From a Holiday Star Bundle...

Today I was cutting, cutting, folding and tying...

 ...and binding...

 ...after piecing and quilting this tree skirt yesterday from the above Star Fat Quarter Bundle.

The Star Bundles are now available in my shop, and with the purchase of a Star Fat Quarter Bundle, you will receive a Free Pattern to make the Christmas Tree skirt!

The fabrics are from the Holiday Classics fabric line just like the Kits for the Holiday Classics Quilt that Mary made in This Post. (These projects all make up really quickly ~ so there's still time to get them done before Christmas!)

...and it's Maddie approved :) 

Enjoy the day!

A Fresh & Fun Break

When I need a break from the tons of designing that I've been doing lately, I like to make up little crib quilts :)  This is my Fresh & Fun Modern Crib Quilt. 

It's made with one little charm pack of Moda's Salt Air fabric collection designed by Cosmo Cricket, some coordinating yardage from the collection for the backing and binding, and a little Kona Bone.

 I quilted it with an all over meander with a light pink variegated thread.
 

This is the cute fabric I used for the backing and binding.  The quilt's so easy to stitch up, I've made a couple for gifties, and one to ship out as a donation for Mountain Baby Blankets :) 

Kits for the quilt are available both on the SWD Website, and Our Etsy Shop ~ and they include all fabric including the backing and binding!  ...Or if a really quick gift is needed, you can just buy the quilt already made Here in the Etsy Shop, so spread the word :)

Enjoy the day!
