My new Etsy shop

I'm really exited to announce the opening of my new Etsy shop:

AzureTurquoise

AzureTurquoise is the product of three generations of creative and fashionable women. My mother lovingly created practical everyday items, beautiful dresses and whimsical costumes for my sisters and I. She taught me everything I know. Now inspired by my two young daughters, I am happy to continue this tradition and share it with you.

My AzureTurquoise collection is lovingly crafted in a century old farmhouse in Ontario, Canada. I love using beautiful fabrics, vintage buttons and pretty ribbons to create pretty little things for young ladies of all ages. AzureTurquoise embraces modern girlhood and womanhood as well as the belief that you can wear an adorable dress one day and splash through muddy puddles the very next!

Here's a sneak peek!

Super cute button hair ties and unique yoyo necklaces!

Crib bedding

So just a quick show and tell today!

I've been working on this crib bedding for the last few weeks. It includes a crib skirt, 2 sheet sets, extra large crib quilt, and 2 quilted pillow covers.

 The crib skirt actually has 3 panels (it's just not compatible with my crib because of the solid sides). The box pleat also need to be ironed.

Front and back of the quilt

A close-up of the quilting. I went for a ripple effect in order to accentuate the 'water' in the fabric.

The fox pillow is based on Elizabeth Hartman's Fancy Fox quilt pattern available here.

Finally, because it just seemed to make sense to display the quilt on a canoe!
