-law's sister Shelley! Shelley fell in love with the baby quilt I made for Alex before he was born, and when she was pregnant, Chrissy had me make a gender neutral quilt for her. I did it in greens, turquoise, then Chrissy had it embroidered when she was born. Now Shelley has ordered a few more for her friends! She ordered this custom baby boy blanket in blues and yellows for a good friend of hers. I had so much fun putting this one together because I love the patterns, which he can grow with, and the little touch of trucks makes it so fun! I hope baby Kobe Jacob loves it just as much :)

Beau Ties

I appliqued these onsies with bow ties, bows, and cupcakes for a couple special new arrivals! Baby Jack got the bow tie ones and we are still waiting on our good friends Steve and Kelly's newest addition - should be any day now! Cambridge's finest babies are stylin from auntie noni :)

Petite Filles

A sampling of a couple little girl quilts I did in the summer.  The mom of one of the Jaxon's contacted me after receiving her baby boy quilt and asked me to make her a quilt for her neice Myah! I had something already somewhat complete that she wanted (top and bottom pics). I made it a bit bigger and used the soft dotted minky backing...it looks so cozy and pretty for a little princess! The one in the middle was made for Ella, Ashlee Fruson's cousin Kahla's little girl (whew)! I even made a dolly blanket to go along with it - super adorable!

Proud Aunty

My lil' nuknuk Alex Bradford in a photoshoot for a great cause - Imagine Kids Photobook by Revival Arts Studio has raised thousands of dollars for Mathew's House, which is going to be built here in Abbotsford.  Revival Arts has been donating their session fees to the house and they are creating a coffee table book of all the kids pics! Go to rablog.ca to pre-order your book, cute kids, a good cause, what more could you want :)

You don't know Jack...

Over the past couple of months I have made 4 quilts for the totally adorable baby names Jack/Jackson/Jaxon! My latest favorite (top left corner) was made for Kirk and Krista and their beautiful new baby Jackson, who I had the pleasure of meeting last night :) He is just so delicious! Jaxon's quilt was a special order from his mommy's dear friend Mariko! The owls quilt was given to close friends, Shayna and Smitty from Ontario, who just had their first baby, Jack, a few weeks ago! And the birds and dots was a custom order for Carly, a friend from PDP, who is awating the arrival of her baby boy, Jack!

A plethora of little "Jacks"

A Love Affair with Love

This is a personal favorite, and I have gotten many great responses from others as well! I made this for Chelsea, a great friend from PDP.  She wanted a quilt with bright turquoise and corals for her family room, she decided on Amy Butler's Love series, a perfect choice, since she is a newlywed! I designed this quilt using a big block pattern because I like modern piecing and the fabrics are just so beautiful, I wanted them to be seen in big chunks, not tiny squares!  And the best part Chelsea LOVES it too! Thanks girl!
