Well, not the remodel I've been homing for but I have been working on the new website. Sorry for the lack of posts, but it's been really time consuming as I'm doing it myself:-)
Should be unavailing it soon though and have lots to blog about!

Modern Baby Quilt for Baby Chahal
Well my cousin is expecting her first son, how exciting, and so of course I had to welcome him to our family with a new quilt!
I had originally found this fabric for a quilt I was going to make for Maiyo, and still will after I finish his Dr. Seuss quilt. You all might recognize the print as its the same theme from the baby quilt I made for Maiyo 2 years ago, and my first ever quilt!
I just absolutely love this animal theme and color design by Riley Blake and couldn't pass up making more memories with this wonderful flannel fabric.
For the back I had some Minky fabric that I bought on a whim and it matches perfectly.
I also decided to try out this new modern quilting technique where you quilt the squares individually and them piece them together. I have to say that the technique is handy since I don't have a nice machine with which to quilt, but probably not the best technique for quilting with bulky fabrics like minky...oh well, live and learn.
Fabrics Used:
Hooty Hoot Kangaroo by Riley Blake
Cozy Cotton Flannel in Chocolate from Robert Kaufman Fabrics
