Appliqué Crazy

Yesterday, while Jude was sleeping and I had read everything I brought with me to the hospital, I decided to browse through some applique websites.  I found quite a few precious patterns to add to my growing collection of cuteness!

So today, being as excited as I am about them, I decided to display my collection (so far) in case anyone is interested in a top or burp cloth for any holiday or special occasion coming up!  And yes I have already downloaded some for the fall and winter- with a new baby on the way, it's never too early to start on the cute holiday wardrobe ;-)

Appliqué Patterns






















I just can't wait to see Jude and Sweet Pea wearing some of these!  Or, if Sweet Pea is a boy, to see Jude and Sweet Pea in some matching outfits!  I already have plans for matching seersucker Jon Jons with the baseball glove appliquéd on the front of them!!  (Even if Sweet Pea is a girl, I'm sure that she and Jude will be wearing some coordinating outfits ;-)

Let me know if you see anything you like!  I'll be posting these on The Mustard Seed Boutique's Facebook page later on today!


**If you are or will be interested in any LSU or any other team themed appliqués for the upcoming football season, let me know soon because I don't know how much free time I'll have once the baby gets here at the end of July.  I might not be able to make anything the entire month of August!  Right now, I only have a few sports themed appliqués, but I will be adding more if there is enough interest!

My FIRST Order...

This afternoon, I got to do something so exciting...

I GOT TO DELIVER MY VERY FIRST ORDER FOR THE MUSTARD SEED BOUTIQUE!!

I was contacted by a good friend from the past about making a carrier cover and some burp cloths for her son, and I was so excited and so honored to be able to make some goodies for such a sweet and adorable baby boy named Coleson.

First I made his carrier cover...


These burp cloths to coordinate with the cover...

And these LSU themed burp cloths...

I also learned (with some trial and error from the directions in the manual) how to do appliques.


My friend was so excited about them when I delivered them!  I was too; I couldn't wait for her to see them and Lane was just as excited!

 I'll be posting them to my Facebook page and maybe as examples on my Etsy shop!  

Well.. you made it through another "embroidery" post :-)  Thanks for letting me share.
