more blocks...

Here are blocks 14-17 for the QAL.


I am also to this point on all the baskets for my commissioned quilt. Tomorrow I will add the bottoms and then I can start embellishing the baskets that will be in the center...

This pink is the secondary color for the baskets... the majority of them are plum colored.

Keeping myself busy...

I have been chugging away at the block a day quilt along.
I have been making twins of each pair all with white alternating blocks...

Here are pairs 6-9.


And 10-13. That's 26 total blocks...

I am not making one block a day as you can guess. but am definitely averaging it!


I also finished Baby E's quilt and am washing it now... I am waiting on the delivery of my printable fabric so I can make the label...


A better shot to see the quilting...
Please don't laugh at my uneven and wobbly stitches... this is my first handquilting project...

Quilts and crafts

I have joined up on a quilt along since I have nothing else to do around here...
This one is sponsored by Crazy Mom Quilts and is the One-A-Day quilt along. The goal is to make one nine patch a day for 70 days. I got a head start this weekend and picked out the majority of my green stash and the white on white prints.


I am actually making "twins" of each set so that I can set this qult without any sashing.



I made an art smock for Jimmy for when he goes to school.


and it's reversible.


I made a tablecloth as a present that is yet to be mailed. All the chicks are dancing differently.

One more top almost finished

I had originally purchased this pattern to be Joey's bed quilt, but now have second thoughts about it. I have added a black and rainbow batik border to try to tone down the pink, but it still is a fairly girl looking quilt and Daddy is grumbling about it being on his boys' bed...
So it may end up being a present for someone who needs a rainbow! You never know...
