Howdy, pardner! {sorry, couldn't resist!}

This set of 4 cowboy hat quilt clips were handpainted for a very special handmade quilt. Here are the colors, clockwise from the top:

1. burnt umber hat with a light blue band accented with a grass green squiggle
2. bright yellow hat with a light green band accented with burnt umber x stitches
3. toffee (tan) hat with a red and white gingham band
4. grass green hat with a white band accented with tiny burnt umber dots

Each style can be customized with the colors of your choice, or you can even order them unfinished so you may paint them however you wish. Rope in your order today at www.littleelephantcompany.com. {just had to do it!}

PBK Jackson Whale Quilt Clips

Monday, January 16, 2012

One of my favorite bedding companies, Pottery Barn Kids has some of the cutest sets. But not only are they so very adorable, they are high quality sets that last through several children.

It is not uncommon for someone to purchase a retured PBK bedding set second hand and then ask me to make a set of quilt clips to go with it. And last week, I found out that my PBK Baby Boats quilt clips went along for the ride to the second owner (the new mom was looking for instructions on how to use the quilt clips).

I think the PBK Jackson bedding sets will be another one of the sets that will see many baby rooms for sure. A soothing light blue with navy and basil green accents, Jackson is a fun pattern for little boys.

So my Jackson whales are custom laser cut to match the whale shape from the bedding itself. I paint them a base navy coat, and then I add in the dots...lots and lost of dots. I use the tip of a screw to put on all those itsy bitsy dots, if that helps with the visualization!

Then the fin is a nice lipstick red, with a white eye and stitched mouth. Cute, cute!

If you would like your own set of Jackson whales, head over to my website, as I have them listed there and ready for you!
