Buggy About You Quilt...

This fun quilt was made by me! It my favorite quilt I have sewn so far. I love sewing yo yos! And these giant yo yos melt my heart. I first learned to make yo yos from my Grandma Jackie and I think I made about a million the summer she taught me.

This quilt took me quite a bit of time but I would haul my fabric, needle & thread around in my purse and work on them here and there when I had a minute. We made several trips to the park this summer and while the boys were playing I would be stitching. The inspiration for this quilt came from my new little baby boy. I made sure I snapped some pictures of him on the quilt.

Pattern available in the Bugaboo Pattern Book.

Bug-Catcher Set...

When we first started brain-storming projects for the pattern book Carolee knew she had to have a Bug-Catching Set. Debbie Raymond took charge and wowed us all with this cute project. I love the way she incorporated the Bugaboo Scrapbook Paper with the fabric collecion. Every little kid will love exploring the backyard with this cute set.

Bugaboo Applique Quilt...

I love how bright and playful this quilt is! Our talented Tammy Andersen designed and quilted this beautiful quilt. She brought each of her hand drawn bugs to life as she enlarged them and appliqued them into each quilt block. Check out the beautiful detail in the photos below. If you didn't have time to create the entire quilt I think an appliqued pillow would be so cute. Way to go Tammy! You will find Tammy's pattern and applique templates in our Bugaboo Pattern Book.

Wilson Corey Hall...

We are officially a family of five, Wilson Corey Hall was born August 31st. We are so delighted to have him in our family and his big brothers couldn't be happier. Guests that come to greet the little guy have to fight with Boston for a chance to hold him. And Daxton has a hard time remembering his name which is hilarious. The whole experience has been wonderful and I am one happy momma!!
