Star Quilt Clips

Sunday, June 3, 2012

Did you know that my star quilt clips can be painted in any color?

I can also paint them in contrasting colors or even add stitches or distress them to better coordinate with your child's bedding set.

A happy mom sent me this photo of my stars with her son's all-star quilt. These are a lipstick red and match perfectly with the bedding, bringing out the red accents for his room.

Stars coordinate with many different bedding themes, including celestial, sports, transportation, teddy bear, and more.

I handpaint each one to your specification, but I am also happy to send you a set unfinished so that you can paint it yourself.

Visit my website at www.littleelephantcompany.com to order a set for yourself today!

Vintage Inspired Airplane Quilt Clips

Wednesday, April 18, 2012

Transportation themes are popular for boys, right behind jungle and sports themes. And these vintage inspired airplanes are a beautiful touch to a nursery.

These airplanes fly straight up when hung, as if they are lifting the quilt up, up, and away!

For the red airplane, I started with my newest shade, tomato red. I love the richness of it. I then handpainted the propeller, window, and stripes in white.

The blue airplane is a deep navy blue. The wings are chambray blue, a pale blue with a gray base. I then cut out a star to trace onto the wings and painted those white. (I think next time I will have some stars laser cut to be layered onto the wings.) The propeller is a nice dark yellow, and the window is white.

Would you like your own set of vintage inspired airplanes? I would be happy to create a set for you as quilt clips, wall hangings, curtain holdbacks, wall letters, a growth chart, name sign...nearly anything.

Construction Trucks - Cement Truck, Backhoe, Dump Truck

Thursday, August 20, 2009

Inspired by the Eddie Bauer bedding "Little Builder," this cement truck is simply every little builder's dream. My 3 year old wanted to to keep it for his own collection of shapes, as he loves Tonkas in general.

The cement truck's cab and body are a denim blue with a light blue and sage green cement mixer. The window is white and layered onto the truck. The wheels I handpainted onto the body in black and then layered the sage green center of the wheels on top.

A perfect addition to the backhoe and dump truck in my
regular line (or have the regular shapes custom painted, too, like this set), the custom handpainted cement mixer will complete any Little Builder's nursery decor.

Contact me today to custom order your own cement mixer. Remember, nearly all designs are available in nearly all my products - wall letters, growth charts, curtain holdbacks, and more!
