Custom Quilt





So I am still playing catch up with my orders... thankfully I am seeing a light at the end of the tunnel!!! I hope to be posting new items in my shop in about two weeks - I HOPE!!! Anyways.. I have to share my latest order which was a custom quilt. One of my repeat customers - who has been so utterly patient with me - thank you - you know who you are - ordered this custom quilt. I can't be given all the credit because she picked out all the fabrics... but honestly - who doesn't love Amy Butler!!! Every time I do a quilt out of her fabric it will instantly become my favorite! So here it is! Enjoy!

Joel Dewberry comments on Lemons and Lollis products!




So... I tried something I never did before and actually sent an email to the fabric designer with links to my creations. I honestly figured I wouldn't get a response - especially considering this guy just released the most beautiful line and I figured he would have emails coming out the wazoo!! To my surprise I got the sweetest email back from JOEL DEWBERRY and it was within 24 hours of me sending my email!! WOW... I was so excited I had to share it here. Here is what he said:

Corina,I was delighted to see your recent creations! To be honest, I came across your EEVAA dress on my own yesterday prior to your email. I try to make a habit of going online, a couple of times a week, to research what is happening with my fabric. What a happy surprise to begin seeing my fabric designs show up on such beautiful projects. It is very rewarding as a fabric designer to see other talented designers like yourself get excited and use my fabric. Thank you. I wish you the best of luck and hope your store is a success.

Toddler Dresses!!! YIPEE!




I have been "chomping' at the bit" (who says that anyways)... to make toddler dresses - partly because my little sweet pea can't wear my creations anymore - she is growing like a weed!!! Plus.. I wanted to create lines that wouldn't leave big sis out. My goal is to have a baby collection and a coordinating toddler girl collection. That way when the new baby is born - big sis can get a little surprise too!!!


When I came across Joel Dewberry's new collection - I knew this was it! I am so pleased with how this dress turned out. It's simple and classic design will make it timeless. It is extremely well constructed with surged seams that are completely encased in the dress - making it a great hand-me-down dress lasting lifetimes. It is reversible giving you two designer looks in one. Plus it is roomy enough you can layer it over a simple white t-shirt and jeans as the seasons begin to change giving your little girl that bohemian chic look! Finally, the cherry on top, I will use it as a cover-up. My daughters latest trick is dribbling her drink down her chin and onto whatever clothes she happens to be wearing. So... I'll keep one in my bag and when we are out shopping and we need a quick wardrobe change - I can throw it over her clothes and we are off!!!


I call it my eeva dress - named after my sweet pea - see more at lemonsandlollis.com

New Kid on the Block Collection




I absolutely love Japanese fabric. They have the best designers - and unfortunately it cost a fortune to import it from Japan. BUT... I couldn't resist! I had to make something out of this fabulous house fabric I found. I call this my "New Kid on the Block" collection - and no - I am not celebrating the band from the 1990's! This is a great gender neutral collection in some of my favorite colors chocolate and turquoise! Check it out at http://www.lemonsandlollis.com/
