more bunting::because i love it so




if you don't frequent my personal blog then it is probably news to you that i am expecting. surprise! i am nearing twenty-seven weeks and if you hadn't guessed yet, we will now be adding pink to our home!

i've been slowly working on putting together baby girl's nursery. i have a deep love for vintage but i also want it to have a modern feel to it. hopefully it turns out just as i hope.

here is some bunting that i made with corresponding fabrics from her crib quilt. they are all from vintage linens that i've collected over the years. i'm so happy with how the it, as well as the quilt, turned out.

bunting is so simple and can add huge character and charm to any room in the house. i'm hoping for some spare time in the next couple of weeks so that i can come up with an easy to follow pattern to share with you all.

are you working on any projects?? do share!

modern pinwheels



i got so excited when i came across this quilt pattern. i have always had a special place in my heart for pinwheel quilts but have never felt brave enough to take one on. with this i will get a little flavor of it plus the quilt is beautiful, simple and modern. the blocks were so much simpler than i had imagined in my head {i like to complicate things} and i am so in love with the fabric combination. the plaid was something i had in my stash and have absolutely no idea where i got it or who makes it. the orange is from riley blake's bloom and grow collection. it's orange primrose and it's one of my favorites. i haven't been able to find anymore of it but have found it in blue, which i equally adore.

this is the magazine that the pattern is found in. it's definitely beginner friendly and will give you a lot of practice in block piecing. i can't wait to get it all put together!
