Soul Blossoms: Caille's own

After Caille finished Armando's quilt, she had just enough time left in her spring break to sew up a quilt top for her very own quilt. I (slowly) finished it off by doing the back, the quilting and the binding. 

This is my first attempt at "the baptist fan" quilt-stitching (the pattern the quilting stitches make). 

This is made from Amy Butler's Soul Blossoms fabric collection, Moda solid white and Warm & Natural cotton batting.

Official teenager: halter tops from old t-shirts

It's official! Caille turned 13 today!

While I've been busy making Mike's quilt here in Waco, she's been in San Antonio, transforming old tees into halter tops for the summer.

Mustaches and color blocking during spring break

Color blocking can add dramatic impact to a garment. Caille loved Alaexander Henry's Where's My Stash fabric, so I ordered some for us to make something over spring break. She cut some of the pieces from black to break up the mustaches.
