After a long hiatus, I’ve finally gotten back to designing. My “Angel Wings: Quilted Baby Wrap” is perfect for a newborn, a fabulous gift. I’m launching it today, MAY 9, 2025–for two weeks, it’ll be half-price, just $3.
It wraps baby up like a burrito.
Made of 64 5″ charm squares (you can get them from thefabrichut currently on sale https://www.thefabrichut.com/collections/charm-packs?page=2 ), and 1 1/2 yds. of backing and batting, it’s a quick-to-source and easy-to-make little quilt. No binding.
What did I say??? Yes, NO binding. It’s turned, then quilted. Easy does it. I backed the sample with flannel (properly, “cotton flannelette“). THAT’S A TIP. I like to back my baby quilts with soft cotton flannel to dial up coziness.
A bunch more tips on cutting, sewing and quilting are included in my NEW YOUTUBE video!!! You go to YouTube videos and find The Fabric Hut/Quilt. Scroll down and look for Marc and Libby. Marc is thefabrichut.com rep, and I’m the star–my 15 minutes of fame. HAHAHA! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prUBxf4fuQ8
I have another quilt design in the works along with some other excitement coming up. Two of my wall hangings were chosen for a very selective exhibit, opening in June, at the prestigious Montgomery Art Gallery. AND I have a solo exhibit in downtown Montgomery all of August–it’s on EMBELLISHMENT, so it’ll include a lot of clothing and accessories. I’ll be teaching some sewing- without-a-machine classes there as well. In the meantime, I have some items for sale at The Tea Garden in Montgomery and The Kelly Art Center in Wetumpka, I’m new president of the Elmore County Art Guild….and my husband and I have been traveling a lot…
…so please forgive me for not posting for a while. I’ve been up to my ears, working at other things. Facebook froze my account, including my business account, when I got hacked by a bad-actor, so that burst my bubble as that’s how I advertised my website. @#$!@#! I admit it. After that, I just got depressed about it and wasn’t blogging or designing. But no more pity party and excuses!!!!
Thefabrichut.com wants me to do more YouTube videos, so I’m getting inspired again. I should have some new items out quickly. Stay tuned and come get a darling pattern while it’s on sale!!
Getting back in the saddle, Libby
