Woodland animals

I'm invited to a baby shower and the mom to be picked the theme of woodland animals.  This theme works perfect for my stash busting mission.  

I have pieces leftover from the fabric panel Thicket by Gingiber that I've made other baby quilt gifts from.  This panel has been pretty popular for baby quilts.  It's supposed to be a boy so I added touches of green throughout.  

And of course I made the fabric tote to coordinate and put the quilt in.  It's filled with baby gifts besides the quilt.  One extra touch I added was a painted wooden owl I found at Walmart for under $1.  I drilled a hole in the top, inserted a ribbon and tied it to the handle of the tote.  This will be my gift card.

I was able to use my stash for everything in this project except the backing of the quilt.  So have I put a dent in my stash?   Possibly.  It's hard to tell.  I still have lots of fabric waiting for its debut into something special, including one more panel from Thicket by Gingiber.  And I have plenty of ideas swirling in my head.

Although I haven't posted on this blog for a while, I have been busy and have a few quilts to share with you.  They are stacked up waiting to be quilted.  Now that the weather has cooled my studio will be my retreat for the next couple months.  I'll get caught up in no time!  Ha ha ha.  So be on the lookout for more postings real soon.
