Quilts away!

Baby E has gotten her quilts and her Mommy just loves them! Which is good because I love them both dearly( and daddy too!)

You can see the embroidery and quilting of this one in earlier posts but here is the label I made using PolkaDotBunny's embroidery design.


I also made this Peter Rabbit quilt for her. I have been saving this fabric for a while to make a quilt for this baby!


The little carrots and radishes make me smile.


I even thought far enough ahead to buy the matching flannel for the backing.
I happened to have enough of that floral binding left over from when I was binding tea towels, and it was jut complementary enough to be cute.


All folded up and ready to be shipped.


There is only one more baby due in the near future and his quilt is done already... I will post it later...
now I have to finish my commissioned quilt and will start planning Christmas presents...

conquering the WISP's

Hello all!
This last week I have slowly been conquering my pile of wisps (works in slow progress) that are taking over my desk and staring at me...

This project I started last December and it is going to be put back on the shelf for a while! I hate how it looks and am not sure what I want to do with it... right now it puts the crappy in scrappy...



This quilt top I started last year as well, but the pattern was written poorly and when it came time for final assembly the blocks didn't fit together, so I put it away in frustration.
I got it out this last week ironed and re-measured everything and cut some of the blocks down to fit and the top is now done and ready for quilting! Hooray!

I used this opportunity to try to match the pattern of the border with mitered corners. I like how they turned out quite a bit.


I also made two more pairs of nine patch squares for the one a day quilt along...


I also made this 9 patch from some left over hst from another quilt...


I used about half of the completed squares to make a baby quilt for my cousin's new baby girl.


I have had this cute flannel for a while. I picked it up off of the clearance table before we moved...
I also found that really cute stripe fabric that I think will be binding the next few baby quilts...


I used the leftover binding to finish off this project that I started a couple months ago...
I saw a organizer like this in a Magellan's catalog and knew I could make one my self...
here it is completely open showing the outside...


Here is the inside... you can tell from the crooked pockets that I didn't really have a pattern that I was working from. I was just winging it, and I didn't really even bother to pin it...
There are 4 rows of 7 pockets each one is approximately 4 1/2" x 3".


To close it up you fold the two sides to the center and then feed the ribbons through the buttonhole in the center there.


Then fold it shut like a book and tie the ribbons...

This works really well for me... I dose out my daily medications and vitamins into little plastic bags that I got from the package store in the mall and have almost a whole month ready to go...
I keep this on the top shelf in the kitchen (right above the coffee mugs) so I see it and remember to take my vitamins everyday while keeping everything safely out of reach of the boys.

I also have pictures of some other quilts that are on their way to their owner, so I won't post those pictures until next week...
