Spring Carrots & More Quilt Labels

 Jenny Doan of the Missouri Star Quilting Company 
is one of my favorite people online. 
Check out these cute spring carrots that I made over the weekend:

If you'd like to make some simple carrots, too, here's the demo on YouTube: 
(I admit that I didn't use the wedge template. 
I made my own wedge from paper. I just estimated, & you can, too!)


My 20 year old niece, Aubrey, is taking after her mother: they're prolific quilt makers!! With collaboration through Google Hangouts, here's three labels I machine embroidered for her today, as well as one proposed and disposed (I saved it though for future use cuz it's so easy to modify!):

This was a fun one to make! I selected the musical staff and then stacked her name in a wavy style on top of it. Nice idea, huh?
I'm not an Oregon State Beavers fan (my alma mater's arch rival!), but Aubrey needed it for her father. Oh well!

Aubrey chose this one instead.
