The talented AnneMarie over <a href="http://www.genxquilters.com/2013/08/boxstep-quilt-pattern-release.html">GenX Quilters</a> has just come out with another incredible quilt pattern and I was lucky enough to be asked to be one of her testers....(squeal!) The pattern is called <a href="http://genxquilters.bigcartel.com/product/boxstep-quilt-pattern-pdf">Box Step</a> and it is great. </div>

The Box Step comes in three different sizes and the pattern is loaded with pictures and lots of helpful hints. I've been so intimidated by flying geese and AnneMarie shares her method that is so quick and easy, I couldn't believe I'd been avoiding them for this long!</div>

Used a bit of my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/155301734/vintage-novelty-fabric-with-purple-lions?ref=shop_home_active">vintage lion fabric</a> to make this sweet little dress. I love the circle yoke. I made it the next size up for E so it might be a little bit before she wears it. The pattern is from <a href="http://www.peekaboopatternshop.com/">Peek-a-Boo Patterns</a>. Go check them out and help support this sweet little mommy. Her little ones are too cute! <br />

simply said.... i. love. embroidery hoops. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw a pouch on <a href="http://pinterest.com/bolamodesign/">pinterest</a> with this little sewing machine on it for the person's sewing notions as they travel and I just fell in love with the scrappy little machine. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is what I was inspired to make for my girlfriend's birthday</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a small hoop just about 6 inches but the little machine is so stinking sweet. Now I'm itching to make myself one for my bare wall in my sewing room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Birthday A!</div>

I found this goodie in a box of clothing my mom gave to me when I was pregnant. The box was mainly sweet little dress my mom made for me. This little shirt was snuck in and gave me the biggest kick this weekend when I found it again. Yes, it's a little short but we're just hanging around the house today and it is cracking us up. I have even found E lifting it up to look at the characters on it. </div>

I'm still in the process of taking photos and pulling out goodies from my stash so check back again in a few days in you don't see anything. And if you are a local quilter let me know and we can skip shipping. </div>

I wish I could say I took the time to write you a tutorial for this dress. It all starts with a onesie and once you have your groove down and your girl's measurements, you can pump these out within 30 minutes. </div>

The belt is made out of this gorgeous stretch velvet I found on etsy, and I have a sweet little matching yo-yo head band for Elise to wear too. I'm thinking bout doing an Easter dress this style for her too. </div>

So with <a href="http://bolamodesignstudio.blogspot.com/2013/02/wip-seahorse-softie.html">operation Birthday</a> under way, there has been a lot of sewing. I keep getting more and more ideas of gifts she NEEDS:)...ok more like mommy wants to make her. Here is the quilt that started it all........and by all I mean the softies and theme for her party. </div>

I love the sea creatures. The panel repeated once too, so I cut the repeat off and turn it into a skirt for her, but that's another post. It's a little big so it will be the perfect zoo skirt this summer! Have to be styling while in the aquarium! </div>

Today Elise and I got the chance to play with a 3 yr. little man. He is the cutest thing, but he's also not mine so I have no pics to share, but you can trust me when I say he has the sweetest little smile. I wanted to do something fun and super cool while babysitting so I grabbed my masking tape and made him a road for his trucks and dinosaurs he brought over. </div>

She's pretty amazing too. Nana was the only one who didn't know what she was holding. She just thought we were being weird, but she loved it! One of the Photo people at CVS asked us....why don't you just take one photo with all 4 of you in it........Brian and I just looked at each other thinking.....uh, because this is way cooler!</div>

You can see baby girl better in the 8x10 but next time I would suggest starting with the youngest being a 10x13 and then switching to 8x10s. </div>

Sweet little striped quilt for a baby soon to be born. Mama-to-be is having her shower this weekend. She doesn't know I've been working on something so I think she'll be tickled (pink, of course) to unwrap this goody along with her other surprises. </div>

The main fabric is an oldie Amy Butler, and I just added a bunch of other strips to go along with it. I backed it with a snuggly raspberry flannel. It's so soft and warm. Baby girl is lucky Elise is too big for it:). I quilted it with simple stripes. </div>

I think it fits her style perfectly. Not too girlie and not too frilly. And as a plus, the daddy's favorite color is orange so I snuck a little in there for him too. </div>

This month is loaded with fun baby showers and first birthdays! We went to a party last weekend for a sweet little friend of Elise's and I whipped up this little owl for her to snuggle up with. Her bedroom is decked out in an owl theme and this little one already looks so at home on her toy box!</div>

I don't have a pattern for this one, I just created a template and went to town decorating and quilting to make her special. The one thing I super recommend.....super recommend:). Is adding interfacing or batting to the front of this little softie. It made it more durable and any lumpy stuffing doesn't show through. Now I want to make one for Elise.....ha ha poor girl is going to be covered in softies and quilts. </div>

I am fully in operation Elise's birthday. She loves aquariums. fish, the ocean you name it, so we have having an "Under the Sea" themed birthday party. I made her a dress and a quilt to go along with the theme which I'll show soon and last night when I couldn't sleep I started working on this little guy. </div>

I based the shape off of this pattern, but didn't really follow the pattern for no real reason, <i>just didn't</i>. I added also ric rac little spikes to the back instead off sewing in the spikes as part of the body. I really like this change! </div>

And here is my final block for 2012's <a href="http://bolamodesignstudio.blogspot.com/search/label/BOM">BOM</a>. I finally <a href="http://bolamodesignstudio.blogspot.com/2013/01/bom-11.html">found it </a>embarrased to say clipped to my design wall nice and safe. geeze :). It's painful being organized sometimes:). I'm late posting my final block as I've already started quilting. I'm loving how it's turning out! I'm using <a href="http://freemotionquilting.blogspot.com/2009/12/quilt-as-you-go-connections.html">Leah Day's quilt as you go method</a> and just think it's brilliant. <br />
<br />
And I loved it so much I signed up for 2 spots for this year's BOM so the quilt will be big enough for our bed hopefully. It's a sampler quilt and I chose the color way with a gray background and solid Kona colors for the designs. can't wait!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15715051606158506227noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3019100167997107057.post-48681848265019222352013-02-04T03:00:00.000-08:002013-02-04T03:00:12.848-08:00MQG Madrona Road Challenge<div style="text-align: center;">

I am so excited. I am finally done and was able to meet the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/2137282@N20/">challenge's deadline</a>. Here's my Madrona Road wonky star wall hanging. It's already hanging in my foyer and I love it. Wasn't sure about the yellow background at first but it really grew on me! My guild chose a <a href="http://columbusmodernquiltguild.blogspot.com/p/stars-and-stripes-columbus-modern-quilt.html">stars and stripes theme</a> for the challenge so I pieced the wonky stars and quilted on the stripes. The stars are all nestled in with each other and I love the random order of it. </div>

Not sure if you can tell in the pics, but I played with the binding and made a few of the stars part of the binding. I really love this effect. It might be easier to see in the larger picture. I quilted with a 12 weight aurifil wool thread. It was a gorgeous variegated yellow. It looks really good in person and you can see the extra thick stitches opposed to normal cotton thread. </div>

Sneak peak at what I am hand binding by the fire this week. The basement is a little cold for sewing, and the fire is so inviting. It's baby size. I'll have finished pictures next week. I am so excited to have one of my UFO's finished! Onto the next one.</div>

We've been trying to figure out for awhile now...<i>as in since we've moved into our house 6 years ago,</i> what to do with our coats when we come in wet, snowy, etc. I saw a few ideas on etsy and pinterest and put Brian to work <a href="http://bolamodesignstudio.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-advent-season-is-quickly-closing-in.html">again</a> with a vision in mind. We had a fun time hunting down these knobs between flea markets, our garage and the Habitat for Humanity Reuse Store. </div>

Here is number 11. This one might be my favorite.<br />
<br />
I <b><i>was</i></b> so close to finishing my <a href="http://bolamodesignstudio.blogspot.com/search/label/BOM">BOM</a> on time....however......I <b>lost</b> my 12th block. I know I picked it up, and I'm sure it made it home, but somewhere in the holiday shuffle and quickly leaving town I've lost it. I can't make a quilt with 11 blocks! <br />
<br />
Now, I'm afraid instead of finishing this first thing in 2013, I'll be adding to my UFO pile - I was suppose to be reducing it! I know I'll find it somewhere. I think someone in the house is playing a joke on me and waiting to see how long it takes before I go mad. Joke's on them :).<br />
<br />
I'll give it a month...then maybe search online for a star I haven't done to finish it off.
