Stisha Stitch: Quilt Top

Quilt Top

The Baby Quilt top is done!

This quilt is a true fabric saving quilt. I have utilized all the fabric from the my previous two quilts and haven't bought any new fabric for this one. The two little hearts that represent my boys, have fabric that was in each of their quilts. And the white border around the squares, white leaves on vines, is the fabric backing my little girl's heart in the top left. I had bought it for my last baby's quilt- but didn't use it. Now, it seems so much more appropriate for my little girl.

All pieced together- five hearts together, waiting and welcoming our new one to the family.
Now it's quilting time.

About Me

Hi there! I'm Anastasia- Stisha, is a Ukrainian nickname my family called me when I was young.

I'm a stay at home, homeschooling mama of three. In a previous life, I did motion graphics and design for commercials, tv shows and movies. And I taught college kids how to make their designs move and look cool. Now, I raise kidlings, teach at home, cook, sometimes knit, and dream of sewing more.

When I had my first baby I couldn't find clothes that fit over his cloth diapers-so I began making my own patterns and solving my kid clothing woes. I learned that I could make almost anything I really wanted- and often 20% cooler.

Now, I seek time to make things that are practical, yet special and call back to a time when a woman's creations were made out of necessity -but also out of love, and instilled a heritage and tradition of things in the home that are handmade.

I love sewing and mothering. So, along with my design background and a little Ukrainian folk style, I lovingly make magical goods for my family, home and self.
