A pattern testing sort of week...

This week was a busy one! It's the first week back at school plus we celebrated our son’s 4th birthday. He requested an "Avengers party" - again...little boys and their super heroes!

We shook it up by having an Avenger's Pool party and it was a lovely time spent with friends and family, but I think we all realized the pool party wore the parents out more than the children 😜

​I had started the tradition that every year the kid’s get a birthday quilt. With this year’s birthday being Avengers theme, my little Captain America has a Cap quilt to call his own. When he saw it pieced together he said "oh no my gosh! Mommy made me that!" It absolutely melted my heart! ❤️💙❤️ 

I also completed a pattern test called "Domestic Illusion" for Mister Domestic! He is seriously amazing! If you haven’t checked out his Instagram yet, add it to your to-do list (follow him here). He will be releasing the pattern soon so keep an eye out for it. I used gradient solids in mustard tones and love the results - it definitely won’t be the last one I will be making. I must say I really enjoy the weaving process, and I am a huge fan of the Wefty needle (available here) as it makes the process quick and easy. ​

Although the week was crazy with wonderful busyness, I did lots of sewing and added new crib sheets to the shop from the new Cotton & Steel "Les Fleurs" and "From Porto with Love", as well as a few from Riley Blake's Greatest Adventure.  I really enjoy these sheets as I think they give a fun unique feel to the kid's room!

​Some secret pattern testing was also done, but I cannot announce what it is until mid September… getting to work on such fun projects is truly a treat! I can’t wait to show you all! 

As mentioned last week, I have also started a “secret” project of my own that will be my next giveaway here in the coming weeks so stay tuned!  Here’s a picture for a sneak peak...

Until next week, behappy  beunique  bequilting
