A few months ago, I made a little special quilt for our granddaughter, version #1 of my Nestled Stars quilt (see post). The fabric is charming, sweet and soft, and I had a little leftover border fabric, so I made this Bubble Suit.

Baby Clothes ~ Sewing with Designer Knits!
I've been playing Grandma lately, making little clothes for my grandkids!
For my 9-week-old grandson, In the Forest fabrics by Riley Blake Designs with its little forest animals. Oh, so sweet!
Riley Blake Designs' cotton fabrics are adorable in the first place, and many of their lines also carry limited selections of "Designer Knits"; soft, luxurious cotton jersey knits. I love sewing with this fabric.

A Riley Blake Designs Quilt Kit: The Duke!
Here's a fantastic quilt kit of my favorite cowboy, John Wayne!
John Wayne was an iconic movie star - making nearly 150 movies over four decades. Here are a couple of fun facts I learned: His nickname, "the Duke" stemmed from his dog named Duke. Folks would refer to them as little Duke and big Duke. He based his trademark walk and talk and persona after Wyatt Earp, who happened to be a personal acquaintance. And as Wikipedia put it, John Wayne personified for millions the nation's frontier heritage. Yep.
Instant Blocks: Flying Geese
Here is my preferred way to make my flying geese! It's a "no-waste" technique, which makes me happy. These "Instant Blocks" only require one background square plus four small print squares to produce FOUR flying geese at the same time. Oh, I love that!
