baby quilts!
I finished it!here’s the front…and the back…I decided to grade the saturation on the back (like we did for the 1/2 square triangles on the front), rather that just use white.i LOVE it.I quilted it with double diagonal lines, by drawing lines through the points, then lining up my quilting/1/4″ foot on the line, and […]
Bedtime!
nightly update!
Here’s my crocheted blanket so far…. 3 down, 7 in progress, 134 to go! but hey, I’m ahead of my goal of 1/week! And I’m loving the colors/pattern. I can’t wait to use up what I’ve dyed so far so I can dye more! And I bordered the baby quilt… It’s a solid red, then […]
Success!!!
I have one of the 1/2 square triangle baby quilts pieced, just need to plan the borders… Hopefully I’ll choose/sew them tonight, and can make my quilt sandwich tomorrow (tonight if I’m lucky!).Also, while my ukulele lessons aren’t going so well (it hurts!!!), my bread baking skills are definitely improving… Thanks in large part to […]
better pictures…
Here’s my stack of finished 1/2 square triangles… I made 18 pairs of solids/prints, 4 of each block, for 2 different (but the same) baby quilts… (I started with 4.5″ squares, but am not bothering to measure beyond that… here’re the blues-greens-yellows… the pinks-purples-reds-oranges-yellows… I made my husband help me choose the block order… we […]
Rainy day #6…
First the baby took her morning nap, so I was able to start a granny square with one of the green yarns I dyed last night… isn’t it purdy?!?!?!? Then I managed to get the boy-o to nap (unfortunately after his sister had already woken up), so I backpacked her, and cut out the envelopes […]
vintage boys pants…
My son is a very solid 3.5 year old. I’m told by the dr that I don’t have to worry about his weight, but he’s not a skinny minny. His shoulders are so wide, that if I buy a woven shirt, he needs a 7-8… (he’s like his dad in that respect) His waist/hip (cause […]
Quilt Along/ Clean Up
I have lots and LOTS of fat quarters, from a year of getting the 30’s medley of the month from Keepsake Quilting… dunno why, but they were all still folded in their bags… I get them in the mail, open then, caress them, and then carefully refold them and put them back… I’m considering participating […]

Look what I made tonight:Cutie patutie boys underpants from old baby clothes!Start to finish, including cutting time, I can whip one of these bad boys out in less than 10 minutes! (rereading this after posting, this sounds really dirty!) These would also work as “boy shorts” for a girl… with girlier fabric… I just wanted […]
