Another variation on the continuous line Quilted Baby Animals designs; this quilt uses the smaller appliqued and stipple quilted blocks combine with its corresponding mate from the original set.
Finished blocks here 6″ and the finished quilt is 34.5″ by 47″.
Again I’ve used quilt-as-you-go to assemble the quilt this time using narrow sashing strips. I love the bolder colors on this quilt!

I loved the baby animals from the continuous line artwork used to create Quilted Babu Animals one-day quilt so it repurposed the animals into appliqués.
This quilt features the set of larger designs and I’ve used the versions that have the additional stipple quilting echoed around the applique. Finished blocks are 8″ square.
I’ve used quilt-as-you-go techniques to assemble the quilt.
I chose soft colors for the sashing and soft flannel for the backing. Finished size is approximately 33.5 x 44.5″.

I made this little quilt in just one day and I didn’t burn the midnight oil to finish it. Finished size is 30.5″ x 39″and the blocks are 7″.
These designs are low stitch count, single color, with no jumps or trims and are designed for quilting. Here I’ve used them for feature blocks but I really intended to use them in another quilt as the alternate blocks.
Another great thing about this quilt is that it works equally well for either boys or girls. And with it sewing up so quickly, you won’t be concerned if the dog or cat curls up with baby too!

How cute are these little bunnies! Beautifully detailed in-the-hoop stuffed bunnies stitch up quickly. Customize your bunnies by swapping up the fabrics or adding fun little embellishments like ribbons or small buttons.
Each bunny can be completed in just a single hooping. I used brushed cotton on my first bunny and slinky microsuede on the other 3.
The slinky knit worked up much better, turned more easily and has a nice “fur-like” feel. Smallest “baby” bunny fits a 100x100mm (“4×4”) sewing field while the standing bunnies are designed for a 130x180mm sewing field.
These make a quick little gift for baby showers or Easter baskets or “just because!”

A friend of mine came to me with a photo of a birth announcement she’d seen at a baby shower and asked if I could reproduce it. I recognized the fonts as similar to, if not the same as, ones I’d already digitized so it wasn’t too difficult.
She needed it to fit a 5×7″ sewing field, so that information combined with the baby’s details was all I needed to reproduce her photo.
I liked the layout and since my niece had recently given birth to a baby boy, I adapted the layout for him. Of course, she never actually got it since it became a resident of my traveling sample case.
Funny Little Story: You might think my house is filled with embroidery. It is, sort of, but only in high concentrations in travel cases ready to go to the next show.
Fonts used: Hobo, Rachel, Helvetica Narrow plus a candle wicking motif.
I set this up in my digitizing software where all my fonts live as closest point keyboard fonts. Once I have my design set up, I can easily customize it for another baby.
… Read the restCaution: I did have to significantly distort some of the characters to match the photo and that can work better in a digitizing program where you still have the object as opposed to working with a stitch file font.
Darling baby quilt using just the duck appliques and coordinating quilting designs.
All the blocks are quilted in the hoop and then assembled using a piece as you go technique. PAYG works best on smaller quilts and becomes really unwieldy on larger ones.

I designed this bonnet for a friend’s daughter’s baby nautical themed baby boy shower. Instead of piping, I used rickrack for an “ocean wave” feel.
These designs were customized for this bonnet and I’ve recently added them here: Baby Bonnet Whale, Baby Bonnet waves.
The pattern can be instantly downloaded in the Freebies section of the shop.

Building Block designs are perfect for combining; it’s what they were made for!
These two bonnets are simple to make. I’ve embellished the brims with a continuous border composed of small designs and finished the edged with piping. Ribbon is laced through a casing in the back to cinch up the bonnet.
I was inspired to make these bonnets after seeing a similar one on Martha’s Sewing Room, a PBS sewing show focused on heirloom sewing techniques. I’ve been a guest on Martha’s show many times!
As it turns out, I’m just able to embroider the brim in one hooping on my 12 needle machine but you likely need to figure out how to split it and rehoop it for your machine.
The green bonnet is stitched with leaves from Leaves Building Blocks.
The white bonnet is better suited to a baby girl and also uses some Leaves Building Blocks. in addition to Delicate Roses and Elegant Scrolls.
All three of these sets are perfect for creating heirloom style designs and yet aren’t limited to that genre.

One of my favorite projects and you can actually complete the entire quilt in just one day!
The blocks are quilted with the embroidery design using a matching bobbin thread then pieced together using a piece-as-you-go technique. Instructions are included in the set download.
