Sewvivor - The Life of Riley - Rachel

I might be slightly off my rocker, but I've decided to put an entry in to Sewvivor.  It is the quilter's edition!  How could I not!?

 Sewvivor is hosted by Rach at Family Ever After. (great name, of course!)

After much debate and thought, I am entering my Ruby Hexagon Baby Quilt.

 I made this quilt two years ago for a dear friend who was expecting her first girl after three boys!  The hexagons and diamonds were pieced with a combination of machine and hand piecing.  It is made from one of my favorite lines ever, Ruby by Bonnie and Camille.

 The back is a super soft and snuggly flannel, also from the Ruby line.

 I did all the quilting myself, free-motion on my domestic sewing machine.

 I even included a special hexagon label on the back.

 Thanks for stopping by!

Ruffle it Up

This is my official entry post for Sew-vivor. 

Here are the details of the outfit:

Vintage sheet pulled from in-laws closet.

Ruffles are made from a yellow tissue knit

Skirt is based off the skirt pattern from Bits & Pieces by Sandi Henderson

Top is based off a pajama pattern, fully lined and with an added modesty panel.

Doll dress designed by me.

Ruffled ribbon headband also made by me.

 We went out yesterday to take a few more pictures.  That's why there is a difference in seasons, and size of the girl!

 See how that skirt moves!

 I also did an embellished T-shirt as part of the ensemble. 

More twirling.

I decided on this outfit as a submission because I thought it showed a variety of skills, even though it isn't one of my most recent.
