Monday Morning Post


The baby quilt is finished and 2 weeks ahead of time. I think the mama will like it.



It is very overcast here today so it is hard to get a good picture. The colors are grey and pink.


Speaking of pink things I got to spend the day on Friday with Maddy, just the 2 of us. First we went to see the movie Brave. Neither one of us thought it was that good. She was ready to leave after the first 10 minutes.


We made her pillow. Sewing velvet with a 4yr old on your lap was a definite challenge! Thanks again Cheryl for the monogram!



She picked out this fabric for the back, surprise it's Barbie! She stuffed it and slipped stitch the opening with purple thread because she thought it would look pretty.


Next we moved on to beading some bracelets....



Some needlepoint.....thanks for the tip Kathy D! The plastic needle was a great idea. She really felt like she was sewing.


At the last minute she decided it was Julie's birthday. We didn't have time to make a cake so we made do with ice cream and candles.
Oh to be 4 again!

Pink Monday

Not ironed yet!

Baby quilts are one of my favorite things to make. Fast, fun and easy to machine quilt. It also gives you a nice chance to play with fabrics as well.


Don't you love this fabric that had little baby sayings all over it! This went together fast, I cut and pieced the entire thing yesterday.


As you can tell this is for a baby girl. I loved this little one on a swing, how perfect. This will be machine quilted by the end of the week.....


To continue with the pink theme today......my friend Cheryl machine embroidered this piece of velvet for Maddy. She thinks we might turn it into a pillow.



Until then she is using it as a table cloth, so she can look at it.
What are you working on today?
