Sewing along......kinda

Well, I have been reminded by my dear husband almost daily that I have not yet blown him away on my blog with a list of sewing I have done. Yes, he's a smart alec! There is a reason though. I've been working on a graduation quilt so have not been able to make any baby items yet. I will share some photos on what I have been doing though.

I had a baby quilt to make for a friend who is due in the next 2 weeks. I got it done in time for the shower and was able to make this super adorable pillow to go with it.



This kid has such a long name it turned into a baby body pillow!

This is the quilt I made. It's one I designed myself. Pretty simple really.........
Well darn. It would seem I forgot to take a photo of that quilt. I don't know how that happened!

In between those quilts I did finish 2 ufo's from my pile. They were pinned and ready for quilting so why I put them away, who knows.





I'm very happy with them. They turned out great!

I did take time out to make some thing for me to go with the cute new retro rocking chair I bought.





These are front and back views.

Easter around here was just lovely. The weather was beautiful. Dan and Chris spent the day outside, I cooked and Susan made these.





Yes, it's a boy and his name is Alec Daniel. Susan loved making these. I showed her how to work the Cricut. How to make a stencil and how to work with the fabric paints and she was off and running. I'm sure she will make more in the next few months. In the mean time she is graduating in 4 weeks!

Well, I'm off. There is more to share but this is long enough so it will be shared in another post.

Bye!

Quick post

Hello!

Not much posting from me (as usual) but I have been busy crafting and sewing away and will be sharing lots of photos soon.

I have decided to cut my computer time to one hour a day for Lent. The time flies by on here and before I know it I'll have been on for several hours! Then the day will be gone so the one hour a day was born and several friends are doing it as well. I'm really enjoying every thing I'm getting done and will probably keep my time limited even after Lent is over.

I did want to mention that in a previous post I posted photos of the baby pants I made for a young friend who is having a girl soon. I love, love, love this pattern and the blog of the designer. I was reading the licensing on the pants pattern yesterday and realized that I was supposed to ask before posting a picture of any thing I make from the pattern so I have e-mailed her for permission to do that so you can see the slew of pants I am making for my grand baby that is coming. I believe I posted a link to her blog in that pants post. You really need to check out her site. It has given me so much sewing inspiration! It's Made by Rae.

Well my hour is almost up so I need to scoot. No photos in this post! A first for me. My next one will be jammed packed with photos of what I have been working on these days. You wait, you will be blown away my friends.....blown. a. way.

Bye!

What's on my design wall.....

A friend on my Flylady Quilter group (*waving* Hi ladies!) asked to see what was on our design walls so I thought, hey, I actually have a photo of what is actually on my design wall right now, go figure. This is the start of a graduation quilt for my daughters friend. I really like how it's coming along but I have a long way to go on it yet. Lots more half square triangles to make before I am done and a ton of seams in it so I need to factor that in when thinking of a quilting design.



Well I guess it won't finish itself *sigh*.

Bye!
