Quilts for little boys bunk beds

I have two little boys that are best buds every afternoon when the first grader gets home from school.  They both love the color orange.  They were also in need of spreads for their bunk beds.  The end result...

 long slender quilts to fit the top of the mattress,

 with fish applique,

 and fish quilting!

 Uneven stripes with a large rectangle of the main fabric.

Center rectangle with border of 6 inch squares and 3x6 inch rectangles.

These quilts were so simple to cut and piece together...too bad it took me over a year to complete them.  Sometimes life gets busy.  I am so thankful these little boys love their new bedding.

Spring Wreath

Spring is upon us :) The daffodils have been about to open for several days. On Thursday, which happened to be a craft day with my sisters, the blooms were bursting forth. The signs of Spring are all around.
Craft day needed to be a spring project. This is the easiest and quickest project I think I have ever crafted with my sisters.

Fabric wrapped springtime wreaths!

Supplies:
wreath form

tear 2 inch strips of fabric--approximately 2"x45" (you will need 3-4 strips)
glue gun
silk flowers

Here are the finished wreaths.
