Christmas in September?

It occurs to me that I haven't mentioned my Quilt-and-Felt Christmas Ornaments, at least not lately.

My Etsy shop has a variety of cute ornaments that I've made.

Maybe you're like me and you're trying to beat the last of the summer heat by looking forward to cool, crisp fall and winter ...

Possibly, you want to be reminded that Thanksgiving is less than three months away, and Christmas is only four months away!

Take a look at the Christmassy things in my Etsy shop!

More Custom Baby Name Quilts

In a post the other day, I mentioned making Custom Baby Name Quilts ... because they make great gifts. I got inspired to make a few more!

I got a lot of quilting done relatively fast thanks to my Flynn Multi-Frame. (I've blogged about it before ... including posts here and here.) Not many people seem to use a quilting frame with a regular sewing machine, but it's a great option!

The frame quilting is not something I do all the time, and it does take some getting used to, but I LOVE the results!

After a lot of quilting ...

... and a lot of binding ...

... I've got some adorable pink flannel-and-cotton quilts in my Etsy shop -- these are ready to customize and personalize!

Custom-lettering is a fun way to personalize a quilt ... These quilts are specifically made to allow for a baby name to be quilted in!

A Custom Baby Name Quilt!

I love making personalized gifts.

Quilts are my favorite baby gift, baby shower gift, welcome-baby gift!

I love being able to give a gift that has a personal touch. Something custom. A little bit unique.

So, I loved making this quilt, and personalizing it for a friend's new baby.

Quilting the name in this style was a fun technique. Is it thread-painting? Maybe. I like it. I love how the letters stand out, even without any extra batting, just because of the dense quilting.

This was a fun gift to make, and I've got a few little quilts similar to this for sale in my Etsy shop, all ready to customize.
