Inspire. Empower. Create.
Fun fact: The cupcake was originally named for its super-simple recipe: 1 cup butter, 2 cups sugar, 3 cups flour, and 4 eggs. No pinch. No dash. No hand-crafted vanilla or truffles foraged under a full moon. Just 6 cups & a handful of eggs! Easy peasy!
This week Jenny uses Moda’s Cupcake Mix® Recipe 4 to whip up an easy batch of tiny blocks just as sweet as real cupcakes. Click HERE to learn how to make this pretty quilt!
When Jenny’s daughters designed a gigantic postage stamp star block, she was impressed. But when they realized that just one of those blocks was big enough for a quick baby quilt, she fell in love!
Baby Blocks is a beautiful pattern, and with strip sets and half-square triangles, it comes together in minutes!
I love welcoming new bundles of joy to the world with homemade gifts from the heart. I just found out recently that I’ll have a new niece or nephew by this fall, my cousin’s pregnant, and so is one of my best friends! They seem to come in threes, don’t they? As you can imagine, I’ve already started dreaming about all the fun gifts I can make.
A baby quilt is always a wonderful option (we even have baby quilting kits and tutorials to help), but if you’re looking for something extra to go with it, or something a little quicker, here are some projects you’re bound to adore.
Small children have surprisingly strong grips! Keep them turning pages without tears with soft, fabric books. Choose from Safari Expedition, McAnderson’s Farm, Sweet Dreams Little One, Travel Around the World, You’re My Little Chickadee, and many more! Check them out HERE!
Stuffed animals are always a big hit with little ones, but they’re even better when they’re made with love instead of store-bought and when they’re made with extra plush Shannon Cuddle like these in the Elephant Cuddle Family Kit!
Old MacDonald had a farm e-i-e-i-o. And on that farm there were the cutest Farm Fun animals you’ve ever seen! These stuffed animals are so easy to make. Simply cut out the pieces from the fabric panel, stitch them together, and stuff. You’ll have a gift they’ll love completed in no time!
Dudley and Doolittle are two life-size sea turtles that can’t wait to be squeezed! Wouldn’t they be the perfect addition to an “Under the Sea” themed nursery? We think so!
Tummy time just got a lot more fun! Stitch up a soft, snuggly buddy for baby made with Cuddle fabrics by Shannon in tan or aqua.
If you don’t have time to make something this time around, check out our Swaddle Blankets from Shannon Fabrics! They’re beautiful, great quality, and affordable!
Happy making!
Babies are the best, which is why we’re so willing to overlook how gross they can be. Runny noses, smelly diapers, and mysteriously sticky fingers all fade away when your little munchkin snuggles up for a love. And there’s just nothing sweeter than baby kisses! A smooch from those teeny, chubby, kissy-lips is enough to cast a spell on anyone!
With a few snowballed corners, this new Baby Kisses Quilt is pretty, pint-sized, and perfect for wrapping up your little angel. Plus, it’s so easy to make!

Look at this adorable wall hanging/baby quilt Mom and I put together…..Is it not the cutest thing ever!? Seriously, I love it. It makes me want to have another baby……almost. 🙂
