PBK Emily Flower Quilt Clips

These are just the most adorable flowers to match the Pottery Barn Kids "Emily" bedding! They definitely took some time, but they turned out perfect...

I started with pale pink 5 petal daisies. Then I layered bubblegum pink over a few of the petals and then pale pink over some of the bubblegum pink, topping the inner petals with white.

Then, I took dark pink and stitched inside each set of petals and topped off the flowers with dark yellow centers with tiny dark pink polka dots.

Would you like your own set of PBK Emily quilt clips? Or maybe something similar? I can even do these gorgeous flowers on wall letters, as curtain holdbacks, or even on a growth chart! Contact me today!

Burberry Inspired Wall Letter

A mom special ordered this Burberry inspired wall letter for her very good friend who just adores anything Burberry, even adding it to her new daughter's room.

I started with a pale pink letter and outlined it in burnt umber. Then created the light pink daisy inspired with signature Burberry plaid in burnt umber, magenta, and white.

Lastly, I finished the wall letter with a sage green stem and leaf and a light pink ribbon.

Moo Cow by Sumersault Quilt Clips

When I finished these brown and white cows, I told myself, "These are too stinking cute!" The pictures just don't do them justice.

The mom wanted to pull the turquoise color from the bedding, so we did a turquoise background circle. For the cows, I have iron oxide spots accented with white stitches, a honey brown face, and nutmeg brown accents.

Butterflies for the "Butterfly Flowers" bedding

These sweet butterflies are some of the most adorable butterflies I have yet painted. I created this set to coordinate with Carter's (Kidsline) "Butterfly Flowers" bedding set.

First, I started with a pale pink upper wing and added the Valentine pink lower wing. Next, the iron oxide (chocolate) body on each butterfly.

My favorite part is using a tiny detail brush to carefully paint the tiny flowers in magenta and pale pink. Lastly, I finish off the butterflies with iron oxide stitches around each wing.

I would be happy to handpaint a set for you as well! I could even create a matching growth chart, a pair of curtain holdbacks, a set of wall plaques, or even your daughter's name in wall letters using this pattern. Contact me today for your own "Butterfly Flowers" butterflies!
