Baby Ania's Quilt

One of my favorite things in the world is taking the time to create gifts. And I love baby projects; they're so meaningful and adorable, yet less intimidating than taking on something grownup sized (e.g., quilts, sweaters, etc.).

I made this two-sided quilt for baby Ania, beautiful little girl to our dear friends Katherine and Corey. When I brought the fabrics home, my husband thought they were a tad crazy, but they just spoke to me (and of Katherine and Corey) when I saw them in the store. I wanted something modern that could work for either gender (they didn't know what they were having), even if there was a touch of pink present. I hand quilted the layers together (following the fruit patterns in the fabric) and did a classic hand stitched binding in a very awesome chartreuse solid.

Quilts such as these are a labor of love, and I feel so, so happy with every teeny tiny stitch.

Custom Candy Bar Wrappers

I'm a big fan of usable favors (i.e., just say no to tchotchke) and chocolate is a pretty solid choice. A friend asked if I could help create custom candy bar wrappers for her daughter's birthday party favors. The result was super cute; details here.

Snuggie Fashion Week Invite

For New York Fashion Week, I designed an evite + related signage for Snuggie's runway event. Check out the project details here.

Yup, I Built The Safety 1st Air Protect Website

I love building websites for small businesses, but it was pretty exciting to tackle my first major corporate client gig: building a microsite for the new Safety 1st Air Protect carseat. I was thrilled with the way the site came out; you can check out the project details here.
