Christmas Birdies Gift Tags & Ornaments
Spoonflower is having a Gift Tag Contest this week. For this contest I decided these quirky Christmas Birdies would make for fun gift tags and ornaments for the tree. You can use any of the matching coordinates in the Christmas Birdies Collection for the backside of the ornament or find material that matches, stuff in some batting, sew up the sides and then sew a ribbon at the top to use to hang upon the tree. They would make cute and very affordable secret Santa gifts! Hint...hint!
If you would like to see the entire Christmas Birdies Collection please click here. Within the collection I have a few snowflakes fabrics to choose from, some fun designs with the entire cast of characters and a cheater quilt. Here is one of the designs that is part of this collection.
Also check out my Zazzle shop where you will find tons of items for sale with the Christmas Birdies designs. Here are just a few of the items at my shop!
At my Society6 shop there are art prints and throw pillows with the Christmas Birdies designs on them too. Here are just a few of the throw pillows for sale at Society6.
Thank you so much for taking the time to check out these wacky characters. Hope they brought you a little Christmas cheer!

How often do you get to see a bird wearing antlers on their head.

Hope they brought a little smile to your face this holiday season! I'm just sure there is a children's book here somewhere. Stay tuned I might just be crazy enough to put something together before Christmas is here.

Zig Zag Cheater Quilt
For Spoonflower's Zig Zag Cheater Quilt Contest I decided to enter the Ladybug Cheater Quilt. This piece is part of the Ladybug Collection. Currently I have five pieces available for sale from that collection. The fabrics that you can purchase now are Daisies & Ladybugs, Colorful Ladybugs On Vine, Pink Daisies & Ladybugs , Red Ladybugs On Vine and Red Ladybugs On Vine Green Background. If you are interested in any of the other fabrics please contact me and I can make it available for purchase as soon as possible.
This cheater quilt was my first ever to put together. A cheater quilt is designed to look like patchwork or applique so that you do not have to do the piecework and just quilt and bind the fabric to make a finished quilt. They are a lot of fun to design. It's kind of like putting a puzzle together using fun colors and different designs. The ladybugs were inspired by my dear friend who asked me to design ladybugs for her sweet daughter's first birthday. End result was 16 different fabrics and 2 cheater quilts to choose from. I love being asked to design something special for people that they have in mind. If I have time what I tend to do is to make a variety of different fabrics of the same theme so that the client has many to choose from. I'm also always willing to adjust sizing of the design and colors to better suit the needs of the client. So if you have an idea for a design and would like to have it on fabric and would like me to design it please by all means contact me. It provides great inspiration for me and I always love the challenge of a new project. Plus I'm always honored by the request.
Now at Spoonflower you can also purchase these designs for wallpaper and wall decals! Perfect for a child's bedroom or play area!

Camping Contest
This is my design for the Camping Contest at Spoonflower. I decided to go with a quilt style this time around and ended up creating six pieces for the collection. I'm not a big camper but I do enjoy the outdoors. For this one I had to go back in memory lane when I was a girl scout and when I was a young girl going to the lake house every summer for years up in Minnesota. How I love Minnesota! I can still remember riding a bicycle through the woods and feeling wrapped up in all that nature looking up in the trees while pedaling forward. It was a beautiful place to be. I don't normally use clip art for my work but for some reason it just seemed fun to do with this design and to transform it a bit into my own by using colors and textures. If you would like to check out my collection please click on Gone Camping.
The Camping Contest begins on Thursday, August 16th and best to get your vote in by Monday, August 20th. You do not have to be a member to vote.

Ladybug Cheater Quilt
Okay so yesterday I designed my first cheater quilt. I think I am addicted to designing cheater quilts now. I am not a very experienced seamstress and I honestly believe this is something I could make. I'm thinking perfect gifts for my daughters, son, nieces, family and friends. I will post my attempt once I have received the material from Spoonflower.
This ladybug design was inspired by a dear friend of mine. She has so kindly asked me to design ladybug material for her precious daughter's first birthday coming up. If you would like to see the Ladybug Collection please click here. If you are interested in any of the fabric please contact me and I'll make it available for purchase as soon as possible.
The Ladybug Cheater Quilt is also part of the Ladybug Collection. One yard of this fabric would make an adorable ladybug quilt. I was imagining all kinds of embellishments like red, pink, or light green soft satin ribbon around the four edges or even adding on more fabric pieces from the Ladybug Collection if you are an expert sewer. I designed the ladybugs to look like buttons so it could be a really cute addition to sew buttons onto the quilt too. There are two fabric pieces that I'm thinking about for the back side of the quilt. I think I'd like to try a yard of either the Daisies & Red Ladybugs On Green Background or Pink Daisies & Ladybugs.
I copied a link here to get basic instructions on putting together your own cheater quilt. If you are a novice sewer like me click here for the How to on eHow.
I will be sure to post my cheater quilt adventure. Wish me luck! Maybe since this is a ladybug quilt the ladybugs will bring me that extra luck I need, you think? I'm going to surely need it!
