Projects for Roxanna

Jessica's baby shower is coming up... I made a diaper bag (I am going to fix the stitching around the heart), a Christmas dress and a holiday/winter dress for her with a matching beret. I modeled the dresses on Maggie. =)

Tooting Sharon's horn for her

Sharon made this quilt for Maggie and gave it to me at the baby shower (with a really cute tote bag for it). She used the Little Mermaid fabric I was sew greedily eye-balling when I visited her house (hehe). I think the bubble looking quiting pattern looks sew cewl on it. Maggie goes on this quilt for tummy-time. She hates tummy time... but she loves her tummy time quilt (I know she does even though she can't tell me sew yet). Thank you, Sharon!

Okay, Candi, I made something too

I had made some extra Mariner's Compass blocks when I taught a class. I was making them to use as a demonstration. Trouble is, I already made a Mariner's Compass quilt, and I didn't want another one. Sew, I made this jacket out of the blocks and a five dollar Walmart sweatshirt.

I Cannot Contain Myself

I am a blog hog...I know. I started this quilt for Jessica and David's baby a few days ago...I have four squares left to make. This is my adaption to Evelyn Sloppy's "HONEYBERRIES" quilt from the book "40 Fabulous Quick-Cut Quilts" . As you can see, I added a small personal touch in the center, I embroidered a floral/dragonfly design. I also chose to get away from traditional baby quilt motifs for this one, and use up some scraps of batik from a jelly roll I have had for a long time. I purchase NO NEW fabrics for this quilt. The cool thing about this book, it uses all 2 1/2 inch strips...Sew it works well to use up scraps. I just couldn't wait for it to be finished to post it....I find that happens alot lately...all of my recent posts are of unfinished projects...like my whole life. EVERYTHING is unfinished...dishes, laundy, the last dozen movies I watched...LOL

The project I am finishing today

This week I am purging my infinished projects from my life. I started this quilt months ago for a friend of ours who had their first grandchild. Blankets are forever though...so better late than never. It is big enough to last till he is two or so...so I actually had a long time left before I HAD to finish it. I just stitched in the ditch to quilt it...the high pile batting gave it a really cushy look.

I did rest yesterday, Kim, but my brain didn't, so first thing this morning I put this together. I had most of the pieces cut and planned....

My first 4D digitizing

I am making jackets for James and Tiff for Christmas using this digitized OSU logo. Not bad for a first attempt eh? I have some tweaking to do, but this is the first stitch out.

Now all I have to do is reassemble the shirt

Here is an updated photo of my pumpkin sweatshirt
