Quilting and Crocheting

Well, I’ve been inspired to switch from crocheting infinity scarves to baby caps! I’m having so much fun! And of course I’m still quilting like crazy too!

These are fun and easy….I’ve got other ones I’m working on now too that will be quite a bit different than these. I need to get some more yarn and different colors….Maybe try one for a boy!DSC04016

I’m getting my Vintage Tin quilt put together now too…It’s been pretty easy so far….DSC04019

I just need to make a bunch of flying geese and this top will be done! WooHoo!

Happy Quilting and Crocheting!

Baby Quilts

I’ve just finished two baby quilts this week…..one should have been finished two years ago….Briony is now two and I’ve just finished quilting and binding her quilt that my mom made for her. It had gotten buried in my sewing room and I had conveniently forgotten all about it. When I was looking for the backing for Danelle’s baby quilt I found it and thought I had better make it a priority to get done. It’s finished and looks pretty good for just a panel and borders. Hopefully I can get it to her soon.

This quilt for Baby Joel turned out really cute.I love the name on it. It was pretty easy to do and really looks nice.The colors are more vibrant than the pictures shows…It makes me smile to look at it!

Time for Sewing again!

After the last 5 weeks, I am so ready to have life return to normal…which means normal work hours and normal sewing hours!

I actually cleaned some of the house today and that makes me feel good…..I also did some sewing which makes me feel even better! I love to go to my sewing room and get lost in my fabric and quilts. Speaking of lost….I can’t find the backing to Danelle’s baby quilt that I purchased about two weeks ago. I’m pretty certain I remember bringing it home, but I can’t find it anywhere. I even cleaned and rearranged my sewing room a little to no avail….I’m not sure what I’m going to do about it either…I bought the last few yards off the bolt, so there’s no more to be had. If it doesn’t show up by tomorrow, I’ll have to use something that I have on hand….this really frustrates me.

I gave Val her Winter Wonderland quilt for Christmas…she really liked it! I am so proud of my sister…she’s lost over 100 pounds now! Way to go Val!DSC03991

And here is another quilt I just finished binding….my “Paris in the Fall’ BOM….DSC03999

Here is the quilt I made for Baby Joel….I need to quilt it, but first I have to find the backing! Hopefully it will turn up soon….I think I just might need to pray about this. Whenever I lose something, I pray that God will help me find it, and 99.9 % of the time I find whatever I’ve lost! Thank you Jesus!DSC03993

I’m still making scarves too….I can’t even begin to count how many of these infinity (cowl) scarves I’ve made now…Most of them are in my daughter Karmon’s possession….I’m making a few to bring to my daughter Lesley now too…DSC03998

Of course the purple one was made special for Lesley, and a big thank you to Lesley for giving me a subscription to the magazine ‘Primitive Quilts and Projects’….I absolutely love the magazine!

Happy Quilting!
