My new Nephew Cooper and his quilt!

I just got back from a great trip of invading my brother, his wife and their new 7 day old baby, Cooper. I say invading because it was me, the 3 kids, my mom and day and Carl. That's 7 people all at once



The most exciting part is that I was able to finish the quilt I have been wanting to make for them. This quilt is inspired by a wonderful quilt in the Gee's Bend Collection. Two years ago the kids and I had the pleasure to see the collection at the de Young. I have been so inspired by them but have not taken the leap to use them as true inspiration in my designs. Cooper coming was my excuse. This is the first design in many I hope to have in my shop.


The lovely inspiration quilt is made by Loretta Pettway. She made it in 1960 out of cotton twill and men's clothing.
My design includes the wonderful prints from Amy Butler.


Please keep an eye for some to pop into my shop soon.

July Etsy

In honor of my birthday I am posting one of my favorite baking supply shops. CupcakeSocial has been a wonderfully fun source for all my cupcake needs.
I have recently been a bit obsessed about trying to recreate the Magnolia Bakery cupcakes. It is of course one of Carl and my favorite places to go when we are in the lovely New York.



Cupcake Social has vibrant graphic cupcake liners and toppers. Have fun browsing through their items.
