A few more things for baby...

So lots of people seemed to be expecting little ones here lately. I usually make taggie blankets as shower gifts but this time I needed burp clothes and bibs so I thought I would try my hand at those. I bought a cheap bib from walmart and made myself a bib pattern, then I got some flannel and some terry cloth from Joanns and got started. These were super easy to make and I got to use up some of those batting scraps I had laying around, see I new they would come in handy eventually. The flower set on top are for a friend who is expecting a girl and the cute brown with animals is for my little one. I think I will like these more than the store bought ones, I have yet to find a store bought burp cloth I really like.

I WON!!

Look what I got in the mail from the lovely Jennifer Paganelli! I won the poodle raffle she was hosting on her blog a while back. I was so excited when I got this beautiful little bundle! I am thinking that a dresden plate quilt will be in the making soon. Well that is if I can bear to cut it up! :-)

Wow, it's been awhile...

So I haven't blogged in awhile, mostly because I haven't done very much lately. I just haven't had any motivation this pregnancy, I don't remember being this tired the first time around. Anyway so I have a few finishes now to post about. First is my best friends table runner I made for her wedding. I made a table runner as a gift because I knew that a quilt just wouldn't get finished anytime soon. This is a disappearing nine patch made with hunky dory. Her favorite color is Tiffany's blue and I think the hunky fabrics are close.

This is a baby quilt for our new little one. I just fell in love with this panel from spx fabrics. My four year old picked the fabric for the pinwheels and I found that orange rick rack on clearance at Joanns. I really like the way it turned out and it was pretty simple! Now I am going to try and finish my pinwheel sampler from psiquilt. I finished the first two blocks on time and haven't seemed to get back to it yet, but I'm thinking this will be a perfect weekend to get it done!

Progress

Sorry for the dark pics but the lighting in my house stinks! I am on week two of psiquilt.coms pinwheel quilt along and this is my progress so far. I am working with an Arabella by Pat Sloan FQ bundle and I just love the colors. I bought the fabrics close to year ago and I had planned to make a pinwheel quilt with them so when Rachel announced this quilt along I knew it would be the perfect project! I'm gonna add a few extra block though because I want a bed sized quilt. Can't wait to see the new block on Saturday!

A new finish

I finished the Shelby mine bag I have been working on. I decided I didn't like it about half way through but now thats it done I think I like it after all. I wasn't sure about the Boutique fabric, my SIL picked it, but I think it's OK. I love the shape of the bag though!

For your viewing pleasure

I just got back from my guilds quilt show "A Quilters Journey". It was great! I thought I would share a few of my favorite photos. Hope enjoy this mini quilt show!

Been awhile!

Well it's been awhile since I posted anything! I didn't realize it had been so long. There has been so much going on here. I finished my scruffily quilt top, tutorial by Rachel at psiquilt.com, it is done in objects of desire and I love it. My daughter does too, can you tell. :-) I also finished my modern siggy blocks and got those mailed off.

Right now I am working on a purse for my SIL. I am using the shelby mine pattern by Carley of quiltville and some boutique fabric. So far it seems pretty simple. I haven't felt up to doing much lately though so it might be awhile before it's finished. I have so many projects planned for this year I really need to get started. My hubby told me I needed to finish some before I bought stuff for anymore, then he gave me a gift certificate to my LQS for valentines! I just added three more projects to my list this weekend. Anybody else have this problem? How do you know when to say no?!
