Throughout this last week or so I have received some pretty wonderful "happy mail" in the form of a handmade gift, handmade purchase, fabric splurge, and in email form -- a first Four Fat Quarter Apron. I'd love for you to see!
How perfect is this embroidered felt needle book from Alia?! She was inspired by the colors of my Summerlove Spring Bidie Pillow that I made a few weeks back, and used them to create this new needle book. She was so sweet to send it to me with the nicest owl card!
It is actually my very first needle book and couldn't be more special! Thank you Alia!!
This make-up roll was stitched up by one of my favorite bloggers, Jodi. It was made using Rachel's pattern and when she was selling off a few of her handmade items on her facebook page recently, I just couldn't resist! This is one of the patterns I have had on my "must make" list since the day Rachel released the pattern. The next best thing to making it myself would be to support someone I adore!
Jodi always chooses the best fabric combinations for her projects, I do love her style! If you are looking to find a new, inspiring blog to follow give a visit to Tickle & Hide!
Krista of Poppyprint, sent me this photo on Monday evening of the very first Four Fat Quarter Apron made using my latest tutorial. She made my night!! She even re-purposed an old linen shirt to make hers -- love that! Thank you Krista!!
These are a pair of crowns that I'm sending off to my friend Nicole, who blogs at Mama Love Quilts. I get so excited to see orders from those of you who I feel like I actually "know" through my blog or from following your own. Thank you Nicole!!
I'm also sending off this Quilted Chevron Pin Cushion to Riley Blake today. I'll have a tutorial to share over on Cutting Corners later in the month as part of the RBD Pin Cushion Club. I just can't get enough of these chevrons, especially the yellow, gray, and black...oh and the aqua!
Have you all seen Summersville? This is the first fabric collection by Lu Summers and is one of those collections that I just had to have all of. I don't do that very often, but I seriously love everything about these prints. Beautiful colors, cool designs, and the projects I've been seeing made with them are so inspiring!

I have been thinking about you lately. I am glad things are looking up. I hope that it gets easier for you. I'm still amazed at the number and beauty of your creations every time I read your blog. I also really liked the Sendak quote you posted earlier this week. Craft therapy. It's important to do something for you. Take care.

Wow, that is a lot of happy mail. Looks like the world conspired to give you something to smile about =)
ReplyDeleteWhat great goodies sent to you in the mail! How great to make something for someone you actually know!
ReplyDeleteThe pincushion looks awesome, think I'll be needing one that big soon enough.
Love the Summersville prints too! I ordered some directly from Lucie herself =D
What an honor! Thanks for your kind words and I'm so glad you liked it. Aren't owls great??
ReplyDeleteOh what a fabulous collection of happy mail! My Summersville is winging its way from Julie right now :o)
ReplyDeleteThanks again for sharing about Craft Hope for Haiti and for posting the apron tutorial. It was just what I needed the other day - a pretty sewing fix!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous and I agree about Jodi's eye for colour, she is quite the little miracle worker in that field!
ReplyDeleteAll the gifts are just wonderful, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Tatyana
Maureen, you did a great job with those crowns! I'm loving them! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI hope you check older comments. I found your adorable felt birthday crown on pinterest. I followed the link here and would love to make some for my twins' 2nd birthday. Do you have any tips? Do you have a picture of what they look like lying flat? I was hoping to do a search on your blog for them but I couldn't see a search button. Most specifically how do you do the letters? THanks for your help. I also saw that your etsy site is closed right now- is that right? I just wanted you to know I loved them enough to want to try to make them! erinladybug at yahoo dot com or I'll try to check back on here for a reply comment if that's easier.
