Quiltsy Video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwxnqAIw4-Y

Kimbuktu from the Quiltsy Street Group I belong to made this video and posted it on youtube. We are trying to find ways to promote our quilts and bring more quilt buyers to etsy. I think she did a great job, let me know what you think.

I am working on a few more quilted projects to list in my shop www.originalsbylauren.etsy.com
and I hope you will stop by often to see what I have. In the fall I am planning on making more silver jewelry, as I do not have access to a torch until the end of this month.

Don't forget, the holidays are right around the corner, and what better to give than a handmade, one of a kind gift.

Tulip Tablerunner

I just finished this table runner and couldn't wait to show it off. I made the tulip blocks by paper piecing. The batting is warm and natural cotton, and it is machine quilted.

I love the colors in this quilt. It is very springy, but would certainly brighten up any table in the depths of winter. I live in NY, so we need something pretty in January to make our homes feel brighter.

This runner is exta long , 54" x 20", so it will fit a diningroom table. I am very excited to see if you like it as much as I do. Please let me know what you think.

Rag Quilted Bag


I made this bag yesterday and listed it on etsy this morning. It is cotton flannel, and it is rag quilted.
It is the perfect size for a small tote or a purse (12" x 13"). the strap is long enough to slip over your shoulder, but still short enough to carry on you arm (16"). I listed it for $25. It is a great neutral bag, to go with alot of colors. I think it is perfect for fall.
Well, it isn't raining , so I am going to go take advantage of the weather before it starts. Maybe I'll even get some sewwing done.

Annual Picnic



We had our annual family picnic yesterday, and it was alot of fun and alot of work, as always. I was able to get my cousin to let me photograph her in my unisex apron. I also got a shot of my brother in it. It is listed on etsy, and I think that the alexander henry fabric is alot of fun!!

I am working on some quilts to list, so stay tuned. That's all for now, I am still tired from yesterday.

Apron Model Photos








Hello,

I finally got some photos of my misses sized aprons with a live model. I think they look so much better that I relisted 5 of them this morning. I think the improved photos will get more people to click on them.

I have some children's items that I have yet to take pictures with models. I just never seem to have enough time to get everything done.

Tommorrow is my big picnic, so maybe Sunday I will post some pictures.
