Riley Blake Designs - In The Forest

We're to the very crazy, busy time of the year and I am just that: crazy busy! With school, before school activities, and just life in general I haven't felt like I've been able to have nearly as much sewing time as I'd like. Also, the weather is so amazing right now. I know there are plenty of places that it's freezing, but It's just cooled off from our high summer temps and has been absolutely perfect. So the idea of staying indoors has not been a popular choice right now.

Michael Miller - Little Sewists Brighton Pillow Cover Tutorial

I am so excited about Little Lizard King's first fabric line, Little Sewists for Michael Miller Fabrics. I've loved their patterns for years and a fabric line is just perfect!

I ended up making two things for today's post. First is a peek at my first quilt pattern that I'm working on called Sporadic Snippets, and the second is a tutorial on how to make the Brighton Mini Quilt into a pillow cover.

So lets get started!

Riley Blake Designs - Fossil Rim 2

I have a new baby nephew on the way! It's been quite some time since a baby was born in our family and I'm more than excited to make all the baby things! 

Riley Blake Designs newest line, Fossil Rim 2, is absolutely perfect for a little baby boy!

Michael Miller - Sew Fruity Mini Quilt Tutorial

I just love bright colors and Michael Miller's new line, Sew Fruity, is chalk full of them! They make me happy and I couldn't resist making a pineapple mini quilt wall hanging so I get that little extra happiness whenever I see it in my sewing room wall!

Riley Blake Designs - Under the Canopy

I have been so excited about this line! It's Riley Blake Designs Under the Canopy by Citrus & Mint Designs. It has so many adorable animals: cheeta's, sloths, flamingo's, etc. and I LOVE the colors! I couldn't wait to make a quilt from this line!

Riley Blake Designs - Joey

Joey by Deena Rutter is seriously the sweetest and most adorable line! If I was ever to have another baby, this line would dictate that babies entire room. Since there will be no more babies for me, I chose to make a twin size quilt. I just love the colors and we're talking about Koalas and Sloths here. It just doesn't get cuter than that!

Michael Miller - Travel Mini Backpack

Today I get to share my mini Travel backpack made in Michael Miller Fabrics new line Travel Daze! As a kid, we moved a LOT. I'm 35 and I've moved 32 times in my life, just to give you an idea. I love seeing new places and meeting new people. While you're travelling, it's always nice to have the perfect bag to take with you!

Riley Blake Designs - Fairy Edith

My girls absolutely love Faeries. Everything about them. So when I saw this line,  Fairy Edith by Riley Blake Designs, I knew it would be a big hit with them. And since it was going to be something they'd all love, I knew it had to become a quilt! 

Michael Miller - Flower Girl Book Bag Tutorial

This post contains affiliate links. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Can you guys believe how quickly the summer break is coming up on us? Although most of my kids went to public school this year, I plan to work on some homeschooling during the summer, and a reading list is high on my list! Of course with Reading lists, we need some fun book bags for my kiddo's too and Michael Millers Flower Girl border print is perfect for this project. 

"Plant the seeds to your dreams" I think is extra perfect, since reading, I feel, is the seeds to learning.

I love all the fun florals in this print and the border fabric works perfectly for my long blonde eyed girly! Also, if you've never worked with Michael Miller Fabrics before, I cannot tell you how buttery soft their woven prints are! If you aren't up to buying some online, go find a store that carries their fabric close to you and just feel it. You will thank me!
