Maddie's BIG girl room...

It is a sad day indeed....my sweet girl Maddie is growing up soon to be 5. She is coming into her own and has decided she needs a big girl room. And this big girl room needs to be up stairs with her brother. Much to my dismay...she may be right. I have a sneaky suspicion my troubles have just begun!!!


Inspired by Michael Millers Sea Beauties we're off and running.



I made a pattern to match the fabric...trying not to make it to difficult to hand applique.



Pieced it.



Hand (sewing machine really)appliquéd her...Surprisingly it looks like a mermaid pillow.



Viola...Maddie's very happy with it. I'm off to begin machine appliquéing blocks for the quilt, curtains and MORE pillows.
