Beautiful hand-made gifts

Kerry

What can I say about this cute mini quilt
made by Kerry of verykerryberry other than
the fact it's nothing but everything I adore?
Gray + happy colors, vintage fabrics,
alphabets, small patchwork, mini quilt,
and penguins!! I'm totally in LOVE!
This is even so much prettier in person.
Kerry told me that this quilt was "inspired by
her daughter singing 'True Colors' in the car."
Just like the song, this quilt makes me
feel relaxed and positive.

Even the backing is pretty and has
lots of fun details! Now that Kerry wrote up
a tutorial for this quilt,
I've been really wanted to make one myself!
Thank you so much, Kerry!!

This is a very sweet pair of mittens my friend
AJ knitted for me for my birthday gift. These
are absolutely gorgeous and fit my hands
perfectly! See? :D

I tend to wear black/gray/white, so I love
to have accessories that are in the color range.
I can't wait for the winter to come so that
I can start wearing them. They are so comfortable
and definitely add a quite bit of fashion for me :D
Thank you so much, AJ!

This weekend, I might get in some trouble
now that Joe has agreed to go to San Francisco
with me to stop by Renegade Craft Fair that
I've wanted to go for years! I love, love, and
love browsing things handmade no matter
what they are: Everything handmade inspires me
basically, and I am just thrilled that
this place will be full of inspiration.
Wish me luck that I won't be in a
spending-spree mode too much, haha.

Thank you for stopping by here.
Have a great weekend, everyone ;)

    Best of luck to you to at the fair! I'd love to know where the fingerless glove pattern came from - any clues?

    Your wee quilt is lovely.

    No fair, your pictures of the mittens are better than mine!! And you have such a nice manicure too ;-)

    I'm so glad they fit, my hands are quite small and they fit me, so I was sure they would, but it's lovely to see them on.

    CuteStuffInside... the pattern is a modified version of Fetching by Cheryl Niamath - it's a free pattern from Knitty.com. I make mine top down and add a bit extra to go further up the arm - warm wrists, warm hands!

    Cheers,
    AJ

    Whats up, This is a wonderful summation, I located your blog checking google for any similar subject and observed this. I couldnt find as well significantly other tips and information on this posting, so it was fantastic to discover this one. I will almost certainly be returning to think about a number of other articles which you have written another time.
