Christmukkah Baby or Toddler Bib for both Christmas and Hannukah

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 16:06:53 -0500

$9.00
The perfect bib for those families who are going both ways! Celebrate two holidays in one fun bib! The back is a neutral winter print, so it is wearable all season long!

This bib fits infants through toddlers, so you can get a few years use out of it. It is made of 100% cotton, and has a layer of absorbant cotton flannel inside to help keep those holiday clothes clean! You can flip it and use the back for a second meal before washing, it is that thick!

This is the holiday version of the same kind of bib I make year round. The bib has coordinated reinforcement stitching all the way around. Plus, good velcro closures which hold tight for years...my daughter's are going on 3 years old now, and I have had no problems with the velcro at all. This is a fantastic bib!

Green Sleeve Coffee Cozy in Purple and Green Batik

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 20:58:08 -0500

$7.00

I hate waste and I hate things that aren't reuseable. I love coffee, and usually am too forgetful to bring my travel mug wherever I go.

Instead of those little cardboard sleeves that go around my coffee cup, I invented this reusable solution from scraps of fabric left over from my other projects. Made entirely of cotton, these handy little things can ride around in my purse until I finally give in to the caffeine monster. Plus, they're cute.

They work well, even better than the cardboard ones, with the added bonus of being useful on cold drinks too, soaking up condensation outside the plastic cup.

The Green Sleeve Coffee Cozy (tm)~ makes a great gift, for yourself or for that coffee lover (pair it with a gift card!).

This and all my cozies are individually tested for the right fit. Toss them in the washer and dryer whenever needed.

This is my original design, conceived and created in 2005, before anything like it was on the market. I did not patent it, so I understand you making your own, but please do not copy my listing.

Wholesale inquiries welcomed.

My two favorite colors, together in one beautiful batik pattern. Due to the nature of batiks, the placement of the pattern may vary slightly from cozy to cozy. If you are not fully satisfied with your cozy, I am always happy to exchange them, I want you to be happy.

Custom sets in colors to match pretty much anything are also available. Wedding favors, Bridesmaids' gifts, groomsman gifts, team colors, themed parties, you name it, you got it. Buy by the dozen for wholesale price.

Quilt Lovers Tote Bag with Pocket

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 19:06:29 -0500

$12.00
Tote bags are good. These are better cause I added a handy dandy pocket to them so I could make them more useful and help you out with the saving of the Earth plan I know you are unfolding in your brain.

Use the tote to take to the market, to fill with groceries, to confuse the bagboy, to save the earth, to save a tree, to hold onto your projects, to unclutter the landfills, to put your workout clothes, to send with your kid to preschool, to take to Target, you know the drill.

This tote measures 15" x almost 16", the straps measure 12" if you pull them up and measure from their apex to the top of the bag. The pocket is smaller than the bag and is fully lined with a good quality muslin. It is sewn in such a way that both the inside and the outside of the pocket have no unfinished edges. Perfect for your keys, wallet and cell phone.

Save a tree. Take your own bag to the market. Doesn't have to be this one...just not those plastic or paper do-dads.

Oh, and it holds a lot...check out the last pics for how much. Note: the bag in that picture has ink stains and is NOT one for sale...yours will be perfectly clean with NO stains...unless you want to place a custom order.

This fabric is especially cute for the quilter or seamstress...all kinds of sayings about fabric and quilts are all over it. I made a few from the same fabric, so the placement may vary from what is pictured. You could even keep food away from this bag and just fill it with your latest work in progress!

No question. Dad, Brother, Grandpa, Aunt Sue. They all need one.

**note** fabric placement may be different than pictured and the adult bibs have a coordinating fabric on the back, (not the same as the front). Thanks!

Custom Event Memory Quilt

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 20:20:18 -0500

$175.00
This listing is for a 20 square Event Memory Quilt. It is the perfect activity for a baby shower, bridal shower, anniversary party, going away party, birthday party, wedding, or any other time when you want to commemorate the event with your guests' help!

Here is how it works:

You purchase the listing and I send you 20 6" x 6" squares of cotton (default is white, but light colored fabric is available also). At your event you have your guests create in whatever manner you prefer (fabric pens, puffy paint, fabric paint, embroidery, etc) their own personal square to commemorate your event. (This can even be done without an event, you can pass out the squares and have people send them back to you).

Once your squares are decorated, you send them back to me (I provide the envelope in your original order) and I make them into a Memory Quilt, using a coordinating fabric of your choosing. The entire quilt is handtied, the back is made of a good quality white cotton, the interior is cotton batting and the binding is machine stitched. The finished quilt is approximately 40" x 48". This can also make a beautiful wedding chuppah, if you add on a larger border.

The quilt in the picture is a sample of a memory quilt that I made, it is not for sale. This listing provides you with the ability to customize your own.

If you need more or less squares, differently sized squares, or would like add ons like a handstitched binding, a hanging sleeve on the back, or a themed print on the back, please send me a conversation first so that I can make a special listing for you with the correct details.

Please feel free to convo me if you have any questions.

Thank you for looking!

Earthy Goodness Wonder Tote with Chain Link Pocket

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:38:43 -0500

$12.00
You're tough. You're Urban. You're street. But, hey, you love the Earth too~ and you aren't afraid to shout it out!
Nothing says that better than a chain link pocketed reusable shopping tote bag.

I lucked out at a garage sale and got a gross of plain, unused, canvas tote bags at a dealio...So I added the handy dandy pocket in cool fabric and voila!

Use the tote to take to the market, to fill with groceries, to confuse the bagboy, to save the earth, to save a tree, to hold onto your projects, to unclutter the landfills, to put your workout clothes, to send with your kid to preschool, to take to Target, you know the drill.

This tote measures 15" x almost 16", the straps measure 12" if you pull them up and measure from their apex to the top of the bag. It is big enough to hold a gallon of milk, a few cans, and then some.

The pocket is fully lined and has no unfinished seams. It is plenty big enough to hold your wallet, your keys and your cell phone. And this bag is way cuter than the supermarket versions of the same.

Save a tree. Take your own bag to the market. Doesn't have to be this one...just not those plastic or paper do-dads.

Pretty Circles Grocery Bag Holder for Plastic Bags

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:38:43 -0500

$10.00
I mainly use canvas reusuable totes for all my shopping, and you should too (I have some listed if you need some), but even still, I still find I have an assortment of plastic bags from either the grocery store or miscellaneous other stores or even from things like bread or fruit that may come in bags. I know they can be recycled now, but I like to have some on hand for scooping out the cat litter or lining the bathroom trash can.

So...

I have these fabulous bag holders, which can hold plenty of grocery bags...I stuff them in the top and can pull them out one at a time from the bottom. They are made of cotton, have fully finished serged seams inside, and have a ribbon for hanging. The top and bottom are both elastic and they have plenty of space for your bags.

Earthy Goodness Wonder Tote with a Blue Pocket

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:38:42 -0500

$12.00
Do you love blue?

You won't be able to get enough of these lightweight but sturdy canvas muslin bags, embellished with a fancy pocket for all your toting needs.

Use the tote to take to the market, to fill with groceries, to confuse the bagboy, to save the earth, to save a tree, to hold onto your projects, to unclutter the landfills, to put your workout clothes, to send with your kid to preschool, to take to Target, you know the drill.

This tote measures 15" x almost 16", the straps measure 12" if you pull them up and measure from their apex to the top of the bag. It is big enough to hold a gallon of milk, a few cans, and then some.

The pocket is fully lined and has no unfinished seams. It is plenty big enough to hold your wallet, your keys and your cell phone. And this bag is way cuter than the supermarket versions of the same.

Save a tree. Take your own bag to the market. Doesn't have to be this one...just not those plastic or paper do-dads.

Canvas Tote Bag with Quilted Green Yellow and Hearts Pocket

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:38:42 -0500

$12.00
Tote bags are good. These are better cause I added a handy dandy pocket to them so I could make them more useful and help you out with the saving of the Earth plan I know you are unfolding in your brain.

Use the tote to take to the market, to fill with groceries, to confuse the bagboy, to save the earth, to save a tree, to hold onto your projects, to unclutter the landfills, to put your workout clothes, to send with your kid to preschool, to take to Target, you know the drill.

This tote measures 15" x almost 16", the straps measure 12" if you pull them up and measure from their apex to the top of the bag. The pocket is smaller than the bag and is fully lined with a good quality muslin. It is sewn in such a way that both the inside and the outside of the pocket have no unfinished edges. Perfect for your keys, wallet and cell phone.

Save a tree. Take your own bag to the market. Doesn't have to be this one...just not those plastic or paper do-dads.

Oh, and it holds a lot...check out the last pics for how much. Note: the bag in that picture has ink stains and is NOT one for sale...yours will be perfectly clean with NO stains...unless you want to place a custom order.

This quilt square was made up with leftover pieces from a double irish chain quilt. Upcyling is the way to go!

Toddler's Girl Towel Robe 18 months to 3T in Beautiful Magenta

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:38:42 -0500

$35.00
This gorgeous robe was constructed from one luxurious towel with a great trim on the bottom.

Perfect for pool time or bath time, your toddler will look like a star in this absorbant robe!

Fits approximately 18 months-30 months. Should run a little big on a 18 month old, but the sleeves would start getting short on a 3 year old.

Makes a wonderful present or a fabulous investment. This can easily be handed down through many children! Each one is one of a kind, as I rarely buy more than one of each towel, and I always trim each one differently.

Green Sleeve Coffee Cozy Purple Checkerboard with Green

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:12:32 -0500

$7.00
I hate waste and I hate things that aren't reuseable. I love coffee, and usually am too forgetful to bring my travel mug wherever I go.

Instead of those little cardboard sleeves that go around my coffee cup, I invented this reusable solution from scraps of fabric left over from my other projects. Made entirely of cotton, these handy little things can ride around in my purse until I finally give in to the caffeine monster. Plus, they're cute.

They work well, even better than the cardboard ones, with the added bonus of being useful on cold drinks too, soaking up condensation outside the plastic cup.

The Green Sleeve Coffee Cozy (tm)~ makes a great gift, for yourself or for that coffee lover (pair it with a gift card!).

This and all my cozies are individually tested for the right fit. Toss them in the washer and dryer whenever needed.

This is my original design, conceived and created in 2005, before anything like it was on the market. I did not patent it, so I understand you making your own, but please do not copy my listing.

Wholesale inquiries welcomed.

Custom sets in colors to match pretty much anything are also available. Wedding favors, Bridesmaids' gifts, groomsman gifts, team colors, themed parties, you name it, you got it. Buy by the dozen for wholesale price.

Tryptophan may get you but the drippy gravy will not if you wear this Thanksgiving Turkey Adult Bib

$12.00
The Quilting Mama Adult Bib is here for Turkey day!

(last one in this print)

You know you need one.

Got an uncle, dad, grandpa, husband, boyfriend, sister, mom, or other grownup who always spills on themselves? This bib is functional as well as pretty. Made just like my toddler versions, it has an absorbant layer of flannel inside. The only difference is the size and the fact that the fabric is only on one side, the back is a coordinating solid color.

This would be a fantastic hostess or host gift too.

Take Me Out To The Ballgame 5T Little Lounger Cotton Pants

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 21:36:46 -0400

$12.00
Yes! A Quilting Mama favorite, now available on Etsy!

Sick of not finding cute pants for the little guy in your life? Look no further that the cute, comfortable, cotton Little Loungers (my OWN design/pattern- no front or back)...perfect for all occasions.

The cotton in these pants is a good quality, lightweight cotton which breathes wonderfully, thus making them ideal for warmer weather. They cover up legs to protect them from the sun without having to worry about sunscreen, but are loose and comfortable enough to wear in weather over 100 degrees.

------------------------------------------------------------

***100% Cotton
~~~Double stitching on all stress seams
***Elastic waist fits 16-22" waist (I can trade out for smaller or larger if you need, just request in "notes to seller" during checkout)
~~~All edges serged for a professional finish.

Wash and Dry- because they are for kids, yo! They need to be easy to clean, right?

The last 2 pictures in the series are of my son wearing a pair of his own Little Loungers...to give you an idea of fit. It is the same design, but a different fabric and possibly a different size, but the idea will be the same. You can let your child wear them even as they get taller, as the cut of the pants will look like "clamdigger" or "beachcomber" pants once they aren't full length.

This is the ONLY pair left in this fabric...if you want a different size, you'll need to ask me about other fabric choices...once these are gone, they are gone.

*Please note, these are not treated with any fire retardant chemicals so they are not legal sleepwear in California and possibly not in your state either*

Description
I lucked out at a garage sale and got a gross of plain, unused, canvas tote bags at a dealio...so I added a handy dandy pocket to them so I could make them more useful, sell them, and help you out with the saving of the earth plan I know you are unfolding in your brain.

Batik Bib Trio for Baby through Toddler

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 17:53:35 -0400

$22.00
Plenty Bright Bib Set
1-green/pink batik bib
1-purple batik bib
1- rainbow sherbert bib
------------------------------------------------------

So here is what I did. I took my absolute favoritely sized bib for my daughter and made a pattern. I chose some fun, bright, stain hiding cotton fabrics, added an in-between layer of cotton flannel, and ended up making a bib all my friends were instantly jealous of. I started making them by request, then added them to my line after figuring out a great size that would work for new eaters all the way through toddlers. The nice thing about them is that besides being pretty, bright, and (usually) stain hiding, they are so thick that I have often kept them in the diaper bag for more than one meal. In fact, I made it through 5 weeks in Italy with only 4 of these bibs for my 1 and 3 year old (yes, I did wash them regularly).

All 100% cotton, handmade by me with quality, generously sized Velcro closures. I only make a few of each kind because I have fabric ADD. All have reinforced decorative stitching in a coordinating thread around the perimeter. Oh, and they are all double sided with the same fabric on both sides- so if one side does get stained, you have a second side to work with!

You won't be disappointed.

Here is what one customer said-

"Your bibs are great for messy babies! They are so cute, and the patterns don't show stains. Plus, they are really absorbent, keeping the baby dry underneath. Go, Quilting Mama!"

Could be daisies, could be chrysanthemums, who knows? This print on navy is pretty regardless of whether it is botanically correct.
-------------------------------------------------------

I mainly use canvas reusuable totes for all my shopping, and you should too (I have some listed if you need some), but even still, I still find I have an assortment of plastic bags from either the grocery store or miscellaneous other stores or even from things like bread or fruit that may come in bags. I know they can be recycled now, but I like to have some on hand for scooping out the cat litter or lining the bathroom trash can.

So...

I have these fabulous bag holders, which can hold plenty of grocery bags...I stuff them in the top and can pull them out one at a time from the bottom. They are made of cotton, have fully finished serged seams inside, and have a ribbon for hanging. The top and bottom are both elastic and they have plenty of space for your bags.

Doesn't the doll deserve a quilt, too?

This one measures 15 1/2" x 19" and is machine pieced with 100% cotton. Hand tied and machine binded, the batting is also 100% cotton, so it will get softer with each wash.

Could also be used as a decorative piece, if all the dolls already have blankets.
