The Complete Ensemble

We recently created a whole ensemble for our little second cousin, Miss Madison Danielle, our recent posts have been to show you our progress step by step and now you can view the complete and finished project.

Monogrammed Quilt,
Gift Set of 3 Monogrammed Burp Clothes,
&
a Monogrammed Diaper Bag.

First we started with the quilt...

Then we monogrammed a diaper bag...

The Diaper Bag with the Paisleys was purchased by our Aunt independently and she had no idea what we had already planned!
(Please note we do not stock diaper bags.)

Because of the nature of the bag we could not embroider directly on to the bag...but not wanting to disappoint our aunt we got creative and came up with patches...which we then hand sewed to the bag! : ) I have a whole new respect for the ladies in days gone buy who only sewed by hand! Most impressive!

Next we have our Burp Cloth Gift Set...

The colors in ribbons and lettering not only tie in the Quilt, but also the Paisley Diaper Bag.

The Monogrammed square says:

Madison
Danielle
2010

When it was all said and done everything really just came together!

Blessings to you Miss Madison! We can't wait to meet you!

Embroidery and Monogramming on a Diaper Bag

This is a quick show and tell post. We did a special project for our Aunt, (it is her daughter who's having the baby) which consisted of creating patches featuring the baby's name and initials and then hand sewing the patches on the diaper bag. Here's the finished product.

: ) Learning as we go!

A Quilt for a Sweet Baby Girl...

Sugar and Spice and everything nice...
that's what little girls are made of!!!

This quilt was made with love for our new
little second cousin to be, Miss Madison!!!
We cannot wait to meet the newest member of the family!

In honor of her soon to be birth,
we embroidered her Name and Birth Year on a corner of the quilt

All of our quilts are custom made. We find out the theme colors for the nursery and then we select material and design a pattern for each quilt.

We love making quilts because they are projects that all three of us Daughters of Texas can work on together...it makes the process so much more enjoyable!

We hope you enjoyed viewing our most recent quilt; if you would like to see quilts we have previously made please click here. Or if you would like to order a Custom quilt please email Jennifer and DaughtersofTexas@gmail.com and we will be happy to work with you on creating that special keepsake for your baby or a baby you love!

Our Latest Quilt!!!

A Quilt For Robin Hood!!!

Here is our latest custom quilt! This quilt was made with a woodland animal theme. And features, Moose, Black Bears, Trout, Canadian Geese, and more!!!

We used four different fabrics to create this quilt. Two prints and two different colors of suede type material.

The marvels of design

I really love the color combination on this quilt

The rich colors just proclaim coziness!

This time around we got pretty fancy and let the creative juices really flow. We had some dear friends come down over the holidays and Lauren brought her embroidery machine with her. So this time around we added embroidery to our quilt.

Thank you Lauren for this great inspiration and opportunity...you can contact Lauren for special projects or handmade jewelry at: http://leastinthekingdom.blogspot.com/

But we did not stop there...

This time we decided to make complementing decorative pillows for the baby's nursery too!

Adding pillows to one's quilt makes a perfect Gift Set for anyone!

We made two Pillows!!!
This is the front...

And, this is the back.
However, we made them interchangeable so one could decorate the room just the way you like it!

We finished the back with the same suede material as we did the front. As this 'little Robin Hood' lives in the Great White North of America...we wanted to be sure baby would stay warm!!!

The finished product.

We were so blessed to be able to do this quilt. It was a true joy!

A Quilt for a King

This quilt was especially made for our cousin's new baby boy, Little Tonka, who shared the same due date as his cousin, Little Cupcake. Babies are such a blessing and we are very happy to be able to Welcome Little Tonka into the family!!! Welcome Baby Boy!!!

He is such a sweet and good baby!!! And so long too! He going to be a football player just like his Daddy, Tonka, and his big Brother, Tonka Jr.

We made this quilt to complement Little Cupcake's Quilt so some of the common themes are that we used the same Blue Jean material to make both quilts and we finished the backs of with silly satin. Blue for Little Tonka and Pink for Little Cupcake.

Sadly, we lost all the pictures we had of our making the quilt together.

In addition to the Texas flare of the Denim, we used, Cute Choochoo Train print, and Bought super soft Puffy White fabric to emulate the smoke coming from the train's smoke stack. It was so much fun making the quilt for Little Tonka!!!

We hope this Keepsake quilt will be a blessing to you Little Tonka and that it will keep you warm this winter!!!

A Quilt for a Queen

This quilt was made for our Cousin's new baby girl, Little Cupcake. Though we have sewn dresses, skirts, and blouses before, this was our first quilt! We had so much fun making it. Quilting is an art we are delighted to delve into. And we invite you to come a long for the ride!

~Stripes and frilly Dots~
We picked the material based off of the colors and theme our Cousin picked for her baby's room and we introduced a fare of Texas by adding blue jean to the mix.



Johanna was our technical adviser on this project

Planing the pattern
(We each designed upwards of 3 patterns apiece before we found one that was perfect!)



It is so much fun to work with one's sisters!

Presenting...
The Finished Product!

Little Cupcake on her quilt...she is such a doll!


For the back of the quilt we picked a very silky soft material...babies love the smooth cool touch of silk.


The little heart down in the corner is something we came up with as a trademark. Every quilt we make will have some kind of special patch over a corner square.

Here you can see how the quilt matches Little Cupcake's room!

Please view our slide show presentation and tribute to our dear Little Cupcake...
