Recent Butterfly Kisses

I realized recently, that it has been awhile since I have shared some projects.

I thought I'd show them in their various states.  Proofs and finished!

Without futher ado....

A few shirts for some Molly Bears.

A special request.  This momma had a Farmall quilt made for her husband.

I did her oldest living daughter's prints.

And then sweet baby Dalton's prints in the middle.  

There is an empty third spot for her future rainbow baby!

Proofs for footprints

and handprints.

And one of my favorites!  A heart applique.

I love Button's hand gently touching this as I took a photo.

On a lovey!  This blanket had a teddy head.  I mimicked the heart applique based on the already exisiting heart.

I have three blankets and pillowcases in various stages as we speak before the holidays.

I will be taking a break for a few weeks to catch my breathe!

Mr. Nicholas

I am so sad about this one....

Not because it didn't turn out well....

Just that I had to use the largest hoop I had on my machine. 

A multipostional hoop at that.

It requires me to do the project in two steps.

Why did I need such a large hoop?

Because his prints were much larger than I usually receive.  I think I am used to small little itty bitty prints. It isn't that his aren't small. They are definitely newborn standard.

It is just that it made me think about how hefty he must have felt in his momma and papa's arms.  

So yes.....just a little sad.

And to get around the thread competing with the print this time.  I decided to do it applique style.  That way his prints in off white thread really showed well on the brown cotton fabric background.

As always, I sure hope momma and papa enjoy "holding" him one more time.
