12 inch Wall Letters, Quilt Clips, and Wall Plaques - MiGi's Blossom bedding

Sunday, September 13, 2009

Done in my new birch wood letters in the Victorian font, ZOEY turned out absolutely gorgeous, in my humble opinion. Each letter set that I finish becomes my new favorite set. It's been difficult choosing a few themes to create for samples to take to an upcoming craft show!


ZOEY is actually in 12 inches, as my new letters can be done any size up to 24 inches tall, and in many different fonts. First, I started with a pale pink background. Then I added the burnt umber tree branches and vines twisting through the letters.

I also had the sweet little birdies custom cut to coordinate better with the Blossom bedding. Each bird is painted white and layered with a wing and eye. The wings are bubblegum pink with pale pink and burnt umber polka dots. The eyes are burnt umber.
The blossoms are also in the white, bubblegum pink, pale pink, and burnt umber. Adding the polka dots on the large blossoms almost made me cross-eyed!

Lastly, I used a sheer pale pink ribbon, securely stapled to the back of each letter, for the letters to hang by.

You can see more detail in the quilt clips that I created to go with the letters.

Then on the wall plaques, I started with 5x5 squares in pale pink and added the burnt umber branches to match the letter set.

Beavers for Enchanted Forest by Lambs and Ivy

Friday, May 8, 2009

This bedding set is so refreshing! The Enchanted Forest is unlike other baby bedding in that it has a forest theme to it, perfect for nature lovers. The modern touch of geometric shapes of teardrops and circles in most of the squares and the neutral colors with splashes of light blue sets off the animals in the quilt.

A customer wanted the little beavers to hold up the baby's quilt, so I had the shape custom cut to match. I then handpainted the beavers to coordinate with the bedding. I used a bambi brown and country twill on the beavers' bodies, and then nutmeg brown and black on their tails. Of course, I couldn't forget the white buck teeth!

Other options for this quilt would be owls, birds, mushrooms, polka dots, or leaves. Or even custom cut squirrels or leaves.

Nearly all of my designs can be done in almost any of my nursery decor items!
