Soon to be a WIP :)

So does this look like a project waiting to happen or what!

My little boy Jack is just big enough to sit in a highchair I pulled it out and remembered that after the use of 4 girls in it I had thrown away the fabric padding for it!  

It was necessary trust me :) 

 So I'm wanting to make something new for it and I'm not sure what fabric to use.  It's got to be very boy!  

Am I stuck with solids, polka dots, or boy applique?  

There are some great applique projects out there!

Alex would love bicycle's but that is so hard to come by!

Any suggestions for me?  I need 'em!

My "morning of" project!

I had another baby shower to go to the other morning.

It was kind of a last minute notice thing but we all love this girl and wanted to do it, so here we are :) I found some fun fabric and the morning of (there was a little more notice than that but

obviously I'm a procrastinator :) oh well) I made an adorable changing pad for her.

It was inspired by a Moda Bake Shop project.

I didn't have time to go look over the instructions so I just took the p

icture in my head and went with it! The pocket at the bottom holds a wipes box and a diaper. I Successfully completed my first attempt at free-motion quilting.

And took some horrible pictures (this one is of the chenille backing)

before adding a velvet style ribbon & a piece of velcro to close it. Wrapped it up and went on my way! Happy baby shower Britney!

TTT

Alright girls, who's seen the latest Tool Time Tuesday?
Every one of them is so much fun! Most of you know I'm quite the hardware store junkie :) Ask my husband, I am the owner of the chop saw, jig saw, sander, cordless drill, etc. in our house. So I was hooked after the first TTT I saw and love them! I've been doing a ton of applique lately and lovin' circles right now and Karen just made my life a whole lot easier with her perfect little circles! Or maybe not... this might prompt me to start a few more projects!

P.S. Follow that TTT link up there in the last paragraph... I am so making those aprons for one of my little girls birthdays... or something! I'm thinking we need some of those walking around at my house!

Happy Spring to Finish!

Well unfortunately my Spring to finish projects didn't finish to much this time around...

I got my Headbands done...

and some really cute Easter eggs...

from this tutorial done. (I know the banister leaves much to be desired but the eggs were stinkin' cute! I had to put them up!)

I finished my Why Choose Quilt (Though I'm still working on writing up it's pattern, oh well)

And that's it. Pretty sad if you ask me. I did work on a several other stalled projects all while helping my husband with his new business plans. By way of sewing, I finished my first set of blocks for the quilt along I'm leading...
but they're still just blocks. I'm finishing as we speak my coin quilted you are what you eat quilt... but even then it needs to be quilted and bound. I finished my Jan, Feb, & Mar BOM KC Star quilt blocks ( I don't have April or May's yet :) ), but again... still just blocks on the table! As well as working up some cute little footballs rattles I'm going to be selling on etsy. So, all of these last things are just finishing another step, they are still projects whether they are in the block stage, top stage, or else where. Oh well, :) I'm glad I got these things moving again! It was fun to play and I got myself 3 entries in Jaquie's contest!

Happy Spring to Finish! How'd you do? Did you Spring miles or feet to your finish?

Great news for you!

My sister is doing a pay it forward and is still looking for a 3rd friend to do something nice for! She's a great seamstress and does lots of projects!
This is a pic of her FIRST quilt!
You can see some of her projects on the MSQC blog where she contributes. I was lucky enough to be one of her people :) she signed up under Angela at Moda Home Mom! Can't wait to see what she gets!! And I'll be passing on the favor to 3 more friends later!!!

Designer Fabric? Or Cake? Hmm...

So! It seems everything I do turns out fabric related!

I made the cake to match the new babies bedding for Meg's shower! It turned out pretty cute I think :)

I also found my pictures for a headband tutorial ( I know they're a dime a dozen right now, but I think you'll like how they came out!) that I'll be posting on the MSQC blog

This was part of Easter for my girls... They love 'em:) Success!

... and one of my spring to finishes!

You know I'm not getting quite as many of those done as I thought I would. Only 2 days left. Guess I better step on it! lol!

Baby Fun!

you know everything is more fun when you do it for a baby!

This is a quilt and some of the bedding I designed with a friend of mine for her first baby boy! It was fun just to work on it! I love the colors & patterns, she's going to put the baby's monogram in the blue square after he's born and the name is officially decided! I don't know about you but I know how that goes :) The name war is still in full swing at their house! But in the meantime the bedroom is looking fabulous!
