Exciting Day

I have been busy helping my daughter move her sewing room and redoing the room for my new
grand daughter. She will be born today.

Her name is Mackenna.

I made her this quilt

with some soft chevron minky on the back

 

and quilted some hearts for her

 

 

and made some curtains and a diaper bag

 

I need to find a better hanger for the top to fit the rounded edge

 

and a little organizer

 

my daughter made her the cutest banner

I thought I got a better picture of it then this - darn it!

I also didn't get a good picture of the soft minky sheet I made

for the changing table

 

and a dust ruffle

 

So i have been busy sewing for our new little one

I can hardly wait until she gets here!!

Dots and Chevrons

 

My daughter wanted me to make her a lap quilt with a snugly backing

and she loves dots and chevrons and all the bright happy colors

so it was so easy for me to choose fabrics I knew she would like.

 

 

I used a soft cuddle fleece for the backing

and a simple loopy panto.

 

and I tried my hand at a new binding technique

that I found here.

It was easy to do -

and I like being able to use two different colors/fabrics

 in the binding.

 

Now I want to make one for myself

 

 

Happy Sewing!!

My First Rag Quilt

I had so much fun making this little quilt

 

 

I even had so much fun cutting the seams.

I was a little disappointed that I didn't buy more flannel - I just didn't

want to stop with just one.

 

 

Here is the print a little closer

 

 

 

and it was so easy to make

I wanted somthing light so I didn't add any batting.

I followed this video from

Beverly's How To

 

I hope you are enjoying your week-end too!!

 

until later - Carol

 



Mystery Quilt - baby and blue angel's

I decided to make Bonnie's mystery quilt this year - It's my first time.

The quilt is made up of two blocks

This is one block

and this is the other block

I still need to sew all of the block together.

I only have the blocks and the row together on the last row

So much work - and so much fun!!

I have been just taking my time, and enjoying the process - then

I remembered I need to be sewing a quilt for my new grand-daughter - -

she is supposed to arrive March 17.

My daughter had an ultra sound a few days ago and the baby is already

weighing 4lbs4oz

I really think she will come before her due date so I had to stop working

on my quilt along.

I have two quilts for the baby I want to make

and one for her mom

This is going to be so much fun!!

 

 

My Unity (Baby Lock) came with a laser light and I used it instead of marking my

fabric with lines from corner to corner and LOVED it.

 

 

I love being here at the beach and see the Blue Angels fly over to do some practice

I usually don't have my camera when they come and was so happy to have it today.

Wouldn't you know they didn't stay long today

 

 

Usually they have different colors of smoke

and flip all over the place

and are so much closer to my house

 

 

 but I still enjoyed their fast visit

 

I look forward to seeing them again.

 

and I wanted to introduce you Cricket - isn't he so cute!!

He will be one in April.

 

I have been jumping all over the place today!

Sorry - I just had so much to share - it's been awhile.

 

until next time - Carol
