Bits and Pieces

Sorry I haven't posted in a few weeks.  I've been so busy working on several projects.  I completed two t-shirt quilts in time for graduation presents!  I also finished a baby quilt for my brother's baby who is absolutely adorable!!  (I'm not biased at all!  ðŸ’— )  I am now working on another t-shirt quilt! OH!  Before I forget...I officially opened my little online shop.   It's A Cynch! is open for business! Like the name??  I can't take the credit.  My sister came up with it.  She's more creative than I am!  The link to my Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/IsACynch .   As soon as I figure out how to add the Facebook link on this blog, I will. I also got a new toy to help stabilize t-shirts faster.  I bought a heat press.  I researched and checked reviews and this one had really good reviews for the price.  It is quite heavy though!  But what would have taken me an entire day of watching Dr. Who on Amazon while ironing stabilizer onto thirty t-sh

A baby (quilt) to love!

My brother, Kevin, and his wife, Nicki, are expecting their first baby! We are all over the moon with excitement! We can't wait to meet this new little person! Defying the popular trend of finding out the sex, they have decided to let it be a complete surprise. I think that's more fun. So Nicki said she wanted neutral colors for the baby quilt. I fell in love with the scrap bin flying geese pattern. I used neutral colors with a tiny splash of aqua or blue-green. I said a tiny splash of aqua...I just loved the geometric pattern.  I used the leftovers to piece a modern quilt back.  The quilt is about the size of a lap quilt. I think that's a better size. They can use it for picnics and a play blanket. I have some bibs and burping rags to make.  I hope the baby knows how loved they are!  Meaningful gifts is what it's all about!  Happy quilting y'all!
